This 5 mm proximity probe is engineered for non-contact displacement and vibration monitoring in industrial rotating machinery. The system functions by generating an electromagnetic field that detects variations in the gap between the probe tip and a metallic target surface. As part of a complete transducer loop, this probe maintains precise impedance matching with the extension cable and Proximitor sensor, ensuring measurement linearity across the defined operating range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"table\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e330171-00-32-05-01-05\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBently Nevada\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.15 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35.0 x 5.0 x 5.0 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-51 deg C to +177 deg C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDetermined by Proximitor supply\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTip Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLinear Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncremental Scale Factor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.87 V\/mm (200 mV\/mil)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBrand-Specific Technical Block\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3300 series system utilizes eddy current probe scaling to convert target proximity into a proportional voltage signal. Achieving measurement accuracy requires gap voltage validation, where technicians must verify a -10 VDC bias at the midpoint of the mechanical range. This standard reference ensures the transducer output remains within the linear region for both DC gap position and AC vibration signal processing. Consistent rotor dynamics monitoring is dependent on this calibration. Cross-talk suppression is maintained by adhering to physical spacing standards to prevent electromagnetic interference between adjacent probe fields, which can induce measurement errors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOrdering Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x 330171-00-32-05-01-05 5 mm Proximity Probe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Mounting nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Connector protector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Calibration data sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Guidelines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrounding: The cable shield must be grounded only at the monitoring system end to prevent ground loop currents that interfere with low-level signal integrity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWiring: Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of 25 mm for the coaxial cable to avoid characteristic impedance variations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShielding: Route the probe coaxial cable in a dedicated conduit separate from high-power AC lines to prevent induced noise.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanical Mounting: Secure the probe in a rigid, vibration-resistant mount.
