Product Overview
When vibration and position measurement must remain accurate in severe industrial conditions, the Bently Nevada 330174-00-03-10-02-CN delivers reliable performance. This 3300 5mm Probe with M8 x 1 thread and armor is manufactured in the U.S.A. The configuration includes an unthreaded length of 0 mm, a 30 mm overall case length, and a 1.0 metre (3.3 feet) total length. A miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector secures the standard cable, while the country-specific agency approval (CN) matches regional requirements.

Applications for Harsh Environments
A 5mm proximity probe like the Bently Nevada 330174-00-03-10-02-CN measures shaft position and vibration without contact. This suits rotating machinery where early detection of instability prevents costly downtime. The armored construction protects the probe from impact damage, while the stainless steel case resists corrosion in process environments. For systems that already use the 3300 monitoring platform, this spare part integrates with minimal engineering effort.
Installation & Mounting Guidance
Proper installation is critical for measurement accuracy. For the Bently Nevada 330174-00-03-10-02-CN, follow the factory torque recommendations. Tighten the probe case to 5.1 N·m (45 in·lb) recommended and never exceed 7.3 N·m (65 in·lb). The M8 x 1 thread allows a maximum engagement of 12 mm, so avoid forcing the probe beyond that limit. When routing the cable, maintain a bend radius of at least 25.4 mm (1.0 in) to prevent internal conductor damage. The connector-to-connector torque must stay below 0.565 N·m (0.42 ft·lbf).
Maintenance & Reliability Considerations
Prolong the service life of the 330174-00-03-10-02-CN by respecting the environmental limits. The probe operates from -35°C to +177°C; exposing it to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F) may damage the pressure seal. The PPS tip and AISI 304 stainless steel case resist common chemical and mechanical wear. When handling the probe, remember that each lead connection is rated for 222 N (50 lbf) tensile strength. Check cables for excessive bending or pulling during routine maintenance. The low sensitivity to 60 Hz magnetic fields keeps signal quality high even near motors.
Buying Guide
Before ordering, verify that your system requires a 5mm probe with M8 x 1 thread, 0 mm unthreaded length, 30 mm case length, and 1.0 metre cable. Confirm the country-specific approval option (CN) matches your installation site.
