Quick Detail

Description

The 330101-00-16-05-02-05 is a high-precision eddy current sensor within the renowned 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probes series by Bently Nevada. This specific model is engineered with a 1.6-inch overall case length and a 0-inch unthreaded length, making it a specialized solution for flush-mount installations in space-constrained industrial machinery. As a core component of the 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probes system, it provides an output voltage directly proportional to the distance between the probe tip and a conductive target, enabling the accurate monitoring of dynamic vibration and static shaft position.

Designed for maximum durability in extreme environments, the 330101-00-16-05-02-05 incorporates the patented TipLoc molding method, which creates an inseparable bond between the Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) probe tip and the AISI 304 stainless steel body. This ensures the 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probes remain reliable even when exposed to high-pressure lubricants and corrosive chemicals. Additionally, the CableLoc design provides a robust pull strength of 330 N (75 lbf), preventing accidental disconnection in high-vibration scenarios. With a 0.5-meter (1.6 feet) total length and a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector, this probe ensures high-fidelity signal transmission to the Proximitor sensor.

The 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probes are fully compliant with the API 670 standard, ensuring excellent temperature stability and a 2 mm (80 mils) linear range. Operating efficiently between -53°C and +165°C, the 330101-00-16-05-02-05 is ideal for monitoring steam turbines, centrifugal compressors, and power generation motors. Its global certifications, including CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals, allow for safe deployment in hazardous areas. By integrating these 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probes into your predictive maintenance strategy, you benefit from a system that offers complete interchangeability and superior resistance to electrical interference, ultimately reducing unplanned downtime and protecting your most critical industrial assets.

Applications

The 330101-00-16-05-02-05 is primarily utilized for Radial Vibration Monitoring in high-speed rotating equipment such as centrifugal compressors and industrial pumps. Its compact 1.6-inch case and 0-inch unthreaded length allow it to be installed directly into bearing housings where space is limited. By providing real-time data on shaft displacement, it enables the early detection of imbalance or bearing wear, ensuring the mechanical integrity of critical assets in refineries and power plants.

This probe is a vital tool for Axial Position (Thrust) Sensing in steam and gas turbines. It monitors the longitudinal "float" of the shaft to prevent catastrophic contact between rotating and stationary components. Thanks to its robust PPS tip and stainless steel construction, it can operate continuously in the hot, oily environments typical of thrust bearing housings, providing an essential safety interlock that meets the rigorous API 670 machinery protection standards.

It is also widely used as a Keyphasor Reference and Speed Sensor to provide timing signals for diagnostic analysis. By detecting a notch or protrusion on the rotating shaft, the 330101-00-16-05-02-05 generates a precise once-per-turn pulse. This data is critical for phase measurement, vector monitoring, and overspeed protection systems in complex machinery trains, helping operators perform accurate balancing and fault diagnosis under varying load conditions.

Specifications

Competitive Advantage

Global Safety Certifications for Hazardous Areas The 330101-00-16-05-02-05 holds comprehensive CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals, ensuring it meets the strictest international standards for explosion-proof and intrinsically safe operation. This allows for direct and compliant deployment in Zone 0, 1, and 2 environments where flammable gases or dust are present, significantly reducing project risk and regulatory compliance costs for global industrial operators.

Superior Mechanical Integrity and Longevity Featuring patented TipLoc and CableLoc technologies, this probe offers industry-leading durability. The TipLoc method ensures the probe tip cannot be dislodged under pressure, while the CableLoc design provides a 75 lbf pull strength to withstand physical stress. These features, combined with high-grade AISI 304 stainless steel housing, ensure a service life that exceeds standard sensors in harsh, high-vibration industrial settings.

Exceptional Thermal Stability and Precision With an operating range from -53°C to +165°C, the probe maintains a stable 2 mm linear range and minimal signal drift. Its supply sensitivity is rated at less than 2 mV per volt, ensuring that fluctuations in the power supply do not compromise the accuracy of vibration data. This precision allows for reliable 24/7 monitoring of critical machinery, providing clear data for predictive maintenance even in extreme temperature fluctuations.

Compact Design for Specialized Mounting The 0-inch unthreaded length and 1.6-inch overall case length provide a significant advantage in tight-clearance installations. This compact profile is specifically designed for flush-mounting into machine casings, eliminating the need for bulky external brackets. The ClickLoc connector further simplifies installation by providing a secure, tool-free connection that is resistant to moisture and oil ingress..
