Bently Nevada 330101-00-59-15-12-05 3300 XL 8 mm Probe

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the 330101-00-59-15-12-05 are listed below for quick reference:

Measurement Performance

The linear range is 2 mm (80 mils), beginning at approximately 0.25 mm (10 mils) from the target and extending to 2.3 mm (90 mils). The recommended gap setting for radial vibration is -9 Vdc, approximately 1.27 mm (50 mils). The incremental scale factor (ISF) for a standard 5 or 1 meter system is 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil) ± 5% including interchangeability error, measured over the 80 mil linear range from 0°C to +45°C (+32°F to +113°F).

Industry Applications

Its robust construction and high pull strength make it suitable for applications with moderate mechanical shock or vibration. The FluidLoc cable option is particularly valuable in oil-lubricated machinery where leaks must be prevented.

Installation & Setup Guidance

When installing, ensure the probe tip is clean and free of debris. Use the recommended gap setting of -9 Vdc for radial vibration applications. Field wiring should use 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (16 to 24 AWG) 3-conductor shielded triad cable with tinned wiring, with a maximum length of 305 meters (1,000 feet) between the Proximitor Sensor and the monitor. Refer to the frequency response graphs for signal rolloff at high frequencies when using longer cable lengths.

Maintenance & Reliability

The probe is designed for long-term reliability. Inspect the probe and cable periodically for physical damage or wear. The probe temperature range for standard probes is -52°C to +177°C (-62°F to +350°F). Exposing the probe to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F) may cause premature failure of the pressure seal. The probe is designed to seal differential pressure using a Viton O-ring; contact the custom design department if pressure testing is required.

Robust Vibration Monitoring with the Bently Nevada 330101-00-59-15-12-05

When protecting critical rotating machinery, the choice of proximity probe directly impacts measurement reliability and uptime. The Bently Nevada 330101-00-59-15-12-05 is a 3300 XL 8 mm probe designed for demanding industrial environments. This probe features a 3/8-24 UNF thread and is supplied without armor, making it suitable for applications where space and weight are considerations.

Key Design Enhancements for Durability

This probe incorporates patented TipLoc and CableLoc technologies. The TipLoc molding method creates a stronger bond between the probe tip and body, while the CableLoc design provides 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength to secure the cable and tip. An optional FluidLoc cable option prevents oil or other liquids from leaking out of the machine through the cable interior. The 8 mm diameter allows for a thicker encapsulation of the probe coil in molded PPS plastic, resulting in a more rugged probe that withstands physical abuse.

Compatibility & Integration

This probe is part of the 3300 XL system and is compatible with 3300 XL Proximitor Sensors and extension cables. The miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector ensures secure and quick connections. The probe is approved under CSA, ATEX, and IECEx standards for use in hazardous locations.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

When selecting a probe, consider the thread size, cable length, and environmental requirements. The 330101-00-59-15-12-05 offers a 1.5 meter cable and FluidLoc option for leak prevention.
