Bently Nevada 330104-00-18-10-02-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Product Introduction

When unplanned downtime threatens production targets, the Bently Nevada 330104-00-18-10-02-05 provides reliable vibration and position measurement for critical rotating machinery. This 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe delivers precise gap measurements in harsh industrial environments. Manufactured in the U.S.A., it features a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) probe tip and AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel case for durability.

Technical Specifications Breakdown

The 330104-00-18-10-02-05 offers a 1.0 meter (3.3 feet) total length with an 180 mm overall case length. It uses an M10 x 1 thread and includes armor for added protection. The probe connects via a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with standard cable. Agency approvals include CSA, ATEX, and IECEx, ensuring compliance with international safety standards.

This model operates with a -17.5 Vdc to -26 Vdc power supply at 12 mA maximum consumption. Output resistance is 50 Ω, and nominal probe DC resistance measures 7.59 ± 0.50 Ω for a 1.0 meter probe length. Sensitivity remains below 2 mV change per volt change in input voltage.

Industry Applications

Industries rely on the 330104-00-18-10-02-05 for monitoring turbines, compressors, pumps, and fans. Its robust design withstands high-pressure environments, sealing differential pressure between the probe tip and case with a Viton O-ring. Compared to standard proximity probes, this model offers enhanced durability and certified safety for hazardous areas.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Install the probe with proper gap settings using an AISI 4140 steel target for calibration. Ensure the non-incendive circuit connects per installation drawing 140979. Verify power supply voltage remains within -17.5 Vdc to -26 Vdc for optimal performance. Operation at voltages more positive than -23.5 Vdc may reduce linear range.

Maintenance & Reliability

Periodically inspect the probe tip and cable for wear or damage. The PPS tip resists chemical attack, while the stainless steel case prevents corrosion. Regular calibration checks against the AISI 4140 target maintain system accuracy. Following manufacturer guidelines extends service life and reduces total cost of ownership.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

Before ordering, confirm the required probe length, connector type, and agency approvals. The 330104-00-18-10-02-05 includes a 1.0 meter cable with ClickLoc connector and CSA/ATEX/IECEx certifications.
