Bently Nevada 330101-00-36-05-02-05 3300 XL 8 mm Probe

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the 330101-00-36-05-02-05 are listed below for quick reference:

Industry Applications for Reliable Machine Protection

Its 2 mm linear range and high sensitivity (7.87 V/mm) allow precise detection of shaft movement. The CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals make it suitable for use in hazardous environments such as oil and gas refineries, chemical plants, and power generation facilities. The robust PPS tip and stainless steel case withstand harsh conditions, reducing unplanned downtime.

Installation and Setup Guidance

Mount the probe using the 3/8-24 UNF thread into a properly tapped hole. Ensure the target surface is clean and electrically continuous. For radial vibration, set the recommended gap to -9 Vdc (approximately 1.27 mm or 50 mils). Use the supplied miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector for secure cable attachment. Field wiring should use 3-conductor shielded triad cable (16 to 24 AWG) with a maximum length of 305 meters (1,000 feet) to the Proximitor sensor. Verify the probe resistance: for a 0.5 meter probe, the nominal DC resistance is 7.45 ± 0.50 ohms.

Maintenance and Reliability

Inspect the probe and cable periodically for physical damage or contamination. The probe is designed to seal differential pressure with a Viton O-ring; avoid exposing it to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F) to prevent pressure seal failure. The probe can operate in up to 93% humidity with less than 3% change in Average Scale Factor. For extended temperature range applications, the probe tip can withstand up to +218°C (+425°F).

Robust Vibration Monitoring with the Bently Nevada 330101-00-36-05-02-05

The Bently Nevada 330101-00-36-05-02-05 is a 3300 XL 8 mm probe designed for reliable eddy-current vibration and position measurement in critical rotating machinery. This non-contact sensor uses a 3/8-24 UNF thread and comes without armor, making it suitable for standard industrial environments. Its patented TipLoc molding and CableLoc design provide enhanced mechanical strength, with a pull strength of 330 N (75 lbf). The probe tip is encapsulated in molded PPS plastic for ruggedness, and the case is made of AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel. This model includes a 0.5 meter cable with a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector and carries CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals for hazardous area use.

Compatibility and Integration

This probe works with Bently Nevada 3300 XL extension cables and Proximitor sensors. The miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector ensures a reliable, quick connection. The system provides a standard Incremental Scale Factor of 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil) with ±5% interchangeability error over the linear range from 0°C to +45°C.

Selection Guide and Purchasing Advice

When selecting a probe, consider the required cable length, thread type, and environmental approvals. The 330101-00-36-05-02-05 is a versatile choice for standard applications needing a 0.5 meter cable and hazardous area certification.
