Product Overview: Bently Nevada 330173-00-06-10-12-00
The Bently Nevada 330173-00-06-10-12-00 is a 3300 series 5mm proximity probe engineered for precise displacement measurement in industrial machinery. This probe features an M8 x 1 thread and a 60mm overall case length. It operates with a -17.5 Vdc to -26 Vdc power supply, drawing a maximum of 12 mA. The probe tip is constructed from polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), while the case uses AISI 304 stainless steel for durability. With a total length of 1.0 metre and a weight of 0.323 kg, this probe integrates seamlessly into condition monitoring systems. The miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with FluidLoc cable ensures reliable signal transmission. For engineering-grade precision in vibration and position measurement, this probe delivers verified performance.

These specifications ensure the probe meets exact application demands. Note that operation at a more positive voltage than -23.5 Vdc can reduce linear range. The supply sensitivity is less than 2 mV change per volt change, ensuring stable output. For any unspecified parameter, refer to the official datasheet.
Evaluating the 330173-00-06-10-12-00 for Your System
When selecting a proximity probe, engineers must verify compatibility with existing transducers and monitors. The 330173-00-06-10-12-00 requires a -24 Vdc nominal supply and operates within a temperature range of -35°C to +177°C. Its 5mm probe diameter and M8 x 1 thread suit standard mounting interfaces. The 1.0 metre total length provides flexibility in installation. Additionally, the probe's tensile strength of 222 N ensures robust connection. For systems requiring agency approval, note that this model has option 00 (not required). Always confirm the probe's linear range with your target material and gap. This probe is designed for use with Bently Nevada 3300 series proximitor sensors and extension cables.

Installation and Maintenance Guidelines
Proper installation is critical for accurate measurements. Mount the probe using the recommended torque of 5.1 N·m (45 in·lb) and do not exceed 7.3 N·m (65 in·lb). Ensure a minimum cable bend radius of 25.4 mm (1.0 in) to avoid damage. The probe case thread engagement maximum is 12 mm. For maintenance, inspect periodically for wear and environmental exposure. Avoid temperatures below -34°C, which may cause premature pressure seal failure. Regular verification of output voltage and resistance helps detect degradation. Always follow the manufacturer's safety manual for safety-rated applications.
