Bently Nevada 330702-00-10-50-02-00 Proximity Probe

Bently Nevada 330702-00-10-50-02-00 Proximity Probe

Product Introduction

This Bently Nevada 330702-00-10-50-02-00 is a premium 3300 XL series sensor with integral armor. It is designed for non-contact vibration and displacement monitoring of rotating machinery. The probe incorporates advanced eddy current technology for exceptional linearity and stability. Specifically, the Bently Nevada 330702-00-10-50-02-00 comes with an unthreaded length of 0 inches and a 1.0-inch overall case length. Meanwhile, its total length is precisely 5.0 metres (16.4 feet). Furthermore, it uses the miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector for secure installation. In addition, this model includes stainless steel armor for enhanced cable protection in harsh environments. Notably, this five-metre probe is specifically designed for use with the five-metre Proximitor Sensor only.

Technical Specifications

The Bently Nevada 330702-00-10-50-02-00 offers precise specifications for critical applications. Its robust design ensures reliable data under demanding conditions. For instance, the probe tip uses Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) for excellent chemical resistance. Meanwhile, the probe case is constructed from AISI 304 stainless steel (SST) for superior durability. Moreover, the cable features 75 Ω triaxial, fluoroethylene propylene (FEP) insulation. Consequently, this configuration delivers consistent signal integrity over extended periods. Additionally, the DC resistance from the center conductor to the outer conductor measures 7.2 ± 0.8 ohms for this 5.0-metre variant. Therefore, you can expect stable and repeatable performance from this 3300 XL probe.

Mechanical & Environmental Parameters

This 3300 XL probe operates effectively in harsh industrial settings. Its construction materials are chosen for longevity and consistent performance. For example, the operating and storage temperature range spans from -51°C to +177°C (-60°F to +351°F). However, exposing the probe to temperatures below -34°C (30°F) may cause premature failure of the pressure seal. Therefore, careful attention to operating conditions is strongly advised. Additionally, the pressure seal uses a Viton O-ring to maintain differential pressure integrity. Meanwhile, the minimum bend radius is 25.4 mm (1.0 in) with the stainless steel armor installed. Consequently, this flexibility simplifies cable routing in confined spaces. Furthermore, the recommended case torque is 15.2 N•m (133 in•lb), while the maximum rated torque is 45.2 N•m (400 in•lb). Similarly, the connector should be finger-tightened only, with an absolute maximum of 0.565 N•m (5 in•lb).

• Operating & Storage Temperature: -51°C to +177°C (-60°F to +351°F).

• Pressure Seal: The probe uses a Viton O-ring to seal differential pressure.

• Minimum Bend Radius: 25.4 mm (1.0 in) with or without armor.

• Case Torque (Maximum): 45.2 N•m (400 in•lb).

• Case Torque (Recommended): 15.2 N•m (133 in•lb).

• Connector Torque (Maximum): 0.565 N•m (5 in•lb).

• Connector Torque (Recommended): Finger tight.

• Maximum Length of Thread Engagement (1/2-20): 0.750 in.

Installation & Mounting Guide

Proper installation of the Bently Nevada 330702-00-10-50-02-00 is essential for accurate measurements. Therefore, please follow these guidelines carefully. First, ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris. Next, thread the probe into the mounting hole using the 1/2-20 UNF threads. Remember that the maximum length of thread engagement is 0.750 inches. Consequently, avoid over-torquing the probe case. The recommended torque is 15.2 N•m. After mounting, connect the ClickLoc connector. Finger-tighten the connector initially. The maximum torque for this connection is only 0.565 N•m. Finally, route the armored probe cable with a minimum bend radius of 25.4 mm. In addition, always verify that the armor is not damaged or kinked during installation. Also, ensure that the probe tip remains free from contamination before final positioning. Moreover, consider using a torque wrench for precise tightening to avoid damaging the threads. Following these steps will maximize the service life of your 3300 XL probe.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the total length of the Bently Nevada 330702-00-10-50-02-00?
The total probe length for this specific model is exactly 5.0 metres, which translates to approximately 16.4 feet. The "50" option in the model number specifies this length.

2. Is this probe compatible with all Proximitor Sensors?
No. This five-metre probe is specifically designed for use with the five-metre Proximitor Sensor only. Using it with other Proximitor models may result in inaccurate measurements.

3. What type of connector does this 3300 XL probe use?
This model uses the miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with standard cable. It is designed for a secure, finger-tight connection with a maximum torque of only 0.565 N•m.

4. What is the difference between this model and the non-armored version?
The Bently Nevada 330702-00-10-50-02-00 includes stainless steel armor for enhanced cable protection. This makes it ideal for installations where the cable may be exposed to abrasion, crushing, or other mechanical stresses.
