Industry Applications
The 2 mm (80 mils) linear range and 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil) incremental scale factor (ISF) ensure precise measurement of shaft displacement. The robust PPS tip and stainless steel case withstand harsh environments, reducing unplanned downtime.
Installation & Setup Guidance
When installing the 330101-00-27-10-02-CN, follow these best practices:
- Use the recommended gap setting of -9 Vdc (approximately 1.27 mm or 50 mils) for radial vibration applications.
- Ensure field wiring uses 3-conductor shielded triad cable, 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (16 to 24 AWG), with a maximum length of 305 meters (1,000 feet) to the monitor.
- Avoid exposing the probe to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F) to prevent premature failure of the pressure seal.
- The probe is not pressure tested before shipment; contact the custom design department if pressure seal testing is required.
Maintenance & Reliability
From a service perspective, the 330101-00-27-10-02-CN requires minimal maintenance. Inspect the probe cable and connector periodically for damage. The patented TipLoc and CableLoc designs provide a robust bond and 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength, enhancing reliability. The probe operates reliably in up to 93% humidity with less than 3% change in Average Scale Factor (ASF) when tested per IEC 68-2-3 for up to 56 days.
Compatibility & Integration
This probe is designed for use with Bently Nevada 3300 XL extension cables and Proximitor sensors. The miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector ensures secure, quick connections. For optimal performance, maintain the standard system length (1.0 m probe) with an ISF of 7.87 V/mm ±5% over the 0°C to +45°C range.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
When selecting the 330101-00-27-10-02-CN, confirm your machine’s thread type (3/8-24 UNF) and required cable length. Please verify current lifecycle status and availability with AutoDCSTech before ordering.
