Product Overview

The 330104-07-14-05-01-00 is a specialized 8mm proximity sensor from the Bently Nevada 3300 XL series, featuring an M10x1 metric thread and a rugged armored cable design. This non-contacting transducer is engineered to monitor shaft vibration and position by generating a voltage signal relative to the gap between the probe tip and a conductive target. This specific configuration is notable for its extended physical dimensions—featuring a 70mm unthreaded section and a 140mm total case length—making it ideal for deep-reach mounting through machine housings. As a part of a Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation (TSI) suite, it provides high-precision data essential for the continuous health monitoring of critical rotating machinery.

Industrial Applications and System Utility

The 330104-07-14-05-01-00 probe is a vital asset for monitoring heavy-duty rotating equipment, particularly in power generation and hydrocarbon processing. Its extended reach and metric threading make it a primary choice for European-spec machinery, including steam and gas turbines, high-pressure pumps, and large-scale industrial motors. It excels in tracking radial shaft vibration to identify rotor imbalance and axial thrust position to prevent catastrophic internal collisions. Additionally, this probe is frequently utilized in tachometer and overspeed detection systems to provide high-resolution speed signals. Its armored cable ensures signal integrity in harsh plant environments where mechanical abrasion or chemical exposure could compromise standard sensor wiring.
