Bently Nevada 330102-00-12-10-01-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Applications

• Rotating Machinery Monitoring: Used in monitoring arrangements for equipment such as turbines, compressors, pumps, and other rotating machinery when configured for the applicable system.

• Shaft Vibration Measurement: Supports non-contact measurement of shaft movement when installed as part of a compatible proximity measurement system.

• Industrial Condition Monitoring: Provides measurement input for machinery protection and diagnostic systems.

• Predictive Maintenance: Helps maintenance personnel monitor machinery behavior and identify changes that may indicate developing mechanical issues.

• Critical Equipment Protection: Can be used in suitable monitoring installations where shaft displacement and vibration measurements contribute to equipment protection decisions.

Advantages

• Non-Contact Measurement: Proximity probe technology measures shaft movement without requiring physical contact with the rotating surface.

• Compact Probe Design: The 8 mm probe format is intended for installations designed around the corresponding probe dimensions and mounting requirements.

• Continuous Monitoring Capability: When integrated with compatible monitoring electronics, the probe can support ongoing machinery condition measurement.

• Industrial Monitoring Applications: Suitable for consideration in machinery monitoring systems where the specified probe configuration matches the installation requirements.

• Defined Cable Length: The supplied total length is 1 meter, which should be considered when planning probe routing and connection to the associated system.

Technical FAQs

Q1: What is the Bently Nevada 330102-00-12-10-01-05?

A: It is identified as a Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe used in compatible industrial machinery monitoring arrangements.

Q2: What does an 8 mm proximity probe do?

A: It uses non-contact sensing technology to measure the distance between the probe tip and a suitable target surface, typically a rotating shaft.

Q3: Can this probe measure shaft vibration?

A: It can be used in a properly configured proximity measurement system to monitor relative shaft movement. The complete measurement arrangement must match the equipment and monitoring requirements.

Q4: Does the probe operate independently?

A: No. A proximity probe generally requires compatible extension cabling and signal-conditioning or monitoring electronics to provide a usable measurement signal.

Q5: What is the total length of this model?

A: The supplied specification lists a total length of 1 meter. Confirm the exact configuration and measurement convention against the product label or technical documentation before installation.

Q6: What types of equipment can use proximity probes?

A: Typical applications include turbines, compressors, pumps, and other rotating machinery where shaft displacement or vibration monitoring is required.

Q7: Is this probe suitable for every 3300 XL monitoring installation?

A: Not automatically. Probe thread, cable configuration, electrical characteristics, mounting arrangement, and compatibility with the associated monitoring electronics should all be verified.

Q8: What should be checked before replacing an existing probe?

A: Check the complete part number, probe dimensions, cable length, connector and thread configuration, target material, and compatibility with the existing monitoring system.

Q9: Can this probe be used for predictive maintenance?

A: Yes, when installed in a suitable monitoring system, its measurements can contribute to trend analysis and condition-based maintenance decisions.

Q10: What installation precautions are important?

A: Follow the equipment manufacturer's installation instructions, maintain the specified probe-to-target gap, route cables appropriately, and verify the measurement system after installation.
