Bently Nevada 330171-00-16-90-01-05 3300 5 mm Proximity Probe

Applications

• Installed on steam turbine bearing housings for continuous shaft vibration and position measurement

• Used in centrifugal compressor trains where probe location is fixed but monitoring cabinet is installed at a distance

• Applied in gearbox assemblies for tracking shaft movement and detecting early mechanical looseness

• Used in pump systems where vibration feedback is required for long-term condition monitoring

• Used in rotating equipment protection systems where signal stability over long cable runs is required

Key Advantages

• 9-meter integrated cable reduces the need for intermediate junctions and field splicing

• Eddy current measurement provides stable and repeatable shaft vibration readings

• Suitable for installations where mechanical layout forces long-distance signal routing

• Shielded cable construction helps maintain signal integrity in electrically noisy environments

• Direct compatibility with Bently Nevada 3300 system architecture

• Factory-terminated design improves installation consistency compared to field-extended wiring

Technical FAQs

Q1: What is this probe used for?
It is used to measure shaft vibration and displacement in rotating machinery.

Q2: Why is a 9-meter cable used?
It is used when the probe location is far from the monitoring system and direct long routing is required.

Q3: Is it compatible with 3300 systems?
Yes, it is designed for the Bently Nevada 3300 proximity monitoring system.

Q4: Can it be used on turbines and compressors?
Yes, it is commonly used in both types of equipment.

Q5: Does long cable length affect measurement performance?
It is designed to maintain stable signal transmission over the full length.

Q6: Does it require external power?
Yes, it works with a compatible proximitor system.

Q7: Does it measure vibration or displacement?
It measures both shaft vibration and static position.

Q8: Is calibration required after installation?
No field calibration is normally required if installed correctly.

Q9: What is the main limitation?
It has less installation flexibility compared to modular probe + extension cable setups.

Q10: Is it suitable for harsh environments?
Yes, it is designed for industrial vibration and EMI conditions.
