Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330180-50-CN is a high-precision Proximitor Sensor engineered for the 3300 XL series. This module serves as the primary signal conditioner for non-contacting proximity transducer systems, converting the physical gap between a probe tip and a target shaft into a stabilized linear voltage output. The "CN" designation indicates a specialized configuration typically tailored for localized industrial requirements while maintaining the core performance standards of the 3300 XL family.

This sensor is factory-calibrated for a 5.0-meter (16.4 feet) total system length. It is instrumental in Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation (TSI) for monitoring radial vibration, axial thrust position, and rotational speed on high-speed rotating assets such as steam turbines, centrifugal compressors, and industrial pumps utilizing fluid-film bearings.

Technical Characteristics and Construction

• API 670 Standard Compliance: Fully meets the American Petroleum Institute’s benchmarks for linearity, frequency response (0.5 Hz to 12 kHz), and thermal stability.

• Component Interchangeability: Designed within the 3300 XL "universal match" architecture, allowing for the complete swap of probes and extension cables without requiring manual bench calibration.

• Integrated Diagnostics: Features a built-in LED status indicator for real-time operational feedback and simplified troubleshooting in the field.

• Robust Connectivity: Equipped with secure screw-clamp terminals for reliable wiring in high-vibration industrial environments.

• Enhanced Environmental Protection: Operates across a wide temperature spectrum from -40°C to +85°C and features advanced RFI/EMI shielding to prevent signal interference in electrically noisy settings.

• Backward Compatibility: Offers seamless integration and physical interchangeability with legacy non-XL 3300 series 5 mm and 8 mm transducer components.
