Bently Nevada 330101-00-18-10-02-05 3300 XL 8 mm Probe, 3/8-24 UNF Thread

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the 330101-00-18-10-02-05 are listed below for quick reference:

Application in Rotating Machinery

With a linear range of 2 mm (80 mils) and a recommended gap setting of -9 Vdc (approximately 1.27 mm), it provides precise measurement for early fault detection. The patented TipLoc and CableLoc designs enhance mechanical robustness, reducing the risk of probe failure in demanding conditions. This reliability directly translates to lower maintenance costs and reduced unplanned downtime.

Installation Guidance for Engineers

When installing the 330101-00-18-10-02-05, ensure the probe tip is properly positioned within the linear range (0.25 to 2.3 mm from target). Use field wiring of 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (16 to 24 AWG) with a 3-conductor shielded triad cable. The maximum distance between the Proximitor sensor and monitor is 305 meters (1,000 feet). Avoid exposing the probe to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F) to prevent premature pressure seal failure.

Maintenance and Reliability

Periodically inspect the probe cable and connector for damage, especially in high-vibration environments. The probe's Viton O-ring seal maintains differential pressure integrity. For applications with high humidity, note that the Average Scale Factor changes less than 3% after 56 days at 93% humidity per IEC 68-2-3. This stability ensures long-term measurement accuracy.

Reliable Vibration Monitoring with the Bently Nevada 330101-00-18-10-02-05

From a maintenance engineer's perspective, the Bently Nevada 330101-00-18-10-02-05 is a 3300 XL 8 mm probe designed for robust, accurate vibration measurement in rotating machinery. This probe features a 3/8-24 UNF thread and comes without armor, making it suitable for standard industrial environments where physical protection is not required. Its primary function is to convert mechanical displacement into a proportional DC voltage signal for monitoring and protection systems.

Compatibility and Integration

The 330101-00-18-10-02-05 is part of the 3300 XL series and works with Bently Nevada Proximitor sensors and monitoring systems. The miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector simplifies installation and provides a secure connection. The probe is available with optional FluidLoc cable for applications where liquid leakage through the cable interior must be prevented.

Selection Guidance

When selecting a replacement or new probe, verify the thread size (3/8-24 UNF) and total length (1.0 m). The 330101-00-18-10-02-05 is a standard temperature range probe (-52°C to +177°C); for higher temperatures up to +218°C at the tip, consider an Extended Temperature Range option.
