Bently Nevada 330104-00-13-05-02-CN 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Product Introduction

When you need reliable shaft displacement and vibration monitoring in rotating machinery, the Bently Nevada 330104-00-13-05-02-CN delivers. This 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe is designed for non-contact measurement, providing accurate data for critical asset protection. Part of the proven 3300 XL series, it offers robust performance in demanding industrial environments.

Technical Specifications Breakdown

The 330104-00-13-05-02-CN features a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) probe tip for durability and chemical resistance. Its case is made from AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel, ensuring strength and corrosion resistance. The probe uses an M10 x 1 thread and includes armor for added protection. With an unthreaded length of 0 mm and an overall case length of 130 mm, it fits specific mounting requirements. The total length option is 0.5 meter (1.6 feet), and it uses a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with standard cable. The agency approval option is country-specific (CN).

Industry Applications

This proximity probe excels in turbomachinery, compressors, pumps, and other rotating equipment. For example, in a steam turbine train, the 330104-00-13-05-02-CN monitors shaft vibration and position, feeding data to a Bently Nevada monitoring system. Its robust construction and sealed design help maintain accuracy even in harsh conditions, reducing unplanned downtime.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Install the probe with the M10 x 1 thread into a properly tapped hole. Ensure the probe tip gap is set per the manufacturer's guidelines for optimal linear range. The ClickLoc connector simplifies cable attachment and provides a secure connection. Verify the system uses a -24 Vdc power supply and a 10 kΩ load for standard performance. Always follow the provided installation drawing for non-incendive circuit connections.

Maintenance & Reliability

Inspect the probe tip and cable periodically for wear or damage. The PPS tip resists many chemicals, but avoid abrasive contact. The stainless steel case withstands typical industrial environments. Regular calibration checks with an AISI 4140 steel target ensure measurement accuracy. This proactive approach extends sensor life and maintains system reliability.

Compatibility & Integration

The 330104-00-13-05-02-CN works with 3300-series 5 mm and 3300 XL 8 mm extension cables and Proximitor sensors. It integrates seamlessly into Bently Nevada monitoring systems. For best performance, use only 3300 XL 8 mm components in the measurement chain.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

Before ordering, verify your required cable length, connector type, and agency approvals. The 330104-00-13-05-02-CN includes a 0.5 meter cable with ClickLoc connector and CN-specific approval.
