Technical Specifications of the Bently Nevada 330907 Reverse Mount Probe

The Bently Nevada 330907-05-30-05-02-00 delivers accurate and stable readings for effective machine protection. Its performance is defined by several key parameters.

• Probe DC Resistance: The resistance from the center conductor to the outer conductor is 4.0 ± 0.5 ohms.

• Linear Range: This model provides a linear range of 1.5 mm (60 mils) , starting from approximately 0.25 mm (10 mils) up to 1.75 mm (70 mils) from the target.

• Recommended Gap Setting: For optimal performance, the recommended gap setting is 1.0 mm (40 mils) .

• Field Wiring: It is recommended to use a three-conductor shielded triad cable. The maximum field wiring length between the Proximitor Sensor and the monitor is 305 meters (1,000 feet) .

• Connector: This unit comes standard with a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector for a secure, locking connection.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters for the 3300 NSv Reverse Mount Model

The 3300 NSv Reverse Mount Probe is built to withstand harsh conditions. Its mechanical and environmental tolerances are critical for reliable field installation.

• Probe Tip Material: Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS).

• Probe Case Material: AISI 304 stainless steel (SST) .

• Case Thread: M10x1 .

• Maximum Thread Engagement (M10x1): 15 mm.

• Operating Temperature: The probe functions reliably from -52°C to +177°C (-62°F to +351°F) .

• Storage Temperature: Same as operating range, from -52°C to +177°C.

• Critical Note: Exposing the probe to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F) for a sustained period may cause premature failure of the pressure seal.

• Pressure Capability: The probe seals differential pressure between the tip and case using a Viton O-ring.

• Case Torque (Reverse Mount): The maximum rated torque is 22.6 N•m (200 in•lb) , while the recommended installation torque is 7.5 N•m (66 in•lb) .

Installation Guidance for the 330907-05-30-05-02-00 Proximity Sensor

Proper installation of the Bently Nevada 330907-05-30-05-02-00 ensures accurate measurements and a long service life. First, verify that the target surface is clean and within the specified linear range. Next, set the initial gap to the recommended 1.0 mm (40 mils) using a non-conductive feeler gauge. Then, tighten the probe case to the recommended torque of 7.5 N•m (66 in•lb) to avoid damaging the threads or the seal. Additionally, ensure the ClickLoc connector is fully engaged until it clicks into place, which prevents loosening due to vibration. Finally, route the field wiring using shielded triad cable, keeping the total length within the 305-meter limit.
