130118-0050-02 Bently Nevada 3300 XL Transducer Assembly

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 130118-0050-02 functions as the high-precision front-end for the 3300 XL Proximity Transducer System. This non-contacting probe utilizes eddy current technology to detect minute mechanical shaft movements, converting physical displacement into high-fidelity electrical signals for monitoring vibration and axial position. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New and Original, providing the critical data needed to protect turbomachinery, compressors, and pumps from catastrophic failure.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• Long-Reach Signal Connectivity: The 50-foot integrated cable length facilitates sensor installations on massive machinery frames. This extended reach allows engineers to route cabling directly to local junction boxes or Proximitor® housings without requiring intermediate interconnects, which reduces potential signal failure points.

• Extreme Temperature Resilience: The probe tip maintains signal stability across a wide thermal spectrum. This ensures that the 130118-0050-02 captures accurate thrust and vibration data even when exposed to the high-heat environments of steam turbine housings or industrial compressor casings.

• Active Noise Suppression: The rugged, low-noise coaxial design shields the signal from electromagnetic interference (EMI). This protects the integrity of displacement data as it travels the full 50-foot distance, preventing electrical "ghost" signals from triggering false machinery alarms.

• Corrosion and Fluid Resistance: Designed specifically for industrial zones, the probe materials resist degradation from lubricating oils, process chemicals, and high-pressure environments. The gold-plated ClickLoc™ connector ensures a vibration-proof, moisture-sealed electrical bond.

FAQs

1. Is the 130118-0050-02 compatible with all 3300 XL Proximitor® sensors?

No. You must pair the 50ft probe with a Proximitor® sensor specifically calibrated for a 50ft (approx. 15m) total system length. Using a standard 5m or 9m Proximitor will result in significant measurement errors.

2. Can I trim the 50ft cable if it is too long for my application?

We strictly advise against trimming the integrated probe cable. The cable length is a calibrated electrical component of the eddy current circuit. Shortening the cable will change its impedance and permanently invalidate the sensor's calibration.

3. What is the standard mounting gap for this probe?

For most 3300 XL 8mm systems, engineers set the mechanical gap to approximately 1.27 mm (50 mils), which typically corresponds to a -10 Vdc output at the Proximitor®. This places the probe in the center of its linear range.

4. How does the ClickLoc™ connector improve reliability?

The ClickLoc™ mechanism provides a tactile "click" upon connection, confirming a secure lock. Unlike threaded connectors that can vibrate loose over time, ClickLoc™ maintains a consistent connection under the high-frequency vibration common in rotating machinery.
