Bently Nevada 330104-00-13-10-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Product Overview

When unplanned downtime threatens production targets, the Bently Nevada 330104-00-13-10-02-00 provides precise vibration and position measurements for critical rotating equipment. This 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe delivers reliable performance in harsh industrial environments, helping maintenance teams detect early signs of bearing wear, shaft misalignment, and imbalance before they escalate into costly failures.

Manufactured in the U.S.A., the 330104-00-13-10-02-00 features a robust design with a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) probe tip and an AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel case. The M10 x 1 thread and armor construction ensure secure installation and long-term durability in demanding applications such as turbines, compressors, and pumps.

Technical Specifications

The 330104-00-13-10-02-00 operates as part of a complete 3300 XL 8 mm transducer system. Key parameters include:

Probe Length: 1.0 meter (3.3 feet) with a nominal DC resistance of 7.59 ± 0.50 Ω from center conductor to outer conductor.

Unthreaded Length: 00 mm, with an overall case length of 130 mm.

Connector: Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with connector protector and standard cable.

Power Requirements: The system requires -17.5 Vdc to -26 Vdc when installed with a non-incendive circuit at 12 mA maximum consumption.

Output Resistance: 50 Ω, ensuring stable signal transmission to monitoring equipment.

These specifications ensure accurate and repeatable measurements for shaft relative vibration and position monitoring.

Industry Applications

The 330104-00-13-10-02-00 is designed for continuous monitoring of rotating machinery in industries such as oil and gas, power generation, petrochemical, and pulp and paper. Common applications include:

Turbines: Detecting shaft vibration and thrust position in steam and gas turbines to prevent catastrophic failures.

Compressors: Monitoring bearing clearance and rotor stability in centrifugal and axial compressors.

Pumps: Identifying imbalance and misalignment in large process pumps to extend service life.

By integrating this probe into a condition-based maintenance program, facilities can reduce unplanned downtime and optimize repair schedules.

Installation Guidance

Proper mounting is critical for accurate measurements. The 330104-00-13-10-02-00 uses an M10 x 1 threaded mounting hole. Ensure the target surface is clean and made of AISI 4140 steel for system accuracy. The probe should be gapped at 1.27 mm (50 mils) during initial setup. Use the miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector to secure the extension cable, and verify that the connector protector is in place to prevent damage. For hazardous area installations, follow the non-incendive circuit requirements per drawing 140979.

Maintenance and Reliability

The 3300 XL 8 mm probe is designed for long-term reliability with minimal maintenance. The Viton® O-ring seal prevents moisture and contaminants from entering the probe assembly. Periodically inspect the probe tip for wear or contamination, and verify cable integrity. The stainless steel case resists corrosion in harsh environments. Regular calibration checks against a known target ensure continued accuracy.

Selection Advice

When purchasing the 330104-00-13-10-02-00, confirm that your monitoring system is compatible with 3300 XL 8 mm components. The probe requires a matching 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor and extension cable. Verify the total length option (1.0 meter) meets your installation requirements.
