FAQ

Q1: What is the Bently Nevada 330173-00-02-20-02-05 used for?
A1: It is a 3300 Series 5 mm eddy-current proximity probe for non-contact measurement of shaft vibration and displacement in industrial condition monitoring systems.

Q2: What does the “20” in the model number indicate?
A2: It refers to the overall rigid probe body length of approximately 20 mm.

Q3: How long is the cable supplied with this probe?
A3: The integral cable length is approximately 2.0 meters (±20 %).

Q4: What type of connector does this probe use?
A4: It uses a miniature coaxial ClickLoc™ connector, typically gold-plated brass for reliable connection.

Q5: What is the linear sensing range of this probe?
A5: It typically measures from about 0.25 mm to 2.3 mm, with the most linear range around ~1.27 mm gap.

Q6: What environmental conditions is it built for?
A6: The probe is designed for industrial machinery environments and can operate from –40 °C up to around +177 °C.

Q7: What materials are used in the construction?
A7: The probe body uses corrosion-resistant stainless steel (AISI 303/304), and the sensing tip uses PPS material.

Q8: What additional components are needed to use this probe?
A8: To form a complete measurement system, you need a compatible proximitor conditioning sensor and monitoring electronics to condition the raw signal and analyze the data.
