Bently Nevada 3300/20-01-01-01-00-00

Product Overview: The 3300/20-01-01-01-00-00 is a complete 11mm eddy current proximity transducer system within the Bently Nevada 3300 XL series. It provides 4mm (160 mils) linear range with 3.94 V/mm (100 mV/mil) output, designed for applications requiring larger measurement range than the 8mm system. The 11mm probe tip provides an extended linear zone, making it suitable for axial displacement, differential expansion, and reciprocating compressor rod position measurements.

Working Principle:
Identical eddy current principle as the 8mm system — the Proximitor drives high-frequency current through the 11mm probe coil, generating an electromagnetic field. The larger probe tip diameter creates a wider measurement field, resulting in a 4mm linear range. Eddy currents induced in the conductive target modify the coil impedance proportionally to gap distance, and the Proximitor converts this to a linear voltage output.

Installation Requirements:

  • When upgrading from 7200-series system, all components must be replaced with 3300 XL 11mm components
  • Monitoring system software must be updated to recognize 3300 XL 11mm transducer
  • Set initial gap at midpoint of 4mm linear range
  • Verify Proximitor output at calibrated gap position
  • Use extension cable length matching Proximitor system designation
  • Apply connector protectors in humid environments

Usage Notes:

  • Do not mix 3300 XL 11mm components with 7200-series components
  • Verify monitoring system software version compatibility before installation
  • The 11mm system holds hazardous area installation certification
  • Target material calibration is based on AISI 4140 steel
  • Ensure adequate target surface diameter for the 11mm probe field
