Quick Detail

Description

The Bently Nevada 330103-17-22-10-12-05 represents a highly specialized configuration within the industry-leading 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probes family, engineered for exceptional performance in demanding and spatially constrained monitoring applications. These premium non-contact eddy current displacement sensors are meticulously manufactured in the USA, delivering unparalleled accuracy for continuous vibration and position measurement on critical rotating machinery such as gas turbines, steam turbines, high-speed compressors, and large centrifugal pumps. The defining characteristic of this specific 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probes model is its extended mechanical design, featuring a 170 mm unthreaded probe length and a 220 mm overall case length. This unique geometry is purpose-built to navigate deep-set mounting scenarios, allowing the 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probes to pass through substantial machine casings, thick-walled bearing housings, or auxiliary protective sleeves while maintaining precise gap alignment with the target shaft.

At the core of the 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probes operation is a robust eddy current sensing principle. The probe generates a high-frequency electromagnetic field at its tip; when positioned near a conductive target, induced eddy currents create a measurable change in the coil's impedance, which is linearly converted into a precise DC voltage output proportional to the gap distance. This 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probes variant offers a standard 2 mm (80 mils) linear measuring range, providing high-resolution data essential for detecting minute changes in shaft radial vibration, axial thrust position, and eccentricity. The sensor's construction ensures long-term reliability: the durable probe body is machined from corrosion-resistant AISI 303/304 stainless steel, while the wear-resistant probe tip utilizes high-temperature Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) material to ensure dimensional stability. The integrated 1.0-meter FluidLoc cable terminates in a secure Miniature Coaxial ClickLoc connector, offering excellent resistance to fluids and ensuring a reliable, vibration-proof connection to the compatible 3300 XL Proximitor transducer.

Applications

1.Deep-Reach Machinery Vibration Monitoring

This probe is specifically engineered for applications where the measurement point is located deep within the machine structure. Its 170 mm unthreaded length and 220 mm overall case length allow it to traverse thick housings or protective barriers in large turbines, generators, and compressors, providing accurate vibration and shaft position data from otherwise inaccessible locations.

2.Hazardous Environment Certified Installations

With its CSA, ATEX, and IECEx Approvals, this sensor is ideally suited for deployment in classified hazardous areas. It is a reliable component for machinery protection systems in industries such as oil & gas production, chemical processing, and pharmaceutical manufacturing, where safety and compliance are paramount.

3.Critical Asset Predictive Maintenance

When integrated into a continuous condition monitoring system, the probe's precise 2 mm linear range and stable output facilitate trend analysis for predictive maintenance. It helps identify developing issues like shaft misalignment, imbalance, and bearing degradation in pumps, motors, and fans, enabling planned interventions before failure occurs.

Specifications

Competitive Advantage

1.Specialized Extended Length Design for Complex Mounting

Unlike standard proximity probes, this model features a unique 170 mm unthreaded section and 220 mm overall case length. This provides a critical advantage for OEMs and maintenance teams dealing with deep-set bearing housings or custom machine designs, eliminating the need for complex adapter solutions and ensuring direct, reliable installation.

2.Multi-Certification for Global Hazardous Area Compliance

The probe comes pre-certified with CSA, ATEX, and IECEx Approvals. This trifecta of certifications simplifies the specification and procurement process for global projects, ensures compliance with international safety standards, and reduces the time and cost associated with obtaining site-specific hazardous area certifications.

3.Superior Environmental and Operational Robustness

Constructed with an AISI 303/304 stainless steel case and a PPS probe tip, the sensor offers exceptional resistance to corrosion, oil, chemicals, and mechanical wear. Coupled with a wide operating temperature range (-55°C to +180°C) and very low supply sensitivity, it guarantees measurement stability and long-term reliability in the most demanding industrial environments, minimizing sensor drift and maintenance needs.
