Bently Nevada 330907-05-30-10-02-00 3300 NSv Reverse Mount Probe

The Bently Nevada 330907-05-30-10-02-00 is a 3300 NSv Reverse Mount Proximity Probe, a high-performance non-contacting sensor engineered to provide accurate measurements of shaft position and vibration. Designed especially for use in small or tight spaces such as in small turbines, gearboxes, or pumps, this reverse-mount style probe is often used when space constraints or environmental considerations make traditional forward-mounted probes impractical.

The probe is part of the Bently Nevada 3300 NSv (Narrow Side-view) series and meets API 670 requirements for machinery protection. It works in tandem with matching extension cables and Proximitor sensors, forming a complete proximity transducer system. Its reverse mounting capability allows it to be installed from behind the target, typically from within a sealed compartment, making it ideal for cleanroom or high-pressure sealed environments.

Product Specifications

Product Applications

The 330907-05-30-10-02-00 is primarily used in:

• Small gas turbines and aero-derivative turbines

• Industrial gearboxes

• Reciprocating and centrifugal compressors

• Electric motors with limited space for traditional probes

• Critical small rotating machinery in oil & gas and power generation sectors

• Cleanroom or sealed environments requiring rear mounting

• Laboratory-scale or experimental turbomachinery setups

The reverse mount configuration is particularly valuable when the probe needs to be accessed only from behind the target shaft, which also minimizes contamination or access issues.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What does “reverse mount” mean in this probe?

   Reverse mount means the probe is installed from behind the shaft or target surface, rather than the front-facing side.

2. Can this probe be used in high-temperature applications?

   Yes, it supports operations up to 177°C (350°F), making it suitable for many demanding industrial applications.

3. Is the 330907-05-30-10-02-00 probe compatible with all Bently Nevada systems?

   It is compatible specifically with 3300 NSv Proximitor Sensors and extension cables.

4. Can this probe be installed in submerged or wet environments?

   When used with appropriate connectors and sealing, it can achieve IP65 protection.

5. What is the main difference between NSv and standard 3300 XL probes?

   NSv probes are designed for small target applications and have a narrower linear range and profile.

6. Does the cable length affect performance?

   The system is calibrated for the specified cable length (10 ft), and changes in length require re-calibration.

7. What is the target material for optimal performance?

   4140 or similar steel materials offer optimal calibration response.

8. Can the probe be reused after removal?

   Yes, as long as the probe and cable are undamaged and reinstalled properly.

9. Is field calibration required?

   Factory calibration is provided, but field verification may be recommended for critical systems.

10. Are longer cables available for this probe model?

    You can specify the length.
