Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330180-50-00 is a high-precision signal conditioning module engineered for the 3300 XL Proximity Transducer System. This specific model is configured for a 5.0-meter (16.4 feet) total system length and features a panel-mount design for secure, permanent installation in industrial control cabinets. As a fundamental part of Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation (TSI), it excites the proximity probe and converts the resulting eddy-current signals into a linear voltage output.

This Proximitor sensor provides critical data by outputting a voltage directly proportional to the distance between the probe tip and the target shaft. It is designed to capture both static position (for thrust measurement) and dynamic vibration (for radial shaft monitoring), making it indispensable for safeguarding high-value rotating assets such as turbines, compressors, and large-scale industrial pumps.

Core Technical Characteristics

• System Length Optimization: Factory-calibrated for a 5.0-meter system, ensuring signal integrity and linear accuracy when used with matched probes and extension cables.

• Plug-and-Play Interchangeability: Features advanced circuitry that allows for the total interchangeability of 3300 XL probes and cables without the need for manual bench calibration.

• Precision Measurement: Delivers repeatable and highly accurate data when targeting AISI 4140 steel, maintaining a standard scale factor of 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil).

• Robust Environmental Shielding: Designed for demanding industrial zones, the sensor housing protects internal electronics from electromagnetic interference and harsh thermal conditions.

• Machinery Protection Integration: Fully compatible with Bently Nevada 3300 and 3500 monitoring racks, supporting Keyphasor reference signals and tachometer speed measurements.

• Advanced Diagnostics: Supports integration with online condition monitoring software, facilitating predictive maintenance and providing non-volatile memory for alarm configuration.
