330173-00-06-10-02-CN Bently Nevada 3300 5mm Probe M8

Introduction

Since the 1970s, industrial condition monitoring has evolved from periodic manual checks to continuous, high‑fidelity measurement. The Bently Nevada 3300 series proximity probe embodies this shift, delivering reliable displacement data for rotating machinery. The 330173-00-06-10-02-CN is a 5mm probe with M8 x 1 thread, designed for precise shaft vibration and position measurements. Its engineering‑grade construction ensures exact signal integrity in demanding environments.

Applications and Use Cases

This probe is ideal for continuous monitoring of steam turbines, compressors, and pumps. For instance, in a power plant, the 330173-00-06-10-02-CN provides precise radial vibration data, helping operators detect misalignment early. Additionally, its wide temperature range suits harsh environments. Consequently, maintenance teams can schedule interventions based on actual condition, reducing unplanned downtime.

Installation and Maintenance

Install the probe with a recommended case torque of 5.1 N·m (45 in·lb) and a maximum of 7.3 N·m (65 in·lb). Ensure a minimum cable bend radius of 25.4 mm (1.0 in). For maintenance, inspect periodically for wear and verify gap voltage. The AISI 304 stainless steel case resists corrosion, while the PPS tip offers chemical stability.
