Bently Nevada 330101-00-36-10-02-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Description

The Bently Nevada 330101-00-36-10-02-05 is a 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe designed for high-precision, non-contact vibration and position monitoring in industrial rotating machinery. This transducer system provides an output voltage directly proportional to the distance between the probe tip and the observed conductive surface, enabling the measurement of both static (position) and dynamic (vibration) values. It is a core component of eddy current proximity transducer systems, widely used for fluid-film bearing machines, Keyphasor reference, and speed measurements.

Features

• 8 mm probe tip diameter with 3/8-24 UNF threads.
• Standard cable configuration with miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector.
• Fully compliant with API 670 standards for linear range, accuracy, and temperature stability.
• Complete interchangeability of probes, extension cables, and Proximitor sensors, eliminating the need for individual component matching or bench calibration.
• Hazardous area approvals including CSA, ATEX, and IECEx.

Applications

• Centrifugal air compressors and process gas compressors.
• Turbo expanders and refrigeration compressors.
• Electric motors and generators with fluid-film bearings.
• Centrifugal and positive displacement pumps.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Hole Preparation: Use a 0.332 inch drill size and a Q tap drill size for the 3/8-24 UNF threads.
• Mounting: Thread the probe into the machine case or adapter. Ensure maximum thread engagement does not exceed 0.562 inches to prevent bottoming out.
• Tightening Torque: Apply 11.3 N-m (100 in-lb) to the probe case.
• Gapping: For standard AISI 4140 steel targets, set the gap to 1.27 mm (50 mils) to maintain the center of the linear range.
• Handling: The probe tip is constructed of Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS). Avoid exposure to solutions with extreme pH values to prevent potential media leakage.

FAQ

What is the 330101-00-36-10-02-05?

It is a 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probe with a 1.0-meter system length, designed for non-contact vibration and position monitoring in demanding industrial environments.

Is this probe interchangeable with older systems?

Yes, 3300 XL 8 mm components are electrically and physically interchangeable with older 3300 5 mm and 8 mm components. Note that mixing XL and non-XL parts limits the system performance to the lower specifications of the non-XL components.

Does this model require an extension cable?

No, this specific configuration (1.0-meter system length) is designed to connect directly to the Proximitor sensor without an intermediate extension cable.
