330101-00-14-10-02-CN | Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm Probe

Product Overview: Bently Nevada 330101-00-14-10-02-CN

When machine reliability is non-negotiable, the 330101-00-14-10-02-CN from Bently Nevada delivers precise shaft vibration and position measurements. This 3300 XL 8 mm probe is engineered for demanding industrial environments, providing robust performance and consistent data for predictive maintenance programs.

Part of the trusted 3300 XL family, this probe features a 3/8-24 UNF thread and a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector for secure, quick installation. With a total length of 1.0 meter (3.3 feet), it integrates seamlessly into existing monitoring systems.

Key Features and Technical Specifications

• Probe Type: 3300 XL 8 mm probe with 3/8-24 UNF thread, without armor.
• Unthreaded Length: 0.0 inches, allowing for flexible mounting options.
• Overall Case Length: 1.4 inches, compact design for tight installations.
• Total Length: 1.0 meter (3.3 feet) including cable.
• Connector: Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with standard cable.
• Agency Approval: Country-specific approvals (CN option).

The probe tip is molded with patented TipLoc technology, creating a robust bond between tip and body. The CableLoc design provides 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength, ensuring cable integrity even under stress.

Performance and Reliability

With a linear range of 2 mm (80 mils) and an incremental scale factor of 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil) ±5%, the 330101-00-14-10-02-CN delivers accurate, repeatable measurements. The recommended gap setting for radial vibration is -9 Vdc, corresponding to approximately 1.27 mm (50 mils) from the target.

This probe operates reliably across a wide temperature range: -52°C to +177°C (-62°F to +350°F) for standard versions. The PPS probe tip and stainless steel case (AISI 303 or 304) provide excellent durability against physical abuse and environmental stress.

Applications and Use Cases

The 330101-00-14-10-02-CN is ideal for monitoring rotating machinery such as turbines, compressors, and pumps. Its 8 mm design offers thicker encapsulation of the probe coil, making it more rugged than smaller probes. Use it for radial vibration monitoring, axial position measurement, and shaft eccentricity detection.

In addition, the optional FluidLoc cable option prevents oil or liquid leakage through the cable interior, making it suitable for applications where fluid contamination is a concern.

Installation and Setup

Installation is straightforward. Mount the probe using the 3/8-24 UNF thread, ensuring proper gap adjustment per the recommended -9 Vdc setting. Connect the ClickLoc connector to the extension cable, and route the cable to the Proximitor sensor. Field wiring should use 3-conductor shielded triad cable (16 to 24 AWG), with a maximum length of 305 meters (1,000 feet) between sensor and monitor.

Maintenance and Reliability

Regular inspection of the probe and cable is recommended to ensure optimal performance. Check for physical damage, proper torque, and secure connections. The probe's robust design minimizes maintenance needs, but periodic verification of the gap voltage and scale factor is advised.

Compatibility and Integration

This probe is designed for use with Bently Nevada 3300 XL extension cables and Proximitor sensors. It is compatible with standard monitoring systems that accept 8 mm proximity probes. For specific integration details, refer to the system manual or contact Petro Auto Tech.
