Quick Detail

Description

The 330180-51-00 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor is a state-of-the-art non-contact displacement and vibration measurement device designed for high-precision industrial automation applications. This sensor provides an output voltage directly proportional to the distance between its probe tip and the target conductive surface, enabling accurate measurement of both static shaft positions and dynamic vibration signals. Widely employed in monitoring fluid-film bearing machinery, the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor also serves as a Keyphasor reference and rotational speed measurement tool, essential for predictive maintenance and machine condition monitoring in automated systems.

As part of the 3300 XL series, the 330180-51-00 Proximitor Sensor embodies the most advanced performance standards in eddy current proximity transducer technology. Its design complies fully with the API 670 Standard, ensuring precise mechanical configuration, linearity, accuracy, and thermal stability. Each sensor seamlessly integrates with 3300 XL extension cables and probes, offering full interchangeability without requiring individual calibration. This backward compatibility extends to older non-XL 3300 series 5 mm and 8 mm components, providing flexibility for retrofits or upgrades where mounting space or installation constraints exist.

One of the major improvements of the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor is its compact packaging, which supports high-density DIN-rail installations while still allowing traditional panel mounting using a universal 4-hole footprint. The sensor base provides electrical isolation, eliminating the need for additional isolator plates, and its enhanced design offers strong immunity to radio frequency interference (RFI) and electromagnetic interference (EMI). This allows installation in fiberglass enclosures or other sensitive environments without signal degradation, while also meeting European CE mark requirements without expensive shielded conduits or metallic housings, significantly reducing installation cost and complexity.

The SpringLoc terminal strips featured in the 330180-51-00 model simplify field wiring by removing the need for screw-type connections, ensuring faster, more secure, and maintenance-free installation. Designed for industrial automation systems where reliability and precision are critical, the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor ensures continuous, high-accuracy monitoring of rotating machinery, supporting advanced predictive maintenance strategies and extending equipment life.

In conclusion, the 330180-51-00 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor combines precision, reliability, and installation flexibility. Its advanced eddy current sensing, robust EMI/RFI resistance, and seamless integration with the 3300 XL system make it a cornerstone solution for automated machinery monitoring, vibration analysis, and condition-based maintenance programs.

Applications

Vibration Monitoring in Rotating Machinery

The 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor is specifically designed for high-precision vibration measurement in fluid-film bearing machines. By providing an output voltage directly proportional to the distance between the probe tip and the observed conductive surface, it allows continuous monitoring of dynamic shaft vibrations. This capability is critical for predictive maintenance and early detection of mechanical faults, minimizing unexpected downtime in industrial operations.

Position and Displacement Measurement

In addition to vibration analysis, the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor excels at measuring static positions and shaft displacement. Its high linearity and temperature stability ensure accurate position readings even under extreme operating conditions, making it ideal for applications requiring precise alignment verification or shaft positioning in turbines, compressors, and pumps.

Keyphasor Reference and Speed Sensing

The sensor also serves as a Keyphasor reference for synchronous machinery measurements, providing reliable phase and speed information for advanced control systems. This function is essential for synchronizing rotating equipment and maintaining optimal operational performance in power generation, petrochemical, and industrial automation sectors.

High-Density and Flexible Mounting

The 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor’s compact A308 aluminum housing supports both DIN-rail and traditional panel mount configurations. Its backward-compatible design allows integration with existing 3300 series systems without bench calibration, supporting interchangeability of probes, extension cables, and Proximitor sensors. This flexibility simplifies retrofits and new installations in space-constrained control panels or high-density industrial setups.

Robust EMI/RFI Immunity

Designed for industrial environments with high electromagnetic interference, the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor maintains accurate performance even when mounted in fiberglass housings near radio frequency sources. Its compliance with European CE requirements without special shielding reduces installation complexity and costs, ensuring reliable operation across a wide range of applications.

API 670 Standard Compliance

The sensor fully meets API 670 standards for mechanical configuration, linear range, accuracy, and temperature stability, making it a trusted choice for critical process machinery in petroleum, chemical, and energy industries.

Specifications

Competitive Advantage

Superior Measurement Accuracy

The 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor delivers precise output voltage directly proportional to the distance between the probe tip and conductive surfaces, enabling accurate static position and dynamic vibration measurements. Its compliance with API 670 standards ensures reliable performance in critical machinery applications, including fluid-film bearing machines, Keyphasor reference, and speed sensing.

Interchangeability and Backward Compatibility

All components of the 3300 XL 8 mm system—including probes, extension cables, and Proximitor sensors—are fully interchangeable with non-XL 3300 series 5 mm and 8 mm components. This backward compatibility eliminates the need for bench calibration, simplifying upgrades, replacements, and retrofits while minimizing operational downtime.

Flexible Mounting Options

The sensor’s A308 aluminum housing supports both high-density DIN-rail installations and traditional panel mount configurations. Its 4-hole mounting footprint is compatible with older Proximitor designs, providing electrical isolation without the need for additional isolator plates and allowing seamless integration into existing control systems.

Enhanced EMI/RFI Immunity

Designed to operate in electrically noisy industrial environments, the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor offers robust immunity to radio frequency and electromagnetic interference. This eliminates the need for specialized shielded conduits or metallic housings, reducing installation costs and complexity while maintaining consistent performance.

User-Friendly Installation

Equipped with SpringLoc terminal strips, the sensor enables faster and more reliable field wiring. The design eliminates traditional screw-type clamps that can loosen over time, ensuring secure connections and reducing maintenance efforts.

Wide Operating Temperature Range

Capable of functioning in extreme temperatures from -52°C to +100°C (-62°F to +212°F) and storing safely up to +105°C (+221°F), the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor is suitable for harsh industrial environments, providing long-term durability and operational reliability.
