Engineering Advantages

• Integrated Mechanical Armor: The stainless steel armor shields the internal coaxial cable from abrasion, crushing, and accidental cutting during routine maintenance. This ensures signal integrity in high-traffic areas where standard cables often suffer terminal damage.

• Global Hazardous Area Compliance: The "-05" approval option carries CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications. This multi-certification facilitates international project deployment and ensures the probe meets stringent safety requirements for explosive atmospheres.

• High-Stability PPS Tip: The Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip material resists chemical attack from hot turbine oils and synthetic lubricants. It maintains dimensional stability under extreme temperatures, ensuring the scale factor remains constant throughout the machine's thermal cycle.

• ClickLoc™ Interconnect Security: The gold-plated ClickLoc™ connector employs a self-locking mechanism. It prevents the cable from backing out due to high-frequency machine vibration, maintaining a gas-tight, low-resistance electrical path.

• Metric Standard Integration: The M10 x 1 thread allows for direct installation into metric machinery without conversion adapters. The 60 mm case length provides ample adjustability for setting the probe gap in various bearing housing thicknesses.

FAQs

Q: Does this probe require a specific extension cable for a 5-meter system?

A: Yes. Since this probe has a 1.0-meter total length, you must pair it with a 4.0-meter 3300 XL Extension Cable to reach the standard 5.0-meter system length required by the Proximitor® sensor.

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

A: The "00" option provides threads along the entire 60 mm case. This allows you to adjust the probe's depth precisely through the mounting bracket to achieve the required DC gap voltage (typically -10 VDC).

Q: Is the probe tip resistant to high pressure?

A: Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm probes seal differential pressure between the tip and the case. However, standard probes are not pressure tested prior to shipment. If your application involves high-pressure submersion, please consult our technical team for custom-tested options.
