Bently Nevada 330101-00-24-05-02-05 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probe

Product Overview

The 330101-00-24-05-02-05 represents the gold standard in eddy-current proximity sensing within the Bently Nevada 3300 XL ecosystem. This 100% Brand New original 8mm probe provides non-contact measurement of radial vibration and axial position on high-speed rotating machinery. Engineered for fluid-film bearing machines, it captures shaft dynamic movement with sub-mil precision. This specific configuration features a 2.4-inch case length and a short 0.5-meter integral cable, making it the primary choice for internal bearing housing installations where space and cable routing require a compact footprint.

Part Number Breakdown

The Bently Nevada 330101 system utilizes a modular part number to define mechanical and electrical hardware specifications.

• 330101: 3300 XL 8mm Probe (3/8-24 UNF thread)

• -00: Unthreaded Length (0.0 inches)

• -24: Overall Case Length (2.4 inches)

• -05: Total Length (0.5 meter / 1.6 feet)

• -02: Connector and Cable Option (Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector, standard cable)

• -05: Agency Approval Option (Multiple approvals: CSA, ATEX, IECEx)

Technical Specifications

The 330101-00-24-05-02-05 maintains tight electrical tolerances for seamless interchangeability without recalibration.

Engineering Advantages

• Compact Internal Routing: The 0.5-meter (1.6 feet) total length allows for clean cable management inside bearing housings. This short integral cable eliminates excess wire bulk, reducing the risk of cable snagging or vibration-induced wear within the machine casing.

• Extreme Thermal Resilience: This probe withstands temperatures ranging from -52°C to +177°C as standard. For critical steam turbine applications, the probe tip sustains performance up to +218°C, ensuring the sensor provides reliable gap data in the hottest zones of the machine.

• Global Hazardous Area Compliance: With CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications (Option -05), the probe facilitates direct installation in explosive atmospheres. This compliance simplifies regulatory documentation for international projects in the oil, gas, and petrochemical sectors.

• Precision ClickLoc Connection: The miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector ensures a positive mechanical link. This design prevents signal loss caused by high-frequency machinery vibration, a common failure point in standard friction-fit connectors.

FAQs

• Is this 330101-00-24-05-02-05 probe a brand-new original unit?

  Yes. We supply this probe as a 100% Brand New original Bently Nevada factory component. It arrives in original protective packaging to ensure the 8mm tip and ClickLoc connector remain in pristine condition.

• What extension cable do I need for a 0.5-meter probe?

  To achieve a standard 5.0-meter system length, you must pair this 0.5-meter probe with a 4.5-meter 3300 XL extension cable. Always verify that the total system length (Probe + Extension) matches the calibration of your Proximitor.

• Can I install this probe in a wet oil environment?

  The 3300 XL probe utilizes 303 stainless steel and high-performance polymers. It resists the corrosive effects of most industrial lubricating oils and moisture, allowing for direct submersion or splash contact within bearing pedestals.

• How do I verify the linear range after installation?

  Connect the probe to a 3300 XL Proximitor and monitor the DC Output voltage. For a standard -24V system, adjust the mechanical gap until the voltage reads approximately -10.0 VDC, which typically indicates the center of the 80-mil (2.0 mm) linear range.
