Quick Detail

Description

The Bently Nevada 330104-00-16-10-02-05 is a specialized long-case variant within the esteemed 3300 XL series of 8 mm Proximity Probes, engineered for critical machinery condition monitoring applications where standard probe dimensions are insufficient. This model is distinctly characterized by its extended overall case length of 160 mm (approximately 6.3 inches), a design feature that allows the sensitive probe tip to reach through thicker machinery walls, insulation layers, or protective sleeves to accurately measure shaft dynamics. As a premier eddy current displacement transducer, it generates a highly linear voltage output that is directly proportional to the gap between its tip and a conductive target, enabling precise measurement of both dynamic vibration and static position for essential assets like steam turbines, gearboxes, and large industrial fans.

Durability and signal integrity are foundational to this proximity probe's design. The extended probe body is precision-machined from corrosion-resistant AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel (SST), providing robust mechanical strength and protection in harsh industrial environments. The sensing tip is crafted from resilient Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), offering superior resistance to chemical degradation, moisture, and oils commonly encountered in machinery lubrication systems. This robust material combination ensures reliable long-term performance across a specified operating temperature range of -50°C to +101°C (-65°F to +205°F), making it suitable for applications within enclosed housings or areas with moderate thermal extremes.

The 330104-00-16-10-02-05 is configured for straightforward integration and secure operation. It comes with a factory-integrated, standard cable with a total length of 1.0 meter (3.3 feet), terminated with a reliable Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector for vibration-resistant connections. Its CSA, ATEX, and IECEx Approvals certify it for safe use in hazardous locations where flammable gases or dust may be present, a critical requirement for oil & gas and chemical processing industries. This Bently Nevada sensor, with its defined 2 mm linear range, stable 50 Ω output resistance, and low supply sensitivity, delivers consistent and accurate data. Supplied as an original, factory-sealed unit, it guarantees full compatibility with the 3300 XL monitoring system, serving as a trusted component for predictive maintenance and robust machinery protection strategies, particularly where physical installation constraints demand an extended-reach solution.

Applications

This probe is ideal for the continuous radial vibration monitoring of shafts on large turbines, compressors, and generators where bearing housings or casings are exceptionally thick. Its 160 mm case length allows it to be securely mounted through these substantial structures, ensuring the probe tip is correctly positioned at the optimal sensing distance from the shaft surface to detect imbalance, misalignment, and bearing defects with high precision.

Equipped with a 1.0-meter cable and hazardous area certifications (CSA, ATEX, IECEx), this model is perfectly suited for integration into comprehensive machinery protection systems within refineries, petrochemical plants, and offshore platforms. Its robust stainless steel and PPS construction withstands harsh environments, providing reliable input signals for vibration monitors and safety shutdown systems, thereby preventing catastrophic failures and ensuring operational safety in critical processes.

The extended 160 mm body makes this probe an excellent choice for measuring axial (thrust) position in equipment with complex internal geometries or where mounting from a greater distance is necessary. It can effectively monitor the minute movements of thrust collars within multi-stage compressors or large pumps, providing vital data to prevent damaging metal-to-metal contact and optimize machine clearances for peak efficiency.

Specifications

Competitive Advantage

1. Extended Reach Design for Challenging Mounting Scenarios

The defining 160 mm overall case length provides a unique installation advantage, enabling the probe to traverse deep mounting holes, thick insulation, or protective barriers that standard-length probes cannot. This eliminates the need for custom machining or complex adapter kits, simplifying installation on legacy equipment or specific OEM machinery designed for long-reach sensors, and ensuring the sensing tip is positioned at the optimal location for accurate measurement.

2. Certified for Hazardous Areas with Robust Industrial Build

Possessing CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals, this probe offers a certified safe solution for use in explosive atmospheres, a critical requirement for many process industries. Coupled with its stainless steel case and chemical-resistant PPS tip, it delivers unmatched durability and compliance, reducing operational risk and ensuring long-term reliability in the most demanding environments, from oil refineries to chemical processing lines.

3. Optimal Configuration for Direct System Integration

The combination of a standard 1.0-meter integrated cable with the miniature ClickLoc connector and stable 50 Ω electrical output ensures seamless, plug-and-play compatibility with existing 3300 XL and compatible monitoring systems. This optimized configuration reduces installation time, minimizes potential signal integrity issues from improper cabling, and simplifies inventory management for maintenance teams.

4. Precision Performance in Moderate to High-Temperature Environments

Engineered to operate reliably from -50°C to +101°C with low supply sensitivity, this probe maintains precise signal linearity and stability within its 2 mm range under typical industrial operating conditions. This consistent performance ensures that vibration and position data remain accurate for effective condition assessment and protection logic, supporting reliable predictive maintenance without signal drift concerns.
