Bently Nevada 330173-10-18-10-02-00 3300 Series Eddy-Current Proximity Probe

FAQ

Q1: What is the Bently Nevada 330173-10-18-10-02-00 used for?
A1: It is a 3300 Series eddy-current proximity probe used for non-contact measurement of shaft vibration and displacement on industrial rotating machinery.

Q2: What does the “10” in the model number indicate?
A2: “10” generally represents the unthreaded length option of around 100 mm, allowing flexibility in installation depth.

Q3: What does the “18” in the part number mean?
A3: “18” denotes the overall rigid body length of approximately 180 mm for this probe configuration.

Q4: How long is the integrated cable?
A4: The probe comes with an integral 1.0 meter cable for connection to proximal sensors or monitoring hardware.

Q5: What type of connector does this probe use?
A5: It uses a miniature coaxial ClickLoc™ connector, providing a secure electrical connection to extension cables or proximitor inputs.

Q6: What is the sensing range of this probe?
A6: It typically operates with a linear sensing range of about 0.25 mm to 2.0 mm from the target surface in standard 3300 Series configuration.

Q7: What signal does the probe output?
A7: The probe outputs a raw analog voltage proportional to the gap/displacement; this signal needs conditioning by a proximitor or monitoring electronics.

Q8: What additional components are needed to use this probe?
A8: To form a complete measurement system, a compatible proximitor conditioning sensor and any necessary extension cables and monitoring electronics are required.
