Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330104-01-17-05-01 is a cornerstone component within the world-renowned 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Transducer System. Designed for critical turbomachinery protection, this probe provides highly accurate, non-contact measurement of radial vibration and position. As a leading supplier of industrial automation spare parts, we ensure that every 330104-01-17-05-01 unit we stock is a genuine Bently Nevada part, fully traceable and calibrated to meet the rigorous standards of the energy, oil & gas, and manufacturing industries.

Engineers rely on this specific configuration for its exceptional linearity and temperature stability, even in the harshest industrial environments. Whether you are looking to replace a failed sensor or performing a scheduled system overhaul, buying the 330104-01-17-05-01 ensures your rotating equipment—such as turbines, compressors, and pumps—remains under constant, reliable surveillance.

Key Features

• Non-Contact Sensing: Eliminates wear and tear by measuring displacement without physical interaction with the shaft.

• Linearity and Accuracy: The 3300 XL system is optimized for precise readings, ensuring that machine faults are detected before they lead to catastrophic failure.

• Advanced Shielding: Improved radio frequency interference (RFI) immunity compared to older series, ensuring data integrity in high-EMI plant environments.

• Extended Temperature Range: Rated for operation in extreme process temperatures, making it ideal for high-pressure steam turbines and gas compressors.

• Simplified Installation: The 3300 XL series features a "ClickLoc" connector that prevents improper tightening and ensures consistent connection quality.

Technical Specifications

Model Configuration Explanation

The 330104-01-17-05-01 part number is highly specific:

• 330104: 8mm Probe, 3/8-24 UNF thread, without armor.

• 01: Unthreaded length (Standard).

• 17: Overall case length (170mm).

• 05: Total length (5 meters).

• 01: Connector type (Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with connector protector).

Typical Applications

• Steam and Gas Turbines: Monitoring shaft vibration to detect rotor unbalance or misalignment.

• Centrifugal Compressors: Ensuring critical displacement thresholds are maintained.

• Large Electric Motors and Generators: Providing early warning for bearing wear.

• Hydraulic Pumps: Real-time monitoring of shaft position.

• General Rotating Machinery: Essential component for standard TSI (Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation) panels.

System Compatibility

The 330104-01-17-05-01 is fully compatible with all Bently Nevada 3300 and 3300 XL monitor systems. It is designed to work in conjunction with the 3300 XL extension cable and the 3300 XL Proximitor sensor. When upgrading from older 3300-series probes, this unit serves as a direct, drop-in replacement that meets modern industry standards.

Installation Guidelines

1. Preparation: Ensure the machine is in a "safe state." Clean the mounting hole to ensure no metallic debris interferes with the probe's electromagnetic field.

2. Gap Setting: Using the appropriate gap-setting tool, set the proximity probe distance from the shaft (typically 1.27mm / 50 mils).

3. Cable Routing: Use shielded cable pathways to prevent signal noise. Ensure the extension cable is secured using cable ties to prevent fatigue.

4. Verification: Once connected to the Proximitor sensor, use a multimeter or the monitor rack interface to verify the gap voltage (typically -10V DC at the center of the linear range).

Product Advantages

Choosing the genuine Bently Nevada 330104-01-17-05-01 provides long-term peace of mind. While cheaper generic alternatives exist, they often suffer from signal drift and poor RFI protection, which can trigger nuisance alarms or, worse, miss critical machine failures. Our genuine parts guarantee the exact electrical output required for your PLC or DCS integration.
