FAQ

Q1: What type of sensor technology does the 330104-00-07-50-12-00 use?

A1: It uses eddy current sensing technology for non-contact measurement of shaft displacement.

Q2: How does the probe connect to the monitoring system?

A2: The probe connects via a coaxial extension cable to a Proximitor® sensor, which conditions and transmits the signal to the monitoring system.

Q3: What is the typical sensitivity of this probe?

A3: The typical sensitivity is –200 mV/μm, consistent with the Bently Nevada 3300 XL standard.

Q4: Can this probe measure both static and dynamic shaft motion?

A4: Yes, it measures static shaft position (DC component) and dynamic vibration (AC component).

Q5: What is the linear range of the probe?

A5: The linear range is typically 2.0 mm to 4.0 mm.

Q6: Does the probe require calibration after installation?

A6: Factory calibration ensures consistency, but field calibration checks are recommended during commissioning.

Q7: What is the maximum cable length supported with the Proximitor®?

A7: The system supports up to 9 m of extension cable plus the probe’s integral cable length, depending on configuration.

Q8: What is the frequency response capability of this probe?

A8: The probe provides response from DC up to 10 kHz, suitable for most machinery vibration analysis.

Q9: How does temperature affect the measurement accuracy?

A9: The probe is temperature compensated within its operating range, ensuring minimal drift across –35 °C to +177 °C.

Q10: Is this probe interchangeable with other 3300 XL 8 mm probes?

A10: Yes, it is designed to be interchangeable with other probes of the same series when paired with matching extension cables and Proximitor units.
