This metric-threaded probe utilizes non-contact eddy current technology to monitor radial vibration and axial position on critical rotating machinery. Featuring an integrated 2.0-meter armored cable and a specialized connector protector, it ensures signal integrity in the most demanding industrial environments. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New original hardware, guaranteeing factory-certified linear performance for your machinery protection loops.

Part Number Breakdown

The 330104 series uses a modular nomenclature to define precise mechanical and protective configurations:

Technical Specifications

The 330104-00-06-20-01-00 provides stable sensing performance under extreme field conditions:

• Sensing Technology: Non-contacting Eddy Current

• Probe Tip Diameter: 8.0 mm

• Nominal Scale Factor: 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil)

• Armor Material: Flexible Stainless Steel (SST)

• Cable Type: 75 $\Omega$ coaxial (Standard)

• Thread Specification: M10 x 1 (Armored)

• Operating Temperature: -51 °C to +177 °C (-60 °F to +351 °F)

Engineering Advantages

• Comprehensive Mechanical Armor: Flexible stainless steel armor encases the entire 2.0-meter cable length. This shields the sensitive coaxial core from physical crushing, sharp edges, and abrasive wear during routine machinery maintenance or installation.

• Connector Protector Integration: The "Option 01" configuration includes a factory-installed connector protector. This component prevents moisture, oil, and conductive debris from contaminating the ClickLoc™ interface, which eliminates signal "drifts" and false vibration trips.

• Extended 2.0m Lead: The 2.0-meter total length provides a longer reach from the mounting point to the junction box. This extra length simplifies cable routing in large turbomachinery and reduces the mechanical stress on connection points.

• ClickLoc™ Interconnect Security: The gold-plated ClickLoc™ connector employs a self-locking mechanism. It maintains a gas-tight, low-resistance electrical path even under high-frequency machine vibration, ensuring consistent data transmission.

• Fully Threaded "00" Option: Threads run along the entire 60 mm case length. This design grants maximum gapping flexibility, allowing engineers to set the probe at the precise electrical center for an optimal linear response regardless of mounting bracket thickness.

FAQs

Q: Does this 2.0-meter probe require a specific extension cable?

A: Yes. You must pair this probe with a 3300 XL Extension Cable. For a 5.0-meter system, use a 3.0-meter extension; for a 9.0-meter system, use a 7.0-meter extension. The total length must match the Proximitor® sensor's calibration.

Q: Can I install this probe in metric machinery without adapters?

A: Absolutely. The M10 x 1 thread conforms to standard metric specifications, allowing direct installation into most European and Asian machinery bearing housings.

Q: What is the primary benefit of the connector protector?

A: In oily or humid turbine decks, contaminants often bridge the coaxial signal at the connector. The protector acts as a physical barrier, keeping the gold-plated surfaces dry and clean to prevent signal degradation.

Q: Is the probe tip resistant to high-temperature turbine oil?

A: Yes. The Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip material resists chemical attack from hot lubricants and synthetic fluids, ensuring long-term durability inside the bearing housing.
