The Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm Pro Probes with the part number 330101-0012-05-02-00 are a type of vibration monitoring sensor used in industrial machinery. These probes are designed to measure the radial vibration and position of rotating machinery, such as turbines, compressors, and pumps.
Here's a breakdown of the part number:
- 330101: This is the basic part number for the Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximity Probes.
- 00: This code typically represents the installation or termination type of the probe.
- 12: This code specifies the probe length, in this case, 12 inches.
- 05: This code refers to the probe system's thread pitch or thread form.
- 02: This code represents the tip clearance, which is the distance between the probe tip and the target surface.
- 00: This code can indicate additional features or options specific to the probe.
The Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximity Probes are known for their reliability and accuracy in monitoring machinery vibration. They work based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. As the rotating machine component passes by the probe, it generates an AC voltage in the probe coil. This voltage is then converted into a proportional signal by the associated monitoring system, allowing engineers and technicians to monitor the vibration and position of the machinery.
These probes are often used in conjunction with Bently Nevada's monitoring systems, such as the 3500 Series or the System 1 Evolution, to provide comprehensive machinery condition monitoring and protection.
