Industry Applications

In rotating machinery monitoring, the 330101-00-08-05-02-00 excels at measuring shaft vibration and position. It is ideal for turbines, compressors, and pumps where early fault detection prevents unplanned downtime. The robust PPS tip and stainless steel case withstand harsh conditions.

Installation & Setup

Mount the probe with the 3/8-24 UNF thread into a standard mounting hole. Use the ClickLoc connector for secure cable attachment. Field wiring requires 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (16 to 24 AWG) three-conductor shielded triad cable, with a maximum length of 305 meters (1,000 feet) to the monitor.

Maintenance & Reliability

Regularly inspect the probe tip and cable for physical damage. The CableLoc design provides 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength, reducing cable failure risk. For optimal performance, verify the gap setting at -9 Vdc (approximately 1.27 mm or 50 mils) for radial vibration applications.

Compatibility & Integration

The 330101-00-08-05-02-00 works with Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximitor sensors and monitoring systems. It supports standard 5 or 1 meter systems with an incremental scale factor of 7.87 V/mm. For extended temperature range systems, the scale factor tolerance is ±6.5%.
