Bently Nevada 330104-00-22-10-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Product Introduction

When machinery vibration threatens production uptime, the Bently Nevada 330104-00-22-10-02-00 provides reliable, non-contact displacement measurement. This 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe is engineered for continuous monitoring of rotating equipment such as turbines, compressors, and pumps. With its robust design and precise construction, it delivers accurate data for predictive maintenance and asset protection.

Technical Specifications Breakdown

The 330104-00-22-10-02-00 features a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) probe tip and an AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel case, ensuring durability in harsh industrial environments. The probe uses an M10 x 1 thread with armor for enhanced mechanical protection. Its overall case length is 220 mm, and the total length option is 1.0 meter (3.3 feet), terminated with a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector and standard cable. The probe is designed to seal differential pressure between the tip and case using a Viton O-ring, maintaining integrity under varying conditions. Electrical specifications include acceptance of a 3300-series 5 mm or 8 mm probe and extension cable, requiring -17.5 Vdc to -26 Vdc power supply with a maximum consumption of 12 mA. The nominal probe DC resistance from center conductor to outer conductor for a 0.5 m probe is 7.45 ± 0.50 ohms.

Industry Applications

This proximity probe excels in critical rotating machinery monitoring. In steam turbine trains, it measures shaft vibration and position, helping operators detect early signs of imbalance or misalignment. For centrifugal compressors in gas processing plants, the 330104-00-22-10-02-00 provides continuous radial vibration data, enabling condition-based maintenance and reducing unplanned downtime. Its PPS tip and stainless steel case withstand oil mist and moderate temperatures common in these environments.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Proper installation is essential for accurate readings. Mount the probe using the M10 x 1 threaded hole, ensuring the tip is gapped at 1.27 mm (50 mils) from the target surface. Use the miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector for secure cable attachment. Verify the power supply meets -17.5 Vdc to -26 Vdc requirements and that the load is 10 kΩ. Calibrate the system with an AISI 4140 steel target to achieve specified accuracy and interchangeability.

Maintenance & Reliability

Routine inspection of the probe tip and cable for physical damage helps maintain reliability. Check the Viton O-ring seal periodically to ensure differential pressure integrity. The stainless steel case resists corrosion, but verify that the mounting area remains clean and free of debris. Following manufacturer guidelines for periodic testing ensures long service life and consistent performance.

Buying Guide

Before purchasing the 330104-00-22-10-02-00, confirm compatibility with your existing Bently Nevada 3300 XL system components. Verify the required thread size, cable length, and connector type.
