Bently Nevada 330101-00-48-10-02-05

Product Overview: The 330101 series is a probe component within the Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8mm eddy current sensor system. It features a 3/8-24 UNF imperial thread mounting configuration with a non-armored standard cable design. This probe achieves non-contact displacement and vibration measurement through the eddy current principle, outputting a voltage signal proportional to the gap between the probe tip and the target conductor surface. It is widely used for shaft vibration, shaft position, keyphasor, and speed measurement on sleeve bearing machinery.

Working Principle: When high-frequency current flows through the internal coil of the probe, an alternating magnetic field is generated around the probe tip. When a conductive metal surface (such as a rotating shaft) enters this magnetic field, eddy currents are induced on the metal surface. These eddy currents generate a reverse magnetic field that alters the impedance of the probe coil. The proximitor detects this impedance change and converts it into a DC voltage signal proportional to the gap distance. The smaller the gap, the more negative the output voltage; the larger the gap, the closer the output voltage approaches zero.
Installation Requirements:
  • The total length of probe cable plus extension cable must match the nominal system length of the proximitor (5-meter or 9-meter system)
  • The mounting threaded hole must be pre-machined to ensure smooth thread engagement
  • The probe mounting bracket must have sufficient rigidity; flexible connections are strictly prohibited
  • The target shaft surface must be smooth, scratch-free, and free of plating, with surface roughness better than 1.6μm
  • Gap voltage must be set to -10.0 VDC ± 0.2V under static (cold) conditions
Usage Precautions:
  • Never insert or remove probe connectors while energized
  • Coaxial cables must not be bent at right angles; the minimum bending radius must be maintained, otherwise the cable capacitance value changes causing measurement deviation
  • Extension cable shielding must be grounded at a single point only; multi-point grounding creating ground loops is strictly prohibited
  • Signal cables must be kept away from high-voltage power cables with a minimum separation of 30cm
  • Regularly verify probe linearity using a TK-3E calibration instrument
  • Recommended installation torque is 1.7 to 2.3 N·m; overtightening damages the internal coil
