330101-00-36-10-02-00 | Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm Probe

The Bently Nevada 330101-00-36-10-02-00 is a Probe for industrial control and automation applications.

Bently Nevada 330101-00-36-10-02-00 is a 3300 XL 8 mm probe with a 3/8-24 UNF thread and no armor. It features a 1.0 metre (3.3 feet) total length and a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector. This probe delivers precise radial vibration measurement for rotating machinery, and its robust design reduces long-term maintenance costs.

Key Specifications and Cost Implications

The 330101-00-36-10-02-00 offers several technical advantages that translate directly into operational savings:

• 8 mm probe body: Provides a thicker encapsulation of the probe coil in molded PPS plastic, resulting in a more rugged probe. The larger diameter also gives a stronger case, recommended for optimal robustness against physical abuse. This durability reduces replacement frequency and downtime costs.
• Patented TipLoc and CableLoc designs: TipLoc molding ensures a robust bond between tip and body, while CableLoc provides 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength. These features minimize cable failures and extend service life.
• Linear range: 2 mm (80 mils), from 0.25 to 2.3 mm (10 to 90 mils), approximately –1 to –17 Vdc. This wide range allows accurate measurement across varying machine conditions.
• Recommended gap setting: -9 Vdc (approximately 1.27 mm or 50 mils) for radial vibration, ensuring consistent and reliable data acquisition.
• Incremental scale factor: 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil) ±5% for standard 1 or 5 meter systems, including interchangeability error. This precision supports early fault detection, avoiding costly catastrophic failures.
• Probe tip material: Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) for chemical resistance and thermal stability.
• Probe case material: AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel for corrosion resistance.
• Operating temperature range: -52°C to +177°C (-62°F to +350°F) for standard probes, suitable for harsh environments.

Applications and Cost Benefits

This unit excels in condition monitoring of compressors, turbines, and pumps. Its rugged construction reduces physical damage risk, while the precise scale factor enables early detection of misalignment or imbalance. This proactive approach cuts unplanned downtime and repair expenses. The 1.0 metre length with ClickLoc connector simplifies installation, lowering labor costs.

Installation and Maintenance

Install the probe using the 3/8-24 UNF thread, ensuring the recommended gap of -9 Vdc. Use 3-conductor shielded triad cable for field wiring, with a maximum length of 305 meters (1,000 feet) between the Proximitor Sensor and monitor. Regular inspection of the probe tip and cable is advised to maintain accuracy. For pricing and availability of genuine Bently Nevada original spare parts, contact TenBN authorized distributor.
