Product Overview

The 330104-06-14-05-02-05 is a ruggedized 8mm proximity transducer from the Bently Nevada 3300 XL series, featuring M10 x 1 metric threads and integrated stainless steel armor. This non-contacting sensor is designed to detect high-frequency vibration and precise shaft positioning by establishing an eddy current field against a conductive metal target. Built for longevity, the probe tip utilizes molded polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) plastic for superior coil encapsulation, protecting the internal electronics from the harsh oils and chemical exposure typical of industrial machinery. As a key component of a Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation (TSI) system, this probe ensures that critical rotation data is captured and transmitted with high fidelity to monitoring racks without the need for manual bench calibration.

Asset Monitoring and Industrial Deployment

This armored proximity sensor is primarily utilized in the power generation, petrochemical, and manufacturing sectors to safeguard high-value rotating assets. The 140mm case length and armored lead-out make it particularly effective for deep-reach mounting in bearing housings where mechanical abrasion or debris could damage standard sensor wiring. It is expertly applied to monitor radial shaft vibration, axial thrust position, and Keyphasor speed signals on machinery such as steam turbines, centrifugal compressors, and large-scale industrial motors. By providing deterministic data to Bently Nevada 3500 series monitoring systems, the 330104-06-14-05-02-05 enables automated safety shutdowns and sophisticated condition-based maintenance strategies, significantly reducing the risk of catastrophic equipment failure.
