• Total length: 1.5 meter (4.9 feet) with miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector and FluidLoc cable.
• Linear range: 2 mm (80 mils), from 0.25 to 2.3 mm (10 to 90 mils).
• Incremental scale factor: 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil) ±5% for standard 5 or 1 meter systems.
• Probe tip material: Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS); case material: AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel.
• Operating temperature range: -52°C to +177°C (-62°F to +350°F) for standard probe.
• Recommended gap setting for radial vibration: -9 Vdc (approximately 1.27 mm or 50 mils).
• Probe case torque: maximum 33.9 N·m (300 in·lbf) for standard forward mounted probes.

A standout feature is the patented TipLoc molding method, which creates a stronger bond between the probe tip and body, enhancing durability against physical abuse.

Real-World Applications for the 330101-00-11-15-12-CN

In rotating machinery such as turbines, compressors, and pumps, the 330101-00-11-15-12-CN excels at measuring radial vibration and shaft position. Its 2 mm linear range and high sensitivity (7.87 V/mm) make it ideal for early fault detection. Consequently, maintenance teams can schedule repairs proactively, reducing unplanned downtime.

Installation Guide for the 330101-00-11-15-12-CN

Mount the probe using the 3/8-24 UNF thread with a recommended torque of 11.2 N·m (100 in·lbf) for standard forward mounting. For the first three threads, use 7.5 N·m (66 in·lbf). Ensure the thread engagement does not exceed 0.563 inches. Use field wiring of 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (16 to 24 AWG) with a three-conductor shielded triad cable, keeping the maximum length to 305 meters (1,000 feet) between the Proximitor sensor and monitor.

Maintenance and Reliability Tips

Regularly inspect the probe cable and connector for wear, especially in high-vibration areas. The FluidLoc cable option prevents oil leakage, so verify its integrity periodically. Operate within the standard temperature range of -52°C to +177°C to avoid premature seal failure. Following these steps extends service life and maintains measurement accuracy.

Compatibility and Integration

The 330101-00-11-15-12-CN integrates seamlessly with Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximitor sensors and monitoring systems. It supports field wiring lengths up to 305 meters, allowing flexible placement of monitoring equipment. For optimal performance, use the recommended gap setting of -9 Vdc.
