FAQs

Q1: What is the main function of the 330930-045-01-00 proximity probe?

A1: It detects the relative motion and vibration of rotating shafts in machinery using non-contact eddy current technology.

Q2: Is this probe compatible with all Bently Nevada systems?

A2: It is specifically designed for use with the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor system and may not be compatible with other series without modification.

Q3: Can this probe be used in hazardous or high-temperature environments?

A3: Yes, it is built to withstand temperatures up to +177°C and has a sealed design for oil and dust protection.

Q4: What does the “045” in the model number indicate?

A4: It signifies the probe cable length, which in this case is 45 inches.

Q5: How is the probe installed?

A5: It is mounted via a threaded tip (3/8-24 UNF) into a fixed bracket, positioned close to the rotating shaft.

Q6: Does the probe need calibration?

A6: No, it comes pre-calibrated from the factory, but system calibration with proximitor sensors is required during setup.

Q7: Is this probe reusable after removal?

A7: Yes, if undamaged. However, the armored cable should be inspected to ensure integrity before reinstallation.

Q8: Can it detect both vibration and shaft position?

A8: Yes, it provides data that can be used to measure both radial vibration and axial shaft position.

Q9: How does the armor help the probe?

A9: The armor protects the internal cable from mechanical damage, oil, and environmental exposure.

Q10: Is a longer cable length available?

A10: Yes, Bently Nevada offers other variants with different lengths such as 60, 80, or 100 inches.
