Product Overview
The Bently Nevada 330101-00-79-15-02-05 is part of the 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System, engineered for precise vibration and position measurements in rotating machinery. It consists of a non-contact proximity probe, providing a voltage output proportional to the distance between the probe tip and a conductive surface. This model is particularly suitable for fluid-film bearing machines and supports API 670 compliance.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the purpose of the 330101-00-79-15-02-05 probe?
A1: It measures the distance between the probe tip and a rotating shaft to monitor vibration or position.
Q2: Is this probe compatible with older Bently Nevada systems?
A2: Yes, it’s fully backward compatible with non-XL 3300 5 mm and 8 mm systems.
Q3: Does this model require calibration?
A3: No component-level calibration is required due to full system interchangeability.
Q4: Can it operate in high-temperature environments?
A4: Yes, the ETR version supports up to 260°C on the cable and 218°C on the probe tip.
Q5: What is the recommended gap voltage?
A5: –9 Vdc, which typically corresponds to a 1.27 mm (50 mil) gap.
Q6: What kind of target material is it calibrated for?
A6: It is factory-calibrated to AISI 4140 steel; other materials available on request.
Q7: Can it be used for overspeed protection?
A7: It can, but with careful consideration; consult application notes.
Q8: What is the maximum probe pressure sealing capability?
A8: It features a Viton® O-ring seal but is not pressure-tested by default.
Q9: Is this probe shielded against electromagnetic interference?
A9: Yes, it meets CE mark RFI/EMI immunity requirements.
Q10: What is the minimum recommended shaft diameter for accurate readings?
A10: At least 76.2 mm (3 inches) for minimal scale factor deviation.
