Configured for high-reliability sensing in turbomachinery, this integrated probe provides direct physical and electrical execution of eddy-current signal sensing. It converts the distance between the probe tip and the conductive target into a voltage signal proportional to the gap, facilitating rotor dynamics analysis and machine protection without signal attenuation in challenging industrial environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuffix Breakdown \u0026amp; Model Matrix\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 330881-28-11-265-00-02 assembly is defined by the following technical configuration parameters:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-paddingleft-2\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e28: Probe mount and configuration style\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e11: Case length (110 mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e265: Total length (26.5 meters)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e00: Connector interface specification\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e02: Agency certification and calibration grouping\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHardware Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"firstRow\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eModel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e330881-28-11-265-00-02\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrand\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBently Nevada\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOrigin\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUSA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1.15 kg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShipping Dimensions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e40 x 35 x 20 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOperating Temp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-35 deg C to +85 deg C\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePower Consumption\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePassive (Loop powered via integrated circuitry)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProbe Diameter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e8 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLinear Range\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2.0 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMechanical Monitoring \u0026amp; TSI Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PROXPAC XL transducer system utilizes precise eddy-current probe scaling to ensure linear output relative to shaft distance. During system commissioning, gap voltage validation is mandatory; installers must target -10 VDC when the probe is positioned at the midpoint of its linear range. Rotor dynamics analysis depends on this precise gap setting to accurately capture radial vibration vectors and shaft centerline movement. Signal integrity is maintained through calibrated impedance matching within the integrated Proximitor circuitry, effectively suppressing cross-talk interference in multi-channel monitoring arrays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOrdering Info\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-paddingleft-2\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e330881 PROXPAC XL Proximity Transducer assembly\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProtective connector thread caps\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct documentation and installation manual\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: Mounting adapters and junction boxes are required for field completion and must be ordered according to machine casing geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eField Installation Guidelines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-paddingleft-2\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGap Setting: Utilize a calibrated feeler gauge or depth micrometer to establish the probe gap;
