Applications
The Bently Nevada 330141-08-90-01-05 excels in critical rotating machinery such as steam turbines, compressors, and large pumps. Its armored construction and FluidLoc option (for liquid leakage prevention) make it ideal for oil-lubricated bearings and environments where oil or coolant leaks are common. With a scale factor of 7.87 V/mm, it provides precise gap measurements for protection and monitoring systems.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Mount the probe using the manufacturer’s recommended clearance and gap settings. For the 9.0 meter cable, ensure a clean routing path to avoid kinks. The ClickLoc connector simplifies installation; push until it clicks and secure the connector protector. Calibrate using a target of AISI 4140 steel. Verify incremental scale factor at mounting.
Maintenance & Reliability
The probe's Viton O-ring seals differential pressure, but it is not pressure tested before shipment – avoid over-torquing. Inspect the cable periodically for cuts or abrasions. Do not expose to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F) to preserve the pressure seal. The patented CableLoc provides 330 N pull strength, reducing cable breakage risk. Regularly check for fluid leaks if using standard cable; consider the FluidLoc option for harsh environments.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
When ordering the Bently Nevada 330141-08-90-01-05, verify your total length and connector preferences. This model includes the 01 connector option (ClickLoc) and 05 agency approval (CSA, ATEX, IECEx). For extreme temperatures, ensure you select the extended temperature range probe.
