Product Introduction
When false vibration readings lead to unnecessary downtime, the Bently Nevada 330709-000-080-10-01-05 3300 XL 11 mm Proximity Probes provide accurate, repeatable measurements. This probe is designed for non-contact displacement sensing in rotating machinery, featuring a robust M16×1.5 thread case and a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip for durability. The 330709-000-080-10-01-05 offers a 1.0 m cable with a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector, ensuring stable signal transmission in harsh industrial environments.
Technical Specifications Breakdown
Key parameters from the Bently Nevada 330709-000-080-10-01-05 include a probe DC resistance of 5.9 ± 0.5 ohms for the 1.0 m length, with a 75 Ω triaxial FEP-insulated cable. The probe case material is AISI 304 stainless steel, and the tip is PPS. Temperature range spans -52°C to +177°C, with a warning against prolonged exposure below -34°C. The recommended minimum target diameter is 30.5 mm for flat surfaces and 152 mm for shaft diameter. These specs ensure reliable performance in turbine, compressor, and pump monitoring applications.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Proper installation of the 330709-000-080-10-01-05 begins with verifying the unthreaded length (0 mm) and overall case length (80 mm). Apply torque of 63.3 N·m for the M16×1.5 probe case. The connector-to-connector torque should be finger tight, with a maximum of 0.565 N·m. Avoid bending the cable below a 25.4 mm radius to prevent internal damage. Thread engagement maximum is 24 mm. The ClickLoc connector provides a secure, vibration-resistant connection.
Maintenance & Reliability
The Bently Nevada 330709-000-080-10-01-05 requires minimal maintenance, but periodic inspection of the cable and connector for wear is recommended. Operate within the -52°C to +177°C range and avoid temperatures below -34°C to protect the pressure seal. The probe's 304 SST case resists corrosion in most industrial environments. Cross-talk is minimized by adhering to recommended target and shaft diameters, ensuring long-term measurement accuracy.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
Before purchasing the 330709-000-080-10-01-05, verify the total length option (1.0 m) and connector type (miniature coaxial ClickLoc with connector protector). This probe is suitable for applications requiring multiple approvals. For additional cable lengths (5 or 9 m), consider other options in the 3300 XL series.
