Bently Nevada 330930-040-01-00

  • Product Overview: The 330930-040-01-00 is a 4.0-meter armored extension cable within the Bently Nevada 3300 XL NSv proximity sensor system. The “01” in the armor option position indicates the presence of stainless steel armor, providing enhanced mechanical protection for installations in harsh industrial environments where the cable is exposed to physical stress, oil, or chemical exposure.

    • Compatibility: 3300 XL NSv proximity probes and 330980 NSv Proximitor sensors
  • Functional Features:
    • Stainless steel armor provides crush resistance and protection against mechanical damage
    • ClickLoc locking connectors prevent accidental disconnection
    • Low-noise coaxial construction shields eddy current signals from EMI
    • Fully interchangeable within the 3300 XL NSv system without individual calibration
    • Suitable for harsh environments with oil, coolant, or chemical exposure
  • Application Scenarios:
    • Industrial compressors in oil and gas processing facilities
    • Chemical plant rotating equipment where cable exposure to corrosive substances is a concern
    • Power generation auxiliary machinery (feedwater pumps, condensate pumps)
    • Steel mill and metallurgical plant rotating equipment
  • Performance Parameters:
    • System sensitivity (when paired with NSv probe and Proximitor): 7.87 mV/μm (200 mV/mil) ± 6.5%
    • Linear range (system dependent): 0.5 to 1.75 mm (20 to 55 mil)
    • Frequency response: 0 to 10 kHz
    • Signal attenuation at 1 kHz: less than 1%
    • Signal attenuation at 10 kHz: less than 5%
  • Material Composition:
    • Low-noise coaxial cable with stainless steel braided armor
    • ClickLoc miniature coaxial connectors with gold-plated contacts
    • Industrial-grade outer jacket over armor layer
  • Structural Features:
    • Stainless steel armored construction for mechanical protection
    • Factory-terminated connectors on both ends
    • Retains compact diameter despite armor layer for routing in confined spaces
  • Working Principle:
    • Identical to the non-armored variant — the extension cable carries the high-frequency eddy current excitation signal from the Proximitor to the NSv probe and returns the gap-proportional modulated signal. The armor layer provides mechanical protection without affecting the electrical characteristics of the inner coaxial structure.
  • Installation Requirements:
    • Route armored cable through conduit or cable tray where additional protection is needed
    • Maintain minimum bending radius of 45 mm
    • Ground the armor shield at one end only to prevent ground loops
    • Ensure connector connections are fully seated and locked
    • Total system length must match the Proximitor configuration
  • Usage Notes:
    • The armored variant is heavier than the non-armored version — account for this in cable support calculations
    • Do not use the armor as a substitute for proper grounding — follow Bently Nevada grounding practices
    • Verify that the armor option is required for the installation environment; non-armored cables are sufficient for clean, protected installations
