330101-00-10-05-02-05 | Bently Nevada 8 mm Probe 0.5m Cable

Introduction to the 330101-00-10-05-02-05 Bently Nevada 8 mm Probe

When machinery vibration threatens uptime, the 330101-00-10-05-02-05 Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm probe provides precise measurement. This probe features a 3/8-24 UNF thread and a 0.5 meter cable with a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector. It is designed for robust performance in critical rotating equipment.

Key Features and Technical Specifications of the 330101-00-10-05-02-05

• Probe type: 3300 XL 8 mm probe with 3/8-24 UNF thread, without armor.
• Unthreaded length: 0.0 inches.
• Overall case length: 1.0 inch.
• Total length: 0.5 meter (1.6 feet).
• Connector: Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with standard cable.
• Agency approvals: CSA, ATEX, IECEx.
• Linear range: 2 mm (80 mils), starting at approximately 0.25 mm (10 mils) from target.
• Incremental scale factor (ISF): 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil) ±5% for standard 5 or 1 meter systems.
• Probe tip material: Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS).
• Probe case material: AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel.
• Operating temperature range (standard probe): -52°C to +177°C (-62°F to +350°F).

One distinctive spec is the patented TipLoc molding method that provides a robust bond between the probe tip and body. This reduces failure risk in high-vibration environments.

Applications and Use Cases for the 330101-00-10-05-02-05

This probe is ideal for radial vibration monitoring in turbines, compressors, and pumps. For example, in a steam turbine installation, the 330101-00-10-05-02-05 delivers accurate shaft displacement data. It also supports axial position monitoring when paired with a suitable target. The 8 mm design offers enhanced robustness against physical abuse compared to smaller probes.

Installation and Setup Guide

Mount the probe using the 3/8-24 UNF thread. Ensure the thread engagement does not exceed 0.563 inches. For forward mounted probes, apply a recommended torque of 11.2 N•m (100 in•lbf) for the case, and 7.5 N•m (66 in•lbf) for the first three threads. Use three-conductor shielded triad cable for field wiring, with a maximum length of 305 meters (1,000 feet) between the Proximitor sensor and monitor. Set the recommended gap for radial vibration to -9 Vdc (approximately 1.27 mm or 50 mils).

Maintenance and Reliability Tips

Inspect the probe cable and connector periodically for wear. The CableLoc design provides 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength to prevent accidental disconnection. Avoid exposing the probe to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F) to prevent pressure seal failure. For applications with oil or liquid leakage, consider the optional FluidLoc cable. Regular verification of the incremental scale factor ensures measurement accuracy.

Compatibility and Integration

The 330101-00-10-05-02-05 integrates with Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximitor sensors and monitors. It supports standard 5 or 1 meter system configurations. The miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector simplifies cable attachment. For extended temperature ranges, use the ETR probe version.
