Mounting and Installation
For proper installation of the Bently Nevada 330172-00-26-10-02-00 probe, follow these guidelines: Use a #3 or larger tap drill for mounting holes. The maximum thread engagement length is 0.375 in. Recommended probe case torque is 5.1 N·m (45 in·lb), with a maximum of 7.3 N·m (65 in·lb). Maintain a minimum cable bend radius of 25.4 mm (1.0 in) to avoid damage. The connector option on this unit is a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with standard cable.
Reliability and Environmental Considerations
The Bently Nevada 330172-00-26-10-02-00 probe is built for reliability in demanding conditions. The probe tip uses polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) and the case is AISI 304 stainless steel. Temperature classifications cover a wide ambient range from -55°C to +232°C depending on EPL rating. Exposure to temperatures below -34°C may affect the pressure seal. The probe is also designed to withstand 60 Hz magnetic fields up to 300 Gauss. Upgrading to this model reduces false readings and extends service life compared to older designs.
Selection and Ordering Assistance
When selecting the Bently Nevada 330172-00-26-10-02-00 probe, verify that your system requires a 5mm probe with 1/4-28 UNF thread and a total length of 1.0 meter. This unit features a 0 in unthreaded length, 2.6 in overall case length, and no agency approval.
