Quick Detail

Description

The 40113-02 Connector Protector Kit is a specialized, high-performance accessory engineered exclusively for Bently Nevada transducer systems, designed to deliver uncompromising mechanical protection and signal integrity for critical industrial connectivity applications. As an essential complementary component for proximity probe extension cables—including the 3300 XL series cables—the 40113-02 Connector Protector Kit addresses a core pain point in rugged industrial environments: connector vulnerability to physical damage, abrasion, impact, and environmental contaminants. This kit integrates a robust armored sheath and precision-molded protective components that form a seamless, shock-resistant barrier around cable connectors, eliminating the risk of connector loosening, wire exposure, or signal interruption caused by heavy machinery vibration, tool impacts, sharp edge abrasion, or rodent gnawing—common failure modes that lead to costly unplanned downtime in manufacturing plants, power generation facilities, and oil and gas refineries.

What sets the 40113-02 Connector Protector Kit apart is its tailored compatibility with Bently Nevada’s 3300 XL transducer systems, including 8 mm, 11 mm proximity probes and their corresponding extension cables. Unlike generic connector protectors that require cumbersome modifications or compromise system electrical performance, this kit is precision-engineered to maintain the system’s critical electrical parameters: it preserves the 55 pF/m capacitance and 50 Ω impedance of paired cables, ensuring minimal signal loss and full retention of the transducer system’s calibration and linear measurement range. This electrical compatibility is non-negotiable for accurate vibration and position monitoring, as it guarantees that high-fidelity data from proximity probes is transmitted to monitoring systems without distortion, supporting reliable fault detection for rotating machinery such as turbines, compressors, and pumps.

Applications

1. Hazardous Area Transducer System Deployments

The 40113-02 Connector Protector Kit is ideally suited for Bently Nevada 3300 XL transducer systems operating in CSA, ATEX, IECEx-certified hazardous environments, including oil refineries, chemical plants, and coal mines where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dust are present. Its certified design ensures that connector protection does not compromise the system’s explosion-proof performance, while the armored sheath prevents physical damage to connectors that could otherwise create ignition risks. The kit is widely used to protect connections between proximity probes and extension cables for turbine and compressor monitoring in these high-risk settings, ensuring continuous, safe data transmission for predictive maintenance.

2. Heavy-Duty Industrial Machinery Monitoring

This connector protector kit is a core accessory for transducer systems deployed in heavy manufacturing facilities, power generation plants, and offshore drilling platforms—environments where cable connectors are exposed to intense vibration, mechanical impact, and abrasive debris. It is extensively applied to protect connectors on proximity probe cables used for monitoring rotating machinery such as motors, generators, and gearboxes, preventing connector loosening or wire breakage caused by equipment vibration or accidental tool impacts. The kit’s rugged construction ensures long-term reliability in these harsh conditions, reducing the frequency of connector replacement and maintenance downtime.

3. 3300 XL Transducer System Retrofits and Upgrades

The 40113-02 Connector Protector Kit serves as a cost-effective upgrade solution for existing Bently Nevada 3300 XL transducer systems that lack dedicated connector protection. It is commonly retrofitted onto extension cables in aging monitoring setups to enhance the durability of connections between probes, cables, and Proximitor sensors, extending the overall service life of the system without requiring full component replacement. This application is particularly valuable for industrial facilities looking to optimize the performance of their legacy condition monitoring systems and reduce long-term operational costs.

Specifications

Competitive Advantage

1. System-Tailored Design for Uncompromised Signal Integrity

Unlike generic connector protectors that disrupt the electrical parameters of transducer systems, the 40113-02 Connector Protector Kit is precision-engineered for Bently Nevada 3300 XL series components. It preserves the 55 pF/m capacitance and 50 Ω impedance of paired cables, ensuring minimal signal loss and full retention of the system’s calibration and linear measurement range. This tailored compatibility guarantees accurate vibration and position data transmission, a critical advantage over one-size-fits-all alternatives that often cause signal distortion and compromise machinery fault detection accuracy.

2.Multi-Certified Compliance for Global Hazardous Area Deployment

The kit carries CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications, complying with the strictest international safety standards for use in explosive environments. This eliminates the need for additional safety modifications or third-party certification validation, simplifying procurement for global industrial projects. Competing generic protectors typically lack these certifications, requiring end-users to invest in costly custom testing or forgo deployment in hazardous areas—creating significant compliance risks and cost burdens.

3.Armored Construction for Superior Mechanical Durability

The integrated armored sheath of the 40113-02 Connector Protector Kit delivers unmatched resistance to crushing forces, abrasion, impact, and rodent damage—defenses that standard plastic connector covers cannot provide. In rugged industrial settings, this durability extends connector service life by 50%–60% compared to unprotected or generically protected configurations, drastically reducing maintenance frequency and unplanned downtime costs associated with connector failure.

4. Plug-and-Play Installation for Minimal Operational Disruption

Designed for user-friendly assembly without specialized tools, the 40113-02 Connector Protector Kit can be installed onto cable connectors in minutes, minimizing production disruptions during system setup or maintenance. Competing industrial connector protectors often require complex modification or professional installation, leading to longer downtime and higher labor costs—disadvantages that this Bently Nevada kit eliminates entirely.
