Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330104-05-17-10-11-05 8 mm Proximity Probe is a critical component within the globally recognized 3300 XL Transducer System. Designed for high-reliability vibration and position monitoring, this sensor is the industry standard for protecting rotating machinery from catastrophic failure. Whether you are performing scheduled maintenance on steam turbines or retrofitting critical compressors, this probe provides the precise, non-contact measurement data required by modern condition monitoring architectures.

When you buy 330104-05-17-10-11-05 from Maxwell PLC, you are choosing a certified, genuine Bently Nevada part that ensures compatibility with your existing TSI (Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation) or SIS (Safety Instrumented System). As a specialized industrial automation spare parts supplier, we understand the importance of accuracy in mission-critical applications, ensuring every unit is factory-tested and ready for immediate deployment.

Key Features

• Precision Engineering: Built to measure radial vibration and axial position with sub-micron accuracy.

• API 670 Standard: Fully compliant with the American Petroleum Institute’s requirements for machine protection systems.

• Environmental Durability: Engineered to withstand high-temperature environments (up to 177°C) and harsh industrial chemical exposure.

• Enhanced Signal Integrity: Features advanced shielding that minimizes interference from radio frequency and electromagnetic sources, common in large power plants.

• Long-Term Stability: Optimized for continuous operation, reducing the need for frequent recalibration and minimizing unplanned downtime.

Technical Specifications

Model Configuration Explanation

The 330104-05-17-10-11-05 part number is specifically formatted to ensure the correct mechanical fitment:

• 330104: 8 mm proximity probe with 3/8-24 threads.

• 05: Unthreaded length of 0.5 inches.

• 17: Total case length of 1.7 inches.

• 10: Thread length of 1.0 inches.

• 11: Connector/Cable configuration for specific installation constraints.

• 05: 0.5-meter total probe length (standard).

Typical Applications

This probe is widely utilized across heavy industry sectors, including:

• Power Generation: Monitoring shaft vibration on steam and gas turbines.

• Hydroelectric Facilities: Tracking turbine position and blade displacement.

• Oil & Gas Refineries: Protecting high-speed centrifugal compressors and pumps.

• Manufacturing & Steel: Predictive maintenance for heavy-duty gearboxes and cooling towers.

System Compatibility

The 330104-05-17-10-11-05 is designed to operate seamlessly with the Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor. It is backward compatible with various 3300-series monitor cards (e.g., 3500/42M), provided the system is calibrated for the 8 mm probe frequency. Always ensure the extension cable matches the probe’s connector type to maintain the specified impedance.

Installation Guidelines

1. Mounting: Ensure the probe is mounted in a dedicated, rigid bracket. Vibrations in the mounting hardware can introduce false signals.

2. Gap Adjustment: Utilize a feeler gauge or the monitoring system’s voltage readout to set the probe at the specified gap (typically -10V).

3. Cable Handling: Protect the coaxial cable from excessive bending or kinking. Use provided armor options if the cable will be exposed to mechanical stress.

4. Verification: Conduct a static and dynamic loop test to verify linearity across the full measurement range after installation.

Product Advantages

• High Reliability: Proven performance in thousands of installations globally.

• Market Availability: As a dedicated 330104-05-17-10-11-05 supplier, Maxwell PLC offers shorter lead times than traditional factory channels.

• Safety: Genuine Bently Nevada parts reduce the risk of false alarms or missed failure triggers in critical safety loops.
