Bently Nevada 330104-00-15-10-02-CN 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Product Overview

When unplanned downtime strikes rotating machinery, the Bently Nevada 330104-00-15-10-02-CN 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe delivers precise vibration and position measurements. This probe uses a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip and AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel case for durability. The M10 x 1 thread with armor protects the probe in harsh environments. With a 1.0 meter miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector cable, installation is straightforward. Choosing this probe reduces maintenance costs by catching faults early.

Technical Specifications

The 330104-00-15-10-02-CN operates with a -17.5 Vdc to -26 Vdc power supply and draws 12 mA maximum. Its output resistance is 50 Ω, and sensitivity is less than 2 mV change per volt change in input voltage. The nominal probe DC resistance (RPROBE) for a 1.0 meter probe is 7.59 ± 0.50 Ω. These specs ensure accurate readings, minimizing false alarms and repair expenses.

Industry Applications

In turbine and compressor monitoring, the 330104-00-15-10-02-CN detects shaft vibration and thrust position. For example, a petrochemical plant using this probe can reduce unplanned outages by 20%. The probe seals differential pressure between tip and case with a Viton O-ring, preventing contamination. This reliability lowers total cost of ownership compared to less robust sensors.

Installation Guide

Mount the 330104-00-15-10-02-CN with the M10 x 1 thread into a standard mounting hole. Use the armor to protect the cable in high-wear areas. Gap the probe at 1.27 mm (50 mils) for optimal performance. Connect the miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector to a 3300 XL Proximitor sensor. Proper installation ensures long service life and reduces replacement costs.

Maintenance & Reliability

Inspect the probe tip and cable periodically for wear. The PPS tip resists chemicals and abrasion, extending service intervals. The stainless steel case withstands corrosion in humid environments. Regular checks prevent unexpected failures, saving on emergency repairs. This proactive approach aligns with cost-benefit goals by reducing downtime.

Buying Guide

Before ordering the 330104-00-15-10-02-CN, verify your system uses 3300 XL 8 mm components. This probe works with 3300-series 5 mm and 8 mm probes and extension cables.
