Bently Nevada 146054-08-05-00-05 3300 Ceramic Capped Proximity Probe

Product Introduction

When reliable vibration monitoring is critical for rotating machinery protection, the Bently Nevada 146054-08-05-00-05 3300 Ceramic Capped Proximity Probe delivers precise displacement measurements. This probe is part of the 3300 series, designed for use with 3300 XL Proximitor sensors and extension cables to form a complete 5 mm system. It features a 3/8-24 UNF thread, a 0.8-inch overall case length, and a 0.5-meter cable without a connector. The ceramic tip provides excellent wear resistance in harsh environments.

Industry Applications

The 146054-08-05-00-05 is ideal for vibration monitoring in turbines, compressors, pumps, and motors. Its ceramic tip and stainless steel case withstand high temperatures and corrosive environments. The CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals make it suitable for hazardous area installations in oil and gas, petrochemical, and power generation facilities.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Install the probe with proper thread engagement (max 0.563 in) to avoid mechanical interference. Use a 3/8-24 UNF mounting hole. Connect to a 3300 XL Proximitor sensor via extension cable (not included). Ensure the target is AISI 4140 steel for accurate calibration. The linear range is 1.52 mm (60 mils), starting at 0.25 mm from the target.

Maintenance & Reliability

Inspect the probe cable and connector periodically for damage. The ceramic tip resists wear, but verify the target surface condition. The probe operates from -51°C to +177°C, suitable for demanding environments. Regular calibration checks with a 3300 XL system ensure measurement accuracy.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

When ordering, confirm the total length (0.5 m for this variant) and connector type (none). For systems requiring a connector, choose a different -C option. BluePLC Industrial supplies this probe new in factory packing with a 12-month warranty. Verify lifecycle status before ordering.
