Bently Nevada 330106-05-30-15-02-00 1.5m Total Length Probe

Product Overview

The 330106-05-30-15-02-00 is a specialized reverse mount proximity probe within the 3300 XL family. It detects shaft movement with sub-micron resolution, enabling early detection of bearing wear or rotor instability. Utilizing high-performance polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) for the probe tip and 303 stainless steel for the housing, this sensor withstands the aggressive chemical and thermal environments found in power plants and refineries. We supply this product as 100% Brand New, ensuring your protection system meets original equipment manufacturer (OEM) calibration specifications.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

The 330106-05-30-15-02-00 utilizes Bently Nevada’s proprietary mechanical design to solve common industrial monitoring failures:

• TipLoc™ Molecular Bonding: The probe tip bonds chemically to the probe body. This prevents the tip from detaching and falling into the machinery—a common failure point in inferior third-party sensors.

• ClickLoc™ Connectivity: The gold-plated connector utilizes a positive-locking mechanism. This prevents the cable from vibrating loose and eliminates the signal "spikes" often caused by poor electrical contact in high-vibration zones.

• CableLoc™ Retention: The internal cable-to-probe junction withstands 330 Newtons (75 lbf) of pull force. This extra durability protects the sensor during difficult cable pulls through tight conduits or internal machine housings.

• Thermal Signal Stability: The PPS tip maintains its dielectric constant across the entire temperature range. This ensures your axial position measurements remain accurate from cold start-up to high-temperature continuous operation.

FAQs

How do I properly install a reverse mount probe?

Reverse mount probes like the 330106 are typically installed from the outside of the machine through a mounting sleeve or housing. You must use a probe holder to adjust the gap between the probe tip and the shaft while the machine is offline, ensuring the DC voltage output matches your Proximitor’s linear range (usually -10 VDC at the center point).

What total system length does this 1.5m probe require?

This probe has a 1.5m lead. To function correctly with a standard 3300 XL Proximitor calibrated for a 5.0m or 9.0m system, you must select the correct extension cable. For a 5m system, use a 3.5m extension cable; for a 9m system, use a 7.5m extension cable.

Does this probe require specific target materials?

Standard calibration assumes an AISI 4140 steel target. If your shaft uses different metallurgy (such as stainless steel or chrome-plated surfaces), you must recalibrate the Proximitor sensor or use a scale factor to ensure accurate displacement readings.
