Product Overview

The 330104-00-06-50-01-00 provides high-precision displacement and vibration sensing as part of the Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm Transducer System. This metric-threaded probe utilizes non-contact eddy current technology to monitor critical machinery parameters, including radial vibration and axial thrust. Featuring an integrated 5.0-meter lead shielded by stainless steel armor and a specialized connector protector, this probe thrives in the most aggressive industrial environments. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New original hardware, ensuring factory-certified linear performance for your machinery protection loops.

Part Number Breakdown

The 330104 series follows a modular nomenclature to define precise mechanical and protective specifications:

Technical Specifications

The 330104-00-06-50-01-00 delivers stable sensing under extreme plant conditions:

• Sensing Technology: Non-contacting Eddy Current

• Probe Tip Diameter: 8.0 mm

• Linear Range: 2.0 mm (80 mils)

• Nominal Scale Factor: 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil)

• Armor Material: Flexible Stainless Steel (SST)

• Thread Specification: M10 x 1 (Armored)

• Tip Material: Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS)

• Operating Temperature: -51 °C to +177 °C (-60 °F to +351 °F)

Engineering Advantages

• Extended 5.0m Integrated Lead: The 5.0-meter total length enables a direct connection from the machine mounting point to the Proximitor® sensor in many installations. This eliminates the need for an intermediate extension cable, reducing signal loss and potential points of failure.

• Full Stainless Steel Armor: Flexible armor encases the entire cable length, protecting the sensitive coaxial core from physical crushing, abrasion, and accidental cutting during heavy-duty machinery maintenance.

• Connector Protector Integration: The "Option 01" configuration includes a factory-installed protector for the ClickLoc™ connector. This shield prevents oil, moisture, and conductive debris from contaminating the connection, which effectively eliminates false vibration trips and signal drift.

• Superior Chemical Resilience: The Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip resists chemical attack from hot turbine oils and synthetic lubricants. This material ensures the probe maintains dimensional and electrical stability inside the bearing housing for decades.

• Precision Metric Adjustability: The M10 x 1 thread fits directly into metric machinery housings. With a 60 mm fully threaded case, engineers gain maximum gapping flexibility to reach the target shaft and set the precise DC gap voltage required for accurate calibration.

FAQs

Q: Can I connect this 5.0-meter probe directly to a Proximitor®?

A: Yes, provided you use a 5.0-meter system Proximitor®. This probe replaces both the standard probe and extension cable in a 5-meter loop. Do not use an additional extension cable unless you are using a 9.0-meter system Proximitor®.

Q: What is the benefit of the "00" unthreaded length?

A: The "00" option means the probe body is threaded along its entire length. This allows the probe to screw completely through mounting brackets of varying thicknesses, ensuring you can always achieve the proper gap between the probe tip and the shaft.

Q: How does the connector protector improve reliability?

A: In oily turbine environments, fluid can seep into standard coaxial connectors, bridging the signal. The protector creates a physical barrier that keeps the gold-plated ClickLoc™ surfaces dry and clean, ensuring a stable 200 mV/mil output.
