The Evolution of Precision Measurement: Bently Nevada 330171-00-16-05-02-05
For decades, industrial machinery protection has relied on accurate displacement measurement. As turbines and compressors grew more complex, the need for reliable proximity probes intensified. The Bently Nevada 330171-00-16-05-02-05 3300 5mm probe meets this demand with engineering-grade precision. This probe, part of the trusted 3300 series, offers a 1/4-28 UNF thread and a 0.5-meter total length. Consequently, it integrates seamlessly into existing monitoring systems.
Key Specifications of the 330171-00-16-05-02-05
The 330171-00-16-05-02-05 operates with a -17.5 Vdc to -26 Vdc power supply, drawing a maximum of 12 mA. Its output resistance is 50 Ω, ensuring signal integrity. The probe DC resistance from center to outer conductor is 7.45 ± 0.50 Ω at 0.5 m. Furthermore, the probe tip is made of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), while the case uses AISI 304 stainless steel. The miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector provides a secure, standard cable interface. With a weight of 0.323 kg, it balances robustness and ease of installation.

Installation and Maintenance Insights
Installing the 330171-00-16-05-02-05 requires attention to thread engagement. The maximum thread engagement is 0.375 in, and a #3 or larger tap drill is recommended. Additionally, the recommended probe case torque is 5.1 N·m (45 in·lb), with a maximum of 7.3 N·m (65 in·lb). For reliable operation, maintain a minimum cable bend radius of 25.4 mm (1.0 in). Regular inspection of the probe tip and cable is advised to prevent wear. The probe operates within a temperature range of -35°C to +177°C, but exposure below -34°C may cause premature seal failure.
