330101-00-08-05-12-CN | Bently Nevada 8 mm Probe Supplier

Introduction to the 330101-00-08-05-12-CN

When machinery vibration threatens uptime, the 330101-00-08-05-12-CN from Bently Nevada provides reliable measurement. This 3300 XL 8 mm probe features a 3/8-24 UNF thread and is designed without armor. Made in the U.S.A., it offers a patented TipLoc molding method for a robust bond between probe tip and body.

Key Features & Technical Specs

• Linear Range: 2 mm (80 mils), from approximately 0.25 mm to 2.3 mm from target.
• Incremental Scale Factor: 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil) ±5% for standard 5 or 1 meter systems.
• Probe Tip Material: Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) for durability.
• Probe Case Material: AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel (SST).
• Operating Temperature Range: Standard probe from -52°C to +177°C (-62°F to +350°F).
• Extension Cable Capacitance: 69.9 pF/m (21.3 pF/ft) typical.
• Field Wiring: 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (16 to 24 AWG), maximum length 305 meters (1,000 feet).

Applications & Use Cases

In rotating machinery monitoring, the 330101-00-08-05-12-CN excels at measuring radial vibration and shaft position. Its 2 mm linear range suits turbines, compressors, and pumps. The probe’s robust PPS tip withstands harsh environments, reducing false readings. For example, in a steam turbine application, the probe’s stable scale factor ensures accurate trend data over time.

Installation & Setup

Mount the probe with the recommended gap setting of -9 Vdc (approximately 1.27 mm or 50 mils). Use 3-conductor shielded triad cable for field wiring. Ensure the probe tip is clean and free of debris before installation. The ClickLoc connector simplifies cable attachment, and the FluidLoc cable option prevents oil leakage through the cable interior.

Maintenance & Reliability

Inspect the probe tip and cable periodically for wear or damage. The CableLoc design provides 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength, reducing cable breakage. Avoid exposing the probe to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F) to prevent pressure seal failure. Regular calibration checks maintain measurement accuracy.

Compatibility & Integration

The 330101-00-08-05-12-CN works with Bently Nevada 3300 XL extension cables and Proximitor sensors. Field wiring up to 305 meters connects to compatible monitors. The miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector ensures secure signal transmission.
