Bently Nevada 330172-00-28-10-02-00 3300 Series 5 mm Eddy-Current Proximity Probe

FAQ

Q1: What is the Bently Nevada 330172-00-28-10-02-00 used for?
A1: It is a 5 mm eddy-current proximity probe designed to measure shaft vibration and displacement without physical contact, used in industrial machine condition monitoring systems.

Q2: What does the “28” in the model number signify?
A2: “28” refers to the overall rigid body length of the probe, approximately 28 mm.

Q3: How long is the cable on this probe?
A3: The integral cable is approximately 1.0 meter long, as indicated by the “10” code segment.

Q4: What type of connector does this probe use?
A4: It uses a miniature coaxial ClickLoc™ connector (“02”), which provides a reliable connection to extension cables or proximitor inputs.

Q5: What is the typical sensing range of this probe?
A5: It typically measures linearly from about 0.25 mm up to around 2.3 mm from the target surface, depending on gap settings.

Q6: What environments can this probe operate in?
A6: It is built for industrial environments and can operate across a wide temperature range from about –35 °C to +177 °C.

Q7: What kind of signal output does this probe provide?
A7: The probe produces an analog voltage proportional to the gap between the tip and the target; this raw signal is conditioned by a proximitor or monitoring electronics.

Q8: Do I need additional components to use this probe?
A8: Yes — it must be connected to a compatible proximitor sensor and, if necessary, extension cable and monitoring hardware to condition and interpret the signal.
