Technical Specifications

Model Configuration Explanation

The part number 330101-00-70-10-02-00 provides precise information for system compatibility:

• 330101: Base model for 8mm 1/4-28 UNF threaded proximity probes.

• -00: Indicates 0mm of unthreaded length.

• -70: Specifies an overall case length of 70mm.

• -10: Denotes a 1.0-meter system length—an essential parameter for calibration matching.

• -02: Standard coaxial cable configuration with a ClickLoc connector.

• -00: Standard model without additional regulatory or hazardous area suffixes.

Typical Applications

• Gas and Steam Turbines: Vital for monitoring rotor vibration and bearing health in power generation.

• Centrifugal Compressors: Used to track axial thrust positions and prevent catastrophic shaft-to-casing contact.

• Industrial Pumps: Ensures alignment and balance for large-scale pumps in fluid process automation.

• Predictive Maintenance Programs: Serves as the fundamental input for condition monitoring software in heavy-duty rotating machinery.

System Compatibility

To achieve the factory-rated system accuracy, the 330101 probe must be used with a 3300 XL Proximitor calibrated for a 1.0-meter system length. This sensor integrates seamlessly into existing Bently Nevada 3300 and 3500 series monitoring racks, ensuring your plant-wide instrumentation remains consistent and easily serviceable.

Installation Guidelines

1. Thread Inspection: Ensure the 1/4-28 UNF mounting hole is clean and free of debris.

2. Gap Calibration: Insert the probe and monitor the output voltage at the Proximitor (typically targeting -1.25 Vdc at a specific gap); adjust until the machine-specific setpoint is met.

3. Locking: Utilize the provided jam nut to lock the probe in position to prevent movement due to machine vibration.

4. Connector Mating: Ensure the ClickLoc connector is pushed firmly and rotated until it snaps into place, providing a gas-tight, vibration-resistant seal.

5. Cable Routing: Maintain isolation from high-voltage cables to prevent inductive noise injection into the low-level signal loop.
