Bently Nevada 330708-00-10-90-11-05 Probe Sensor

Bently Nevada 3300 XL 11 mm Proximity Probe 330708-00-10-90-11-05

Product Introduction

The Bently Nevada 330708-00-10-90-11-05 is a non-contact proximity transducer. It belongs to the renowned 3300 XL series, which is an industry standard for machinery protection. This specific model uses an eddy current principle to measure vibration and position accurately. Therefore, it is an ideal choice for monitoring critical equipment like turbines, compressors, and pumps. Furthermore, its robust design ensures longevity in demanding industrial environments. The probe provides a stable output. This output is proportional to the distance between the probe tip and the conductive target.

Technical Specifications

The model number 330708-00-10-90-11-05 defines its specific configuration. First, the "330708" indicates the base probe type. This is a 3300 XL 11 mm Probe with a 5/8-18 UNF thread. Also, it comes without armor. The "00" option means the unthreaded length is 0 inches. Meanwhile, the "10" option signifies an overall case length of 1.0 inch. Next, the "90" option is crucial. This specifies a total length of 9.0 meters, which is equivalent to 29.5 feet. Finally, the connector and cable options are defined by "11". This includes a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with a connector protector and a FluidLoc cable. The "05" approval indicates the probe has multiple agency approvals.

Additionally, the probe is engineered for consistent performance. The Bently Nevada sensor uses a 75 Ω triaxial cable. This cable features fluoroethylene propylene (FEP) insulation. The probe tip is made from Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS). Furthermore, the case is constructed from AISI 304 stainless steel (SST). The DC resistance from the center conductor to the outer conductor is 8.5 ± 1.1 ohms. This consistency ensures reliable signal transmission. For installation, the probe case thread is 5/8-18. The maximum length of thread engagement is 0.938 inches.

Environmental and Mechanical Parameters

The 3300 XL 11 mm Proximity Probe operates under a wide range of conditions. Its operating and storage temperature span 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. The probe is designed to seal differential pressure. This seal uses a Viton O-ring. For installation, the recommended torque for the probe case is 15.2 N•m (133 in•lb). The maximum rated torque is 45.2 N•m (400 in•lb). Meanwhile, the connector-to-connector torque should be finger tight. The maximum connector torque is 0.565 N•m (5 in•lb). Also, the minimum bend radius for the cable is 25.4 mm (1.0 in), with or without armor.

Installation Guide

Proper installation is critical for accurate measurements. First, ensure the target surface is clean and free of debris. The mounting hole must match the 5/8-18 UNF thread. Before installation, inspect the probe tip for any damage. Next, thread the probe into the mounting hole. Be careful not to cross-thread. Use a torque wrench to achieve the recommended 15.2 N•m. Over-tightening can damage the probe. Subsequently, connect the probe to the extension cable using the ClickLoc connector. Tighten this connector finger tight. Finally, connect the system to the driver and power it up. Set the initial gap according to your application's specifications. Remember to follow all safety guidelines. The Bently Nevada 330708-00-10-90-11-05 comes with a 9.0-meter cable. This provides flexibility for connecting to remote monitoring panels.
