Bently Nevada 330106-05-30-20-02-00 8mm Reverse Mount Probe

Bently Nevada 330106-05-30-20-02-00 3300 XL 8mm Reverse Mount Probe

Product Introduction

The Bently Nevada 330106-05-30-20-02-00 belongs to the high-performance 3300 XL series. This reverse mount probe excels in demanding turbomachinery environments. It measures radial vibration, axial position, and eccentricity with high accuracy. The sensor’s robust construction includes a PPS tip and a stainless steel case. This design ensures long-term durability in harsh industrial settings.

Technical Specifications

The 330106-05-30-20-02-00 model meets stringent performance requirements. This 8 mm reverse mount probe has a total length of 2.0 meters (6.6 feet). This length includes the integral triaxial cable.

Additionally, this model incorporates a standard Miniature ClickLoc coaxial connector. This connector ensures a secure and stable connection to the extension cable. Gold-plated brass or beryllium copper forms the connector material, which guarantees excellent signal conductivity.

For electrical characteristics, the nominal DC resistance (RPROBE) for this 2.0-meter probe measures 7.88 ± 0.50 Ω. This measurement occurs from the center conductor to the outer conductor. It provides a consistent baseline for accurate system calibration. The probe tip uses polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) material. This material offers excellent resistance to wear and chemicals. Simultaneously, AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel comprises the case, which provides durability and corrosion resistance.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

The mechanical design of the 3300 XL 8 mm Reverse Mount Probe ensures robust performance. Its primary mounting thread is M10 x 1, and the maximum thread engagement length is 15 mm. We strongly advise observing this limit to prevent damage to the probe tip.

Furthermore, the probe cable uses a 75Ω triaxial type with fluoroethylene propylene (FEP) insulation. The operating temperature range extends widely, 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 failure of the pressure seal. The probe also handles high relative humidity effectively. It shows less than a 3% change in Average Scale Factor (ASF) after testing in 93% humidity for up to 56 days.

Installation Guidelines

Proper installation plays a critical role for the Bently Nevada 330106-05-30-20-02-00 to achieve optimal performance. First, ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris. Carefully thread the probe into the mounting hole using the M10x1 thread.

Next, apply the correct torque when tightening to avoid over-stressing the threads. Remember, the maximum thread engagement length is 15 mm. It is also important to route the probe cable carefully, ensuring it does not undergo sharp bends or excessive tension. The maximum rated tensile strength from the probe case to the probe lead is 330 N (75 lbf), and at the connector it is 270 N (60 lbf).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the primary application for the Bently Nevada 330106-05-30-20-02-00?
This probe primarily monitors radial vibration and axial position on turbomachinery like steam turbines, gas turbines, and compressors. The reverse mount design suits applications with limited space.

2. How does this reverse mount probe differ from a standard mount probe?
A reverse mount probe, like the 330106-05-30-20-02-00, places the connector at the probe end and the mounting threads near the tip. In contrast, a standard mount has the connector at the cable end and threads at the case.

3. Can I use this probe with an extension cable?
Yes, the 3300 XL 8 mm Reverse Mount Probe works seamlessly with Bently Nevada extension cables. The ClickLoc connector provides a safe, weather-proof connection.

4. Does this probe require special storage conditions?
Although the storage temperature range is broad, we recommend storing it in a clean, dry area to protect the connector and cable. Avoid placing heavy objects on the cable to preserve its integrity.

5. What shipping methods do you offer for this product?
We ship this item worldwide using major carriers such as Fedex, UPS, and DHL to ensure fast and reliable delivery.
