Bently Nevada 330106-05-30-05-02-00 Reverse Mount Probe

Bently Nevada 330106-05-30-05-02-00 Reverse Mount Probe

Product Introduction

The Bently Nevada 330106-05-30-05-02-00 is a precision reverse mount probe from the established 3300 XL series. This model operates on eddy current principles to measure vibration and position without physical contact. It is particularly suitable for metric mounting applications, thanks to its M10 x 1 threads. This specific version has a 0.5-meter total length and a Miniature ClickLoc coaxial connector. It serves as a reliable sensor for critical machinery protection and predictive maintenance programs. The 3300 XL 8mm Reverse Mount Probe delivers stable, repeatable output for effective machine condition monitoring.

Technical Specifications

The Bently Nevada 330106-05-30-05-02-00 offers specific electrical and mechanical characteristics. The total length option "05" designates a 0.5-meter (1.6 feet) cable. Its connector option, "-02," confirms the inclusion of a Miniature ClickLoc coaxial connector. Furthermore, the agency approval option "00" means no specific hazardous area certification is required for this model. The probe tip uses Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) material. Meanwhile, the probe case is machined from AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel (SST). These materials ensure durability and chemical resistance in industrial environments.

Electrical performance is also consistent. For this 0.5-meter model, the nominal probe DC resistance (RPROBE) from the center conductor to the outer conductor is 7.45 ± 0.50 Ω. This tight tolerance helps maintain signal accuracy. Additionally, the probe case thread is M10 x 1 with a maximum thread engagement length of 15 mm. The probe weighs approximately 323 grams per meter (11.4 oz/m). These specifications make this model ideal for metric mounting standards.

Probe Cable Specifications

The Bently Nevada 330106-05-30-05-02-00 comes with a standard cable option. It features a 75Ω triaxial, fluoroethylene propylene (FEP) insulated probe cable. For more demanding thermal conditions, an extended temperature range cable is available. This option uses perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) insulation and comes in lengths such as 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 5, or 9 meters. Additionally, flexible armor is optional for both cable types. The armor consists of AISI 302 or 304 SST with an FEP outer jacket. This added protection is beneficial in harsh installation environments.

The connector materials are also noteworthy. They are made of gold-plated brass or gold-plated beryllium copper. This ensures excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. Moreover, the maximum rated tensile strength is 330 N (75 lbf) from the probe case to the probe lead. At the probe lead to extension cable connectors, it is 270 N (60 lbf). Therefore, the cable assembly offers good mechanical robustness.

Environmental and Mechanical Parameters

This sensor operates effectively under a broad range of conditions. The standard probe temperature range is from -52°C to +177°C (-62°F to +350°F). An extended temperature range version is also available for more severe conditions. It supports up to +218°C (+425°F) at the probe tip. Meanwhile, its cable and connector can withstand up to +260°C (+500°F). Be aware that exposing the probe to temperatures below –34˚C (-30˚F) may cause premature failure of the pressure seal.

Pressure integrity is another key feature. The 3300 XL 8 mm probes are designed to seal differential pressure between the probe tip and the case. They utilize a Viton® O-ring for sealing. Although not pressure tested prior to shipment, custom testing is available upon request. Furthermore, humidity resistance is excellent. The probe shows less than a 3% change in Average Scale Factor (ASF) when tested in 93% humidity per IEC standard 68 2 3 for up to 56 days.

Installation Guidance

Proper installation is essential for the accurate performance of the 3300 XL 8mm Reverse Mount Probe. Begin by preparing the target surface, ensuring it is clean and within specified material conditions. Next, thread the probe into the mounting hole using the M10 x 1 thread. The maximum thread engagement is 15 mm, so avoid over-tightening. After securing the probe, connect the Miniature ClickLoc coaxial connector to the extension cable. This connector provides a secure, vibration-resistant connection.

Furthermore, carefully route the probe cable to avoid sharp bends, high-temperature surfaces, and electrical interference. Use appropriate cable ties and supports, but do not compress the cable excessively. Additionally, set the probe tip gap according to your system's calibration specifications. For detailed guidance, always consult the Bently Nevada proximity system manual. Following these practices will maximize measurement reliability and sensor longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What does the "05" total length option mean on the Bently Nevada 330106-05-30-05-02-00?
The "05" specifies a total cable length of 0.5 meters (1.6 feet). This short length is ideal for applications where the junction box is very close to the probe mounting location.

2. Is the Bently Nevada 330106-05-30-05-02-00 compatible with 5mm probes?
No, this model is specifically a 3300 XL 8mm probe. It is not compatible with 5mm systems. Always verify your system requirements.

3. What is the advantage of the Miniature ClickLoc connector?
This connector provides a positive, locking connection that resists vibration. It prevents accidental disconnection in harsh industrial environments. The 330106-05-30-05-02-00 uses this connector for reliable signal transmission.

4. Can I use this probe at temperatures above 177°C?
The standard probe range goes up to +177°C. For higher temperatures, you would need the extended temperature range version. The Bently Nevada 330106-05-30-05-02-00 is a standard model.

5. How should I clean the probe tip before installation?
Use a soft, lint-free cloth with isopropyl alcohol. Gently wipe the PPS tip to remove any contaminants. Ensure the tip is completely dry before mounting.
