330101-00-10-10-02-CN | Bently Nevada 8mm Probe 1m Cable

Introduction to the Bently Nevada 330101-00-10-10-02-CN

When machinery vibration threatens uptime, the 330101-00-10-10-02-CN from Bently Nevada provides precise measurement. This 3300 XL 8 mm probe features a 3/8-24 UNF thread and a 1.0 meter total length. It comes without armor, making it suitable for standard industrial environments. The probe uses a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector for secure signal transmission. With a linear range of 2 mm (80 mils), it captures critical vibration data from rotating equipment.

A standout spec is the patented TipLoc and CableLoc designs. These provide a robust bond and 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength, reducing probe failure risk.

Applications and Use Cases

This probe excels in monitoring radial vibration of turbines, compressors, and pumps. For example, in a steam turbine train, the 330101-00-10-10-02-CN delivers consistent data for predictive maintenance. Its 2 mm linear range covers typical shaft vibration amplitudes. The 8 mm probe body offers enhanced ruggedness compared to smaller probes, making it ideal for harsh environments.

Installation and Setup

Mount the probe using the 3/8-24 UNF thread into a suitable mounting hole. Ensure the target surface is clean and within 0.25 mm to 2.3 mm for linear operation. Use the recommended gap setting of -9 Vdc for radial vibration. Field wiring requires 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (16 to 24 AWG) three-conductor shielded triad cable. Maximum cable length between the Proximitor Sensor and monitor is 305 meters (1,000 feet).

Maintenance and Reliability

Regularly inspect the probe cable and connector for wear. The Viton O-ring provides a differential pressure seal, but probes are not pressure tested before shipment. Avoid exposing the probe to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F) to prevent premature pressure seal failure. For extended life, operate within the -52°C to +177°C range.

Compatibility and Integration

The 330101-00-10-10-02-CN integrates with Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximitor Sensors and monitoring systems. It works with standard 5 or 1 meter systems for optimal performance. The miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector ensures secure connection to extension cables. For extended temperature range applications, use the ETR probe variant.
