330701-00-20-90-02-00 Bently Nevada Proximity Probe
Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada 330701-00-20-90-02-00 is a precision 11 mm proximity probe from the trusted 3300 XL series. This probe performs non-contact measurements of vibration, position, and speed on critical rotating equipment like turbines, compressors, and pumps. The 330701-00-20-90-02-00 uses a 1/2-20 UNF mounting thread without armor, which suits standard installations where mechanical protection remains unnecessary. Its 9.0-meter total length offers flexibility for connecting to remote Proximitor sensors. Additionally, the miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector ensures secure signal transmission and reliable operation.
Technical Specifications of the 330701-00-20-90-02-00
The 330701-00-20-90-02-00 provides precise measurement capabilities for critical machinery monitoring. Its linear range covers 2 mm (80 mils), starting at approximately 0.25 mm (10 mils) from the target and extending to 2.3 mm (10 to 90 mils). This range corresponds to an output of approximately -1 to -17 Vdc. For radial vibration measurements, we recommend setting the gap to -9 Vdc, which equals about 1.27 mm (50 mils). The probe incorporates a 75Ω triaxial cable with FEP (fluoroethylene propylene) insulation, which ensures stable signal transmission across its 9.0-meter length. Furthermore, the DC resistance from the center conductor to the outer conductor measures 8.5 ± 1.1 Ω.
Mechanical and Material Specifications
High-quality materials make up the 330701-00-20-90-02-00, ensuring durability and reliable performance. Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) forms the probe tip, offering excellent chemical resistance and dimensional stability. AISI 304 stainless steel (SST) composes the probe case, providing corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. The 1/2-20 UNF thread has a maximum thread engagement of 0.750 inches. For installation, we recommend applying 15.2 N•m (133 in•lb) of torque to the probe case, while the maximum rated torque reaches 45.2 N•m (400 in•lb). The connector-to-connector connection should remain finger tight, with a maximum torque of 0.565 N•m (5 in•lb).
Compliance and Certifications
The 330701-00-20-90-02-00 meets numerous international standards for industrial monitoring equipment. It complies with FCC Part 15 rules for electromagnetic emissions. For the European market, it adheres to the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU and RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, satisfying both EN 61000-6-2 (immunity) and EN 61000-6-4 (emissions) requirements. Additionally, it meets the 2019 Rules for Conditions of Classification for maritime applications on ships and offshore structures. The 3300 XL series probes are electrically and physically interchangeable with non-XL 3300 5 mm and 8 mm components when you observe the minimum cable bend radius.
Installation Guidelines for the 330701-00-20-90-02-00
Proper installation of the 330701-00-20-90-02-00 ensures accurate measurements and a long service life. First, mount the probe with the correct thread engagement, not exceeding 0.750 inches for the 1/2-20 UNF thread. Second, apply the recommended torque of 15.2 N•m (133 in•lb) when securing the probe case. Third, observe the minimum bend radius of 25.4 mm (1.0 inch) for the cable to prevent internal conductor damage. Fourth, keep the connector-to-connector connection finger tight, never exceeding 0.565 N•m (5 in•lb). For field wiring, use a 3-conductor shielded triad cable with 16 to 24 AWG tinned conductors. Keep the total wiring length within 305 meters (1,000 feet) between the Proximitor sensor and the monitor for optimal signal quality.
