Bently Nevada 330101-00-96-10-02-CN 3300 XL 8 mm Probe

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the 330101-00-96-10-02-CN are listed below for quick reference:

Real-World Applications in Rotating Machinery

Its 2 mm linear range and precise -9 Vdc gap setting allow operators to detect early signs of imbalance, misalignment, or bearing wear. The patented TipLoc molding provides a robust bond between probe tip and body, ensuring consistent readings even in high-vibration environments. By catching faults early, plants reduce unplanned downtime and extend equipment life.

Installation and Setup Guidance

Mount the probe using the 3/8-24 UNF thread into a suitable mounting block or bracket. Ensure the target surface is clean and within the recommended gap of approximately 1.27 mm (50 mils) for radial vibration measurements. Use the supplied miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector for secure cable attachment. Field wiring should use 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) between the Proximitor Sensor and monitor. Refer to frequency response graphs for signal rolloff at high frequencies with longer cable runs.

Maintenance and Reliability

The probe case is made of AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel, offering corrosion resistance in harsh industrial environments. The probe tip is molded PPS plastic for ruggedness. Standard probes operate from -52°C to +177°C. Exposing the probe to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F) may cause premature failure of the pressure seal. Periodically inspect the cable and connector for damage. The optional FluidLoc cable prevents oil leakage through the cable interior.

Precision Vibration Sensing for Critical Machinery

The Bently Nevada 330101-00-96-10-02-CN 3300 XL 8 mm Probe provided the reliable, accurate data needed to diagnose and prevent a catastrophic failure. This probe is designed for demanding rotating machinery applications where early fault detection is essential.

Compatibility and Integration

This probe is part of the 3300 XL series and works with Bently Nevada extension cables and Proximitor sensors. The standard 1.0 meter system provides an Incremental Scale Factor of 7.87 V/mm ± 5% over the linear range. For longer systems, such as 9 meter, the ISF tolerance is ± 6.5%. Ensure the total system length matches the calibration for accurate measurements.

Selection Guide and Purchasing Advice

When selecting a vibration probe, consider the required cable length, connector type, and environmental conditions. The 330101-00-96-10-02-CN offers a 1.0 meter cable with a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector and standard temperature range. For higher temperature applications, choose the Extended Temperature Range probe. AutoDCSTech stocks this model and can assist with lifecycle status and availability.
