Bently Nevada 330102-00-60-05-01-CN 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probes

The Bently Nevada 330102-00-60-05-01-CN is part of the 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System, developed for reliable and accurate vibration and position monitoring in rotating machinery. This probe assembly is widely used in turbine, compressor, pump, and motor applications across various industries including oil & gas, petrochemicals, power generation, and heavy manufacturing.

The 3300 XL series is renowned for its rugged design, superior performance, and long-term reliability, even in demanding industrial environments. The 330102 probe features a threaded body and includes a standard 8 mm tip, optimized for use with non-contact measurement systems and proximity transducer drivers like the 3300 XL extension cables and Proximitor® sensors.

The “CN” suffix indicates China-specific compliance and regional designation, making it suitable for localized deployments while retaining full compatibility with global Bently Nevada systems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the primary function of this probe?

   It measures the distance between the probe tip and a metallic surface (e.g., a rotating shaft) without contact.

2. Can I use this probe with any Bently Nevada system?

   It is specifically designed for use with 3300 XL extension cables and Proximitor® sensors for best accuracy.

3. Is this model different from standard 330102 probes?

   Functionally it’s the same, but the “CN” suffix indicates regional compliance for China.

4. What is the typical linear range for this probe?

   Approximately 2 mm (80 mils), depending on system calibration and target material.

5. What kind of environments can this probe operate in?

   It operates in temperatures up to 177°C and resists moisture, vibration, and industrial contaminants.

6. Can the cable be extended beyond 1.5 meters?

   Not directly. You must use the designated extension cables for proper system calibration.

7. Does it come pre-calibrated?

   Yes, it is factory calibrated for a standard 4140 steel target and specified system components.

8. How should it be installed?

   Use threaded mounting with a lock nut and maintain a consistent gap for accurate readings.

9. What is the effect of temperature on accuracy?

   The probe is thermally compensated, but it should be used within its rated temperature range.

10. Can I use this probe in explosive environments?

    It depends on the system certification. The probe alone is not intrinsically safe—check system-wide compliance.
