Bently Nevada 330901-14-43-10-02-05 Proximity Probe

Bently Nevada 330901-14-43-10-02-05 3300 NSv Proximity Probe

The 330901-14-43-10-02-05 model is a genuine Bently Nevada 3300 NSv Proximity Probe. It belongs to the 3300 NSv series, which is specifically engineered for machinery monitoring in areas with tight installation constraints. This probe provides non-contact measurement of shaft vibration and position.

Product Introduction

This 330901-14-43-10-02-05 probe is a compact eddy-current sensor. It operates as part of the 3300 XL NSv Transducer System. The system delivers a standard scale factor of 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil), ensuring compatibility with common monitoring systems. Furthermore, the NSv series offers enhanced side-view characteristics. This feature significantly reduces cross-talk in high-density mounting scenarios where standard 8mm probes may not fit. Additionally, this model carries multiple agency approvals (05) for use in hazardous areas.

Technical Specifications

The probe features a 1/4-28 UNF mounting thread and is supplied without armor. Its unthreaded length is 1.4 inches (14), and the overall case length is 4.3 inches (43). Moreover, the total cable length is 1.0 meter (10). The cable is a 75 Ω coaxial type with FEP insulation. It terminates in a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector (02). This specific model carries multiple approvals (05).

The probe case is constructed from AISI 304 stainless steel. The probe tip is made from Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS). For a 1.0-meter probe, the DC resistance from the center conductor to the outer conductor is 4.2 Ω ± 0.5 Ω.

Mechanical & Environmental Parameters

The operating and storage temperature range for this probe is -52°C to +177°C (-62°F to +351°F). However, sustained exposure to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F) may cause premature failure of the pressure seal. The probe is designed to seal differential pressure between the tip and case using a Viton O-ring. Notably, Bently Nevada does not pressure test probes prior to shipment.

The maximum recommended torque for the 1/4-28 probe case is 5.1 N•m (45 in•lb). Additionally, the maximum thread engagement length for this thread type is 0.375 inches (9.5 mm). The probe weight ranges from approximately 14 to 150 grams depending on the configuration.

Temperature Classification

For EPL Ga and Gc applications, the ambient temperature range varies by class. T1 allows -55°C to +232°C, while T2 permits -55°C to +177°C. Furthermore, T3 covers -55°C to +120°C, and T4 spans -55°C to +80°C. T5 is limited to -55°C to +40°C. For EPL Dc applications, the T280°C rating applies at ambient temperatures from -55°C to +232°C.

Installation Guide

First, prepare the 1/4-28 UNF threaded mounting hole and ensure it is clean. Next, carefully insert the 330901-14-43-10-02-05 probe into the hole. Then, hand-tighten the probe to avoid cross-threading. Finally, use a torque wrench to tighten the probe case to the recommended 5.1 N•m (45 in•lb). It is critical not to exceed the maximum rated torque of 7.3 N•m (65 in•lb).

Furthermore, route the 1.0-meter cable carefully. Avoid sharp bends that could damage the FEP insulation. The miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector provides a secure, locking connection. For optimal signal integrity, keep the connector clean and dry during installation.

FAQ

Q1: What is the primary application for this specific probe?
This probe is ideal for measuring radial vibration on small shafts or axial position on small flat targets. Its compact design allows installation where standard probes cannot fit.

Q2: What do the multiple approvals on this model cover?
The multiple approvals (05) indicate compliance with several international hazardous area standards. This makes the probe suitable for use in explosive atmospheres requiring EPL Ga, Gc, or Dc classification.

Q3: Can I use this probe with an existing 3300 RAM system?
Yes, the 3300 NSv probe and extension cable are mechanically and electrically interchangeable with previous 3300 RAM probes.

Q4: What is the correct gap setting for this NSv probe?
The recommended gap setting is typically 1.0 mm (40 mils) for standard NSv system calibration.

Q5: Which shipping carriers do you use?
We ship all orders via FedEx, UPS, and DHL for fast and reliable worldwide delivery.
