Bently Nevada 330173-00-05-10-12-00 3300 Series Eddy-Current Proximity Probe

FAQ

Q1: What is the Bently Nevada 330173-00-05-10-12-00 used for?
A1: It is a 3300 Series 5 mm eddy-current proximity probe used for precise, non-contact measurement of shaft vibration and displacement in industrial machinery monitoring systems.

Q2: What does the “05” in the model number mean?
A2: “05” designates the overall rigid probe body length option of approximately 50 mm.

Q3: How long is the cable on this probe?
A3: The integral cable length is approximately 1.0 meter (code “10”), providing flexibility in connecting to proximitor or monitoring electronics.

Q4: What type of connector does this probe use?
A4: It uses a miniature coaxial ClickLoc™ connector (code “12”), which offers secure and reliable field connections.

Q5: What sensing range can this probe measure?
A5: The typical linear sensing range for a 5 mm 3300 series probe is roughly 0.25 mm to 2.0 mm from the target surface, depending on system gap settings.

Q6: What environments can this probe withstand?
A6: It is designed for industrial environments and can operate over a wide temperature range from about –40 °C up to +177 °C with rugged construction.

Q7: What signal output does this probe provide?
A7: The probe produces an analog voltage proportional to the target gap. This raw output must be conditioned by a proximitor or monitoring electronics.

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, if necessary, extension cables and monitoring electronics to condition, process, and analyze the probe signal.
