Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the 330104-00-13-10-02-00 proximity probe primarily used for?

This probe is designed for measuring the relative vibration and position of rotating shafts and other moving machinery components in industrial environments. It’s commonly used in turbines, compressors, pumps, and gearboxes.

2. Is this probe compatible with other Bently Nevada monitoring systems?

Yes, the 330104-00-13-10-02-00 probe is fully compatible with the 3300 XL Proximitor sensor and integrates seamlessly with the Bently Nevada 3500 Series Monitoring System.

3. Can the probe be used in high-temperature or hazardous environments?

The probe has a wide operating temperature range and is certified for use in hazardous zones, depending on installation guidelines and pairing with appropriate extension cables and proximitor sensors.

4. How long is the cable in the 330104-00-13-10-02-00 model?

This specific model includes a probe with a cable length of 1 meters, making it suitable for applications requiring extended distances between the probe tip and the proximitor.

5. What shaft material is it calibrated for?

Like other Bently Nevada proximity probes, this model is factory calibrated for AISI 4140 steel. If used with different materials, recalibration or adjustment of scale factors may be necessary.

6. What is the typical gap voltage output for this probe?

The system provides a standard gap voltage of –200 mV/mil (–7.87 mV/μm), which is consistent across 3300 XL 8 mm probe systems.

7. Can the probe be replaced without recalibrating the entire system?

Yes, as long as you replace it with a probe of the exact same model and cable length, the system does not require recalibration, due to matched components during manufacturing.

8. What is the maximum temperature this probe can handle?

The probe itself can operate in temperatures ranging from –35°C to +177°C (–31°F to +350°F), which makes it suitable for many industrial settings.

9. How is the probe mounted in a machine system?

It’s typically mounted using a threaded sleeve or clamp, ensuring the probe tip is precisely positioned relative to the target shaft, with a specified initial gap of around 2 mm.

10. Is this model suitable for both radial and axial position monitoring?

Yes, the 330104-00-13-10-02-00 model can be used to monitor both radial shaft vibration and axial position (thrust position), depending on the probe placement.
