Bently Nevada 330101-32-53-10-02-00 3300 XL Probe

Bently Nevada 330101-32-53-10-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Probe

Product Introduction

The Bently Nevada 330101-32-53-10-02-00 belongs to the reliable 3300 XL series. This 8 mm probe measures radial vibration and position in rotating machinery. It features a 3/8-24 UNF thread and comes without armor for flexible installation.

Additionally, the probe uses a patented TipLoc molding method. This creates a stronger bond between the probe tip and body. The cable also incorporates a CableLoc design. Therefore, it provides up to 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength for secure attachment.

Technical Specifications

The Bently Nevada 330101-32-53-10-02-00 offers a linear range of 2 mm (80 mils). This range starts at approximately 0.25 mm (10 mils) from the target. It extends from 0.25 to 2.3 mm (10 to 90 mils), which equals about –1 to –17 Vdc.

For radial vibration, the recommended gap setting is -9 Vdc. This corresponds to roughly 1.27 mm (50 mils). The incremental scale factor (ISF) reaches 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil) with a ±5% interchangeability error. This applies for standard 1 or 5 meter systems at 0°C to +45°C.

Moreover, the nominal probe DC resistance (RPROBE) measures 7.59 ± 0.50 Ω for a 1.0 metre length. The extension cable capacitance is typically 69.9 pF/m (21.3 pF/ft). Field wiring should use 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (16 to 24 AWG) three-conductor shielded triad cable. The maximum length between the Proximitor Sensor and monitor is 305 metres (1,000 feet).

Mechanical & Environmental Parameters

The probe tip uses polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) material. The probe case is made of AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel (SST). Weight is approximately 323 g/m (11.4 oz).

For temperature, the standard probe operates from -52°C to +177°C (-62°F to +350°F). However, exposing the probe to temperatures below –34°C (-30°F) may cause premature seal failure. The extended temperature range probe reaches up to +218°C (+425°F) at the tip.

Pressure sealing uses a Viton® O-ring. The 3300 XL 8 mm probe is not pressure tested before shipment. Relative humidity testing shows less than a 3% change in average scale factor after 56 days at 93% humidity per IEC 68-2-3.

Installation Guidelines

First, ensure the target surface is clean and smooth. Next, set the probe gap to approximately -9 Vdc for radial vibration monitoring. Use the recommended torque for the 3/8-24 UNF thread to avoid damage.

Furthermore, avoid bending the probe cable sharply. The CableLoc design provides high pull strength, but you should still handle the cable with care. For best results, use the recommended field wiring type and keep total cable length within 305 metres.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the total length of the Bently Nevada 330101-32-53-10-02-00 probe?
The total length option is 10, which means 1.0 metre (3.3 feet). This includes the probe tip, cable, and the miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector.

2. Can I use this probe with an extension cable?
Yes. The 3300 XL 8 mm probe works with Bently Nevada extension cables. However, you must ensure the total system length does not exceed 9 metres for standard configurations.

3. What is the recommended gap setting for this model?
For radial vibration measurements, set the gap to -9 Vdc. This equals approximately 1.27 mm (50 mils) between the probe tip and the target surface.

4. Does the probe work in high-temperature environments?
Yes, the standard probe operates from -52°C to +177°C. For higher temperatures, order the extended temperature range version. Note that temperatures below -34°C may damage the pressure seal.

5. Is the Bently Nevada 330101-32-53-10-02-00 pressure tested before shipment?
No, standard probes are not pressure tested. If your application requires pressure seal verification, you must contact Bently Nevada's custom design department for a special test.
