Quick Detail

Description

The 330102-00-16-10-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probes represent a pinnacle in transducer engineering, specifically designed to overcome the mechanical limitations of previous sensing generations. As a core component of the 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probes series, the 330101-00-16-10-02-00 integrates advanced manufacturing techniques to ensure maximum uptime for critical rotating machinery. One of the primary innovations within the 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probes ecosystem is the patented TipLoc molding method. This specialized process creates an exceptionally robust bond between the polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) probe tip and the stainless steel case. In high-pressure or high-flow environments, where traditional tips might shear or delaminate, the 330101-00-16-10-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probes maintain structural integrity, preventing catastrophic debris from entering the machine.

Furthermore, the cable assembly of the 330101-00-16-10-02-00 is reinforced using the patented CableLoc design. This enhancement provides the 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probes with a superior pull strength of 330 N (75 lbf). By more securely anchoring the cable to the probe internal structure, the 330101-00-16-10-02-00 eliminates the common failure point where cables pull away from the sensor head during installation or under extreme vibration. For applications involving pressurized oil or harsh process fluids, these 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probes can be ordered with an optional FluidLoc cable. This feature acts as a secondary seal, preventing oil and other lubricants from leaking through the cable's interior, which is vital for maintaining the environmental rating of the machine housing and junction boxes.

The 330101-00-16-10-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probes are also fully compatible with the standard ClickLoc connector system, ensuring a vibration-proof electrical path. As a highly standardized product, every 330101-00-16-10-02-00 probe is part of a "plug-and-play" system that supports complete interchangeability between cables and Proximitor sensors.

Applications

1.Precision Radial Vibration Monitoring

The primary application for the 330102-00-16-10-02-00 is the continuous measurement of radial vibration in high-speed rotating equipment. It is typically mounted on fluid-film bearing machines, such as centrifugal compressors, pumps, and electric motors. With a 2 mm (80 mils) linear range and high noise immunity (low supply sensitivity), it accurately tracks shaft dynamic motion, allowing operators to detect imbalances, misalignments, or bearing instabilities before they lead to failure.

2.Axial Thrust Position Sensing

This probe is essential for monitoring the axial (thrust) position of a shaft. By measuring the DC gap between the probe tip and the shaft collar or face, the 330102-00-16-10-02-00 ensures the rotor remains within safe longitudinal limits. This prevents catastrophic "metal-to-metal" contact between rotating and stationary components. Its compact 1.6-inch overall case length makes it suitable for tight mounting locations within thrust bearing housings.

3.Extreme Thermal Environment Protection

Designed for thermal resilience, this probe operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -50°C to +175°C. This makes the 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probes ideal for applications near steam turbine seals or in cryogenic pumping systems. The Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip and Stainless Steel (AISI 303/304) case ensure the sensor maintains its calibration even under intense thermal cycling and exposure to hot industrial lubricants.

Specifications

Competitive Advantage

1.Exceptional Thermal Stability and Resilience

With an expansive operating temperature range from -50°C to +175°C, this probe outperforms generic displacement sensors that often suffer from signal drift in extreme heat or cold. This thermal stability ensures that the 2 mm (80 mils) linear range remains accurate whether the machine is at a cold standstill or reaching peak operational temperatures in a steam turbine environment.

2.Advanced Signal Precision and Noise Immunity

The 330102-00-16-10-02-00 is designed with a low 45 Ω output resistance and a superior supply sensitivity of less than 2 mV change per volt of input fluctuation. This technical precision provides world-class immunity to electrical noise and power supply variations. By delivering a cleaner, more stable signal to the monitoring system, it significantly reduces the likelihood of false alarms and ensures high-fidelity data for predictive maintenance.

3.Patented ClickLoc Connection Security

This model utilizes the Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector, a significant mechanical advantage over traditional threaded connectors. The ClickLoc system provides a secure, vibration-resistant "click" that confirms a solid electrical connection. This prevents the signal loss or intermittent data common in high-vibration machinery and eliminates the need for specialized tools or lock-wiring during field installation.

4.Ruggedized Material Construction

The combination of a Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) probe tip and an AISI 303/304 stainless steel (SST) case provides the probe with superior resistance to chemical erosion and physical wear. This robust construction is essential for sensors exposed to corrosive industrial lubricants, high-pressure moisture, and synthetic process fluids, ensuring a longer service life compared to standard plastic-tipped probes.

5.Optimized "Plug-and-Play" Interchangeability

A major economic and operational advantage is the complete interchangeability of the 3300 XL 8 mm system components. The 330102-00-16-10-02-00 can be replaced in the field without the need for time-consuming bench calibration or matching specific sets of probes and Proximitor sensors. This standardization reduces spare parts inventory costs and drastically cuts down on maintenance labor hours.
