Quick Detail

Description

The 330103-00-03-10-02-05 is a high-performance 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe, representing a critical advancement in eddy current sensing technology from Bently Nevada. This specific model is engineered to provide precise, non-contact displacement measurements for industrial rotating machinery protection systems. As an essential component of the 3300 XL series, the 330103-00-03-10-02-05 generates a linear voltage signal that is directly proportional to the physical gap between the proximity probe tip and a conductive target, such as a turbine shaft. This capability is vital for detecting subtle mechanical changes, including radial vibration and axial position, which are precursors to machinery failure.

The mechanical architecture of the 330103-00-03-10-02-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe is optimized for ultra-compact environments. Featuring a 30 mm overall case length and a 0 mm unthreaded length, it is one of the most space-efficient configurations in the Bently Nevada catalog. The probe utilizes a high-grade Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip and an AISI 303/304 stainless steel (SST) case, providing exceptional durability against harsh industrial lubricants, chemical erosion, and moisture. Its 1.0-meter (3.3 feet) standard cable is terminated with a Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector, ensuring a vibration-resistant and secure connection to extension cables.

Adhering to the stringent API 670 Standard, this 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe ensures world-class accuracy across its 2 mm (80 mils) linear range. It integrates patented TipLoc and CableLoc technologies to enhance mechanical strength, preventing tip shearing or cable pull-away failures even under extreme conditions.

Applications

Thrust (Axial) Position Protection in High-Speed Compressors In centrifugal compressors, maintaining the correct axial position is vital for thrust bearing health. This 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe provides continuous tracking of the shaft's axial movement. Its high thermal stability (up to +170°C) allows it to function reliably near high-heat compressor stages, ensuring that any excessive thrust displacement triggers the machinery protection system immediately.

Phase Reference (Keyphasor) for Diagnostic Analysis This probe is frequently utilized to provide a Keyphasor reference signal. By detecting a notch or projection on the rotating shaft, the 330103-00-03-10-02-05 produces a once-per-turn pulse. This signal is essential for determining rotational speed and calculating vector phase angles, which are critical for precision balancing and advanced diagnostic vibration analysis.

Specifications

Competitive Advantage

Ultra-Compact Profile for Restricted Mounting With its 30 mm overall case length and 0 mm unthreaded length, the 330103-00-03-10-02-05 offers a major advantage in space-constrained machinery. It solves the physical interference challenges encountered in compact pump units and small-frame compressors, allowing for high-quality sensing in areas where bulkier sensors cannot be mounted.

Patented Mechanical Reliability (TipLoc & CableLoc) Bently Nevada’s unique TipLoc molding process ensures that the probe tip and case are physically bonded, preventing delamination in harsh environments. Additionally, the CableLoc design provides a pull strength of up to 330 N (75 lbf), ensuring the 1.0-meter cable remains attached to the probe body despite the stresses of installation or machinery vibration.

Superior Signal Accuracy and API 670 Compliance The probe delivers a highly linear measurement with minimal supply sensitivity (less than 2 mV per volt). Being fully compliant with the API 670 Standard, it guarantees interchangeability with other 3300 XL components without requiring time-consuming field calibration, ensuring consistent data across the entire monitoring system.

Global Hazardous Area Certifications Unlike many generic alternatives, the 330103-00-03-10-02-05 is certified by CSA, ATEX, and IECEx. This "universal" compliance simplifies procurement for international projects and ensures the sensor meets the highest safety standards for operation in potentially explosive atmospheres.

Exceptional Resistance to Industrial Contaminants The combination of a stainless steel body and PPS tip material ensures that the probe is immune to the corrosive effects of moisture, oil, and various chemicals. This robust construction extends the service life of the sensor, reducing the total cost of ownership and the frequency of maintenance cycles in demanding industrial environments.
