Industry Applications
The Bently Nevada 330171-00-16-10-01-05 excels in monitoring vibration and displacement in steam turbines, centrifugal compressors, pumps, and fans. Its 1/4-28 UNF thread allows easy mounting in existing ports, making it a straightforward upgrade for older 5mm probes. The PPS tip resists chemical attack, ideal for harsh environments.
Installation & Setup Guidance
When mounting the 330171-00-16-10-01-05, use a #3 or larger tap drill for the 1/4-28 thread. The maximum thread engagement is 0.375 in. Apply a recommended torque of 5.1 N·m (45 in·lb) to the probe case, and do not exceed 7.3 N·m (65 in·lb). Use the miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector to secure the cable, ensuring the connector-to-connector torque does not exceed 0.565 N·m (0.42 ft·lbf). Maintain a cable bend radius of at least 25.4 mm (1.0 in).
Maintenance & Reliability
Operate the probe within the temperature range of -35°C to +177°C. Avoid exposure below -34°C (-30°F) to prevent pressure seal failure. The probe cable is 75 Ω triaxial FEP insulated, offering excellent resistance to moisture and chemicals. Regularly inspect the cable for cuts or kinks, and ensure the connector protector is intact. The probe case stainless steel construction resists corrosion, reducing maintenance intervals.
Selection Guide
Before purchasing, confirm the required total length (1.0 metre standard) and connector type. The 330171-00-16-10-01-05 comes with a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector. For systems needing high magnetic field immunity, note the 60 Hz magnetic field effects are minimal (see datasheet). PLC Source PRO offers this genuine Bently Nevada probe with fast shipping. Verify your existing system voltage (-17.5 Vdc to -26 Vdc) and load requirements to ensure compatibility.
