Bently Nevada 330101-00-15-05-01-CN 3300 XL 8 mm Probe, 3/8-24 UNF Thread

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the 330101-00-15-05-01-CN are listed below for quick reference:

Industry Applications

Its 2 mm linear range and 7.87 V/mm sensitivity enable precise shaft displacement measurement, supporting predictive maintenance programs. The robust PPS tip and stainless steel case withstand harsh conditions, reducing unplanned downtime.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Mount the probe using the 3/8-24 UNF thread into a drilled and tapped hole per Bently Nevada guidelines. Ensure the target surface is clean and within the recommended gap setting of -9 Vdc (approximately 1.27 mm or 50 mils) for radial vibration applications. Use field wiring of 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (16 to 24 AWG) with a 3-conductor shielded triad cable, keeping total length under 305 meters (1,000 feet) to maintain signal integrity.

Maintenance & Reliability

Inspect the probe cable and connector periodically for wear or damage. The patented CableLoc design provides 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength, but avoid excessive bending near the connector. For applications with oil leakage risk, consider the optional FluidLoc cable. The probe is designed to seal differential pressure with a Viton O-ring; contact AutoDCSTech if pressure testing is required.

Robust Vibration Monitoring for Critical Machinery

The Bently Nevada 330101-00-15-05-01-CN is a 3300 XL 8 mm Probe with a 3/8-24 UNF thread, designed without armor for direct installation in bearing housings and machine casings. This probe provides accurate shaft relative vibration and position measurements, essential for protecting turbines, compressors, and pumps from costly failures. Its patented TipLoc and CableLoc designs enhance mechanical integrity, offering 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength for secure cable retention.

Compatibility & Integration

This probe works with Bently Nevada 3300 XL extension cables and Proximitor sensors. The miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector ensures reliable signal transmission. The 0.5 meter cable length suits installations where the Proximitor is mounted close to the machine.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

When selecting a probe, match the thread size (3/8-24 UNF) and overall length to your machine's requirements. For higher temperatures, consider the extended temperature range probe. Verify current lifecycle status and availability with AutoDCSTech before ordering.

Troubleshooting & Common Issues

If readings are erratic, check the cable connection at the ClickLoc connector and ensure the target surface is clean. Verify the probe gap setting with a multimeter; the DC resistance from center to outer conductor should be 7.45 ± 0.50 Ω for a 0.5 meter probe. If the signal is noisy, inspect field wiring for proper shielding and grounding.
