330104-00-14-05-02-00 | Bently Nevada | 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330104-00-14-05-02-00 tracking sensor forms the mechanical backbone of the 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System. This high-precision eddy current probe tracks fluid-film bearing clearances, dynamic shaft vibration, and axial displacement in critical rotating machinery such as steam turbines, centrifugal compressors, and large induction motors. It feeds real-time voltage signals to machinery protection monitors to prevent catastrophic equipment damage. We supply this premium industrial component in 100% brand new, original factory-sealed condition to guarantee original calibration curves and maximum operational readiness.

Part Number Breakdown

The model number 330104-00-14-05-02-00 follows the modular engineering matrix established by Bently Nevada for the 3300 XL product family:

Technical Specifications

This specific configuration provides rugged mechanical armor protection along the cable length to withstand harsh industrial routing.

• Thread Specification: M10 x 1 metric thread

• Mechanical Armor: Integrated stainless steel protective armor sleeve

• Unthreaded Length: 0 mm

• Overall Case Length: 140 mm

• Total Cable Length: 0.5 meter (1.6 feet)

• Connection Interface: Gold-plated miniature coaxial ClickLoc™ connector

• Net Weight: 0.323 Kg

• Country of Origin: Made in U.S.A.

Engineering Advantages

• Armored Protection Against Mechanical Cutting: The flexible metal armor prevents crimping, stretching, and accidental slicing when field technicians pull cables through tight cable trays, conduit bends, or past sharp metal structural edges.

• Aggressive Fluid Resisting Tip: The polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip material resists corrosive chemical attack, high-pressure moisture ingress, and degradation from synthetic turbine oils and hydrocarbon-based lubricants.

• Positive-Locking Signal Continuity: The patented ClickLoc™ connector mechanism eliminates signal drift caused by intermittent electrical connections. It locks securely without specialty tools and resists constant high-frequency machine frame vibration.

• Deep Case Penetration: The 140 mm overall case length allows the probe to pass completely through thick outer machine skins or deep internal bearing housings, locating the sensing tip at the optimal target gap.

FAQs

• What purpose does the 0 mm unthreaded option serve during installation?

  The 0 mm unthreaded option means threads run across the entire length of the 140 mm casing. This provides maximum structural rigidity when mounting the probe into thin internal brackets or tapped casings, as it eliminates unthreaded shafts that can flex or vibrate during high-velocity machine operation.

• Can I connect this 0.5-meter armored probe directly to a 3300 XL Proximitor sensor?

  No, you cannot connect it directly. The 3300 XL Proximitor sensor requires a specific total system length, typically 5.0 meters or 9.0 meters. Because this probe features a 0.5-meter integrated cable length, you must insert a 4.5-meter or 8.5-meter armored extension cable between this probe and the Proximitor sensor to complete the tuned circuit.

• What mounting torque prevents thread damage during installation?

  Tighten the M10 x 1 threaded probe body using a calibrated torque wrench up to a maximum limit of 4.5 N·m (40 in·lb). Over-tightening the casing stretches the stainless steel shell and fractures the delicate internal coil winding wires, instantly destroying the sensor.
