330101-00-10-10-12-CN | Bently Nevada 8 mm Probe 1.0 m Cable

Introduction to the Bently Nevada 330101-00-10-10-12-CN

When machinery vibration threatens uptime, the 330101-00-10-10-12-CN provides reliable measurement. This Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm probe features a 3/8-24 UNF thread and a 1.0 meter cable. It is designed without armor for standard industrial environments. The probe delivers accurate data for predictive maintenance.

Key Features and Technical Specifications

The 330101-00-10-10-12-CN includes several performance-driven specs from the data sheet.

• Linear Range: 2 mm (80 mils) starting at approximately 0.25 mm from target.
• Incremental Scale Factor: 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil) ±5% for standard 1 meter systems.
• Probe Tip Material: Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) for durability.
• Probe Case Material: AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel.
• Temperature Range: Standard probe operates from -52°C to +177°C.
• Connector: Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with FluidLoc cable.
• Weight: 323 g/m (11.4 oz).

One distinctive spec is the patented CableLoc design providing 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength. This ensures secure cable attachment in demanding conditions.

Applications and Use Cases

Engineers use the 330101-00-10-10-12-CN for radial vibration monitoring in rotating machinery. It suits turbines, compressors, and pumps where precise gap settings matter. The recommended gap setting of -9 Vdc (approximately 1.27 mm) optimizes measurement accuracy. Its robust PPS tip withstands physical abuse in harsh environments.

Installation and Setup

Mount the 8 mm probe using the 3/8-24 UNF thread into a suitable bore. Connect the Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector to the extension cable. Use field wiring of 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (16 to 24 AWG) with a three-conductor shielded triad cable. Keep field wiring under 305 meters to avoid signal rolloff at high frequencies. Set the initial gap to -9 Vdc for radial vibration applications.

Maintenance and Reliability

Regular inspection of the probe tip and cable prevents measurement drift. The FluidLoc cable option stops oil leaks through the cable interior. Avoid exposing the probe to temperatures below -34°C to protect the pressure seal. The Viton O-ring seals differential pressure between tip and case. For extended life, follow the manufacturer's manual for periodic checks.

Compatibility and Integration

The 330101-00-10-10-12-CN works with Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximitor sensors and monitors. It integrates into existing vibration monitoring systems without modification. The standard 1 meter system delivers a 7.87 V/mm scale factor for consistent readings.
