Bently Nevada 330101-00-18-10-02-00 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probe

Product Overview

The 330101-00-18-10-02-00 serves as a high-precision transducer within the Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximity Transducer System. This 100% Brand New original 8mm probe utilizes eddy-current technology to provide non-contact measurement of radial vibration, axial thrust, and shaft position. Engineered for rotating machinery with fluid-film bearings, this probe also functions as a reliable Keyphasor reference for phase and speed monitoring. It delivers exceptional signal linearity and stability, ensuring the control system receives accurate data for machine protection and diagnostics in power plants and refineries.

Technical Specifications

The 330101-00-18-10-02-00 meets the rigorous standards of the 3300 XL system for repeatability and interchangeability.

Engineering Advantages

• High-Speed Keyphasor Precision: The probe tracks shaft speed and phase reference with high surgical accuracy. This capability allows the vibration monitoring system to perform synchronized data sampling, which is critical for identifying rotor unbalance and other frequency-dependent machinery faults.

• Advanced ClickLoc Connection: The ClickLoc miniature coaxial connector features a robust mechanical lock. This design prevents unintentional disconnection due to high-frequency machinery vibration, maintaining signal continuity in harsh industrial environments.

• Superior Thermal Stability: The 3300 XL 8mm probe minimizes temperature-induced drift. This ensures the sensor maintains a consistent scale factor and electrical gap setting even when operating within the high-temperature enclosures of steam turbines or gas compressors.

• Universal System Interchangeability: This probe maintains full compatibility with all standard 3300 XL Proximitors and extension cables. Technicians can replace probes without re-calibrating the entire system, significantly reducing maintenance downtime and inventory complexity.

FAQs

• Is this 330101-00-18-10-02-00 probe a brand-new unit?

  Yes. We provide this probe as 100% Brand New original Bently Nevada factory stock. Each unit arrives in its original protective packaging to ensure it meets factory calibration and performance standards.

• Can I use this probe without an extension cable?

  No. This 1.0-meter probe requires a 4.0-meter or 8.0-meter extension cable to reach the total system length (typically 5 or 9 meters) required by your 3300 XL Proximitor. Always match the total length to the Proximitor’s specific calibration.

• What are the benefits of the "No Armor" cable option?

  The unarmored cable offers greater flexibility in tight conduit runs or internal bearing housing installations. Use the unarmored version when the installation environment provides external protection or where space constraints prevent the use of bulky stainless steel armor.

• How do I ensure the correct gap setting during installation?

  Utilize the 3/8-24 UNF threading to adjust the probe position. We recommend using a digital voltmeter to monitor the DC gap voltage at the Proximitor output; typically, a -10.0 VDC output signifies the center of the linear range for a standard 3300 XL system.
