Quick Detail

Description

The 330101-00-18-10-02-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe represents the gold standard in non-contacting vibration measurement technology, specifically engineered for the most rigorous industrial machinery protection applications. As a fundamental component of the Bently Nevada 3300 XL ecosystem, the 330101-00-18-10-02-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe utilizes high-frequency eddy current principles to monitor the distance between the probe tip and a conductive target. This specific 330101-00-18-10-02-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe configuration features a 1.8-inch overall case length and is fully threaded (0.0 in unthreaded length), making it exceptionally versatile for precision gapping in standard bearing housings.

Engineering excellence is at the heart of the 330101-00-18-10-02-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe. It incorporates patented TipLoc technology, which ensures a chemical and mechanical bond between the Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) tip and the stainless steel body that is virtually indestructible. Additionally, the 330101-00-18-10-02-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe utilizes CableLoc construction, providing over 330 Newtons (75 pounds) of pull strength to the integral 1.0-meter cable. With a linear range of 2.0 mm (80 mils) and a standard sensitivity of 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil), the 330101-00-18-10-02-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe delivers unparalleled accuracy for radial vibration and axial thrust measurements.

The 330101-00-18-10-02-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe is designed for global deployment, carrying the "05" Multiple Approvals rating for hazardous areas, including CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications. This ensures that the 330101-00-18-10-02-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe can be safely operated in explosive atmospheres commonly found in oil and gas refineries.

Applications

The 330101-00-18-10-02-05 is extensively utilized for radial vibration monitoring on fluid-film bearing machines, such as centrifugal compressors and high-speed pumps. Its 1.8-inch fully threaded body allows for precise mechanical gapping within the bearing housing, enabling the sensor to detect shaft dynamic motion with sub-micron resolution. This is critical for identifying early-stage imbalances, misalignments, or oil whirl phenomena that could lead to catastrophic machine failure if left unmonitored.

In steam and gas turbine applications, this 3300 XL 8 mm probe is applied to measure axial thrust position and rotor expansion. Due to its wide operating temperature range (-51°C to +177°C), the probe can be mounted internally near the thrust collar where it monitors the axial float of the shaft. This data is vital for the machinery protection system (MPS) to trigger emergency shutdowns if the thrust bearings wear beyond safety limits, protecting the turbine blades from internal contact.

This probe is also a primary choice for monitoring auxiliary rotating equipment in hazardous industrial zones, such as cooling tower fans and electric motors in chemical processing plants. With its 1.0-meter cable and "05" agency approval, it is easily integrated into explosion-proof junction boxes. The robust PPS tip material ensures that the probe remains resistant to corrosive atmospheric agents and ammonia-based lubricants often present in these environments, maintaining signal integrity over years of continuous operation.

Specifications

Competitive Advantage

Enhanced Mechanical Integrity with TipLoc & CableLoc The 330101-00-18-10-02-05 features Bently Nevada’s patented TipLoc and CableLoc technologies. TipLoc ensures the probe tip remains attached even under extreme vibration or pressure differentials, while CableLoc provides superior resistance to cable pull-out. These features significantly reduce the most common causes of probe failure in the field, leading to lower maintenance costs and higher system availability compared to generic proximity sensors.

Global Hazardous Area Interchangeability Equipped with the "05" Multiple Approval option, this probe meets CSA, ATEX, and IECEx standards simultaneously. This allows multinational corporations to standardize a single part number for their global inventory, ensuring compliance with local safety regulations across North America, Europe, and Asia. Furthermore, the 3300 XL series guarantees 100% electrical interchangeability, allowing this probe to be swapped without re-calibrating the Proximitor sensor.

Superior Material Science for Harsh Environments The combination of a high-performance Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) tip and an AISI 304 stainless steel case provides exceptional resistance to chemical corrosion and thermal cycling. Unlike lower-quality probes that may drift or degrade when exposed to synthetic lubricants or extreme temperatures, the 330101-00-18-10-02-05 maintains a stable 7.87 V/mm sensitivity, ensuring that vibration data remains accurate throughout the sensor's entire lifecycle.
