Bently Nevada 330880-16 Radial Mount Proximity Probe

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330880-16-00-075-00-02 represents a significant advancement in sensor integration for machinery protection. This 100% Brand New PROXPAC XL assembly combines a high-precision proximity probe and a 3300 XL Proximitor® sensor into a single, ruggedized radial mount package. By eliminating external sensor housings and separate interconnect cables, it reduces potential failure points and slashes installation time. Engineers specify this model for critical turbomachinery where space constraints and harsh environmental exposure demand a compact, all-in-one displacement and vibration sensing solution.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• Integrated Architecture: The PROXPAC XL internalizes the Proximitor® sensor. This design removes the need for a separate junction box and terminal strips, making it the ideal solution for narrow bearing housings or cluttered machine decks.

• Superior Material Science: The Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) housing resists chemical corrosion and dissipates electrostatic charges. It provides an impenetrable barrier against water ingress and particulate contamination, achieving IP66 and Type 4X certification.

• Maintenance Efficiency: The assembly allows for external probe adjustment. Technicians can replace or adjust the probe without disassembling the entire housing or breaching the machine's internal environment, significantly reducing downtime during outages.

• EMI/RFI Shielding: The specialized PPS compound and internal mounting techniques shield the signal from industrial electromagnetic interference, ensuring a clean 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil) output for the vibration monitor.

FAQs

• Does this assembly require a separate Proximitor®? No. The 330880-16 PROXPAC XL features a built-in 3300 XL Proximitor® sensor. You only need to provide power and connect the signal output to your monitor.

• Can I use this in high-temperature environments? The PPS housing and internal components handle typical industrial temperature ranges (up to 85°C for the Proximitor component). For specific high-heat applications, verify the probe tip temperature limits in the 3300 XL manual.

• What is the benefit of the "9 Meter" system length? The 177313-02-01 (or similar 9m options) ensures the electrical characteristics of the probe and sensor match perfectly over the 9-meter calibrated length. This ensures the output remains within the specified linearity tolerances.

• Is this product 100% Brand New? Yes, we supply only 100% Brand New, original Bently Nevada equipment in factory-sealed packaging, ensuring full compliance with E-E-A-T industrial standards.
