330141-08-20-01-00 Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm Probe

Product Overview of the 330141-08-20-01-00

From a maintenance engineer's perspective, the Bently Nevada 330141-08-20-01-00 is a critical component for machinery protection. This 3300 XL 8 mm probe with armor is engineered for precise, long-term shaft vibration and position measurement. Its robust construction addresses the common failure points of lesser probes, ensuring your monitoring system delivers verified data. The 330141-08-20-01-00 is a direct result of Bently Nevada's engineering-grade precision, designed to withstand the harsh realities of industrial environments.

Key Specifications and Physical Construction

The 330141-08-20-01-00 is defined by its exact physical and electrical characteristics. The probe features a total length of 2.0 meters (6.6 feet) and an overall case length of 0.8 inches. Its construction includes a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with a connector protector and standard cable. The 8 mm probe body provides a thicker encapsulation of the probe coil in a molded PPS plastic tip, resulting in a more rugged sensor. The case is made from AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel (SST), offering a stronger, more robust housing. The probe tip material is polyphenylene sulfide (PPS). The nominal probe DC resistance (RPROBE) from center conductor to outer conductor for this 2.0 m probe is 7.88 ± 0.50 Ω.

Performance and Environmental Limits

Maintenance engineers rely on the 330141-08-20-01-00 for its stable performance. The Incremental Scale Factor (ISF) for a standard 5 or 1 meter system is 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil) ± 5% including interchangeability error. The Deviation from best fit straight line (DSL) is less than ±0.025 mm (±1 mil) with components at 0°C to +45°C (+32°F to +113°F). The probe's operating and storage temperature range is -52°C to +177°C (-62°F to +350°F). It is designed to seal differential pressure between the probe tip and case using a Viton O ring. The probe exhibits less than a 3% change in Average Scale Factor (ASF) when tested in 93% humidity for up to 56 days.

Installation and Reliability

Proper installation is key to maximizing the service life of the 330141-08-20-01-00. The patented TipLoc molding method provides a robust bond between the probe tip and body, while the CableLoc design offers 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength. This engineering-grade precision ensures the probe cable and tip remain securely attached. For maintenance, periodic inspection of the probe tip and cable is recommended. Verify the connector is clean and dry. The armored cable provides physical protection, but should be routed to avoid sharp bends or abrasion. The 330141-08-20-01-00 is designed for reliability, but environmental factors such as extreme temperatures can affect performance.

Integration and Support

The 330141-08-20-01-00 integrates with 3300 XL extension cables and proximitor systems. The miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector ensures a secure, precise connection. When servicing, always follow the manufacturer's safety manual.
