21504-00-32-10-02 | Bently Nevada | Vibration Probe
Technical Overview
The Bently Nevada 21504-00-32-10-02 is a 3300 NSv series proximity vibration probe, a fundamental component of an eddy current transducer system designed for non-contact displacement and vibration measurement on rotating machinery. Its primary function is to measure the distance (gap) between the probe tip and a conductive target material, typically a machine shaft. The probe operates by generating a high-frequency radio frequency (RF) field from its tip coil. When brought near the conductive target, this field induces eddy currents on the target's surface. These eddy currents alter the impedance of the probe's coil system. This change in impedance is detected by an associated Proximitor Sensor, which demodulates the signal into a voltage directly proportional to the probe-to-target gap. This analog voltage signal is then transmitted to a monitoring system, such as the Bently Nevada 3500 Machinery Protection System, for real-time analysis, trending, and alarming. The 21504-00-32-10-02 is constructed with a stainless steel case for durability in industrial environments and is specifically configured with a 320 mm case length and a 1.0-meter integral cable.

330192-00-28-05-00 | Bently Nevada | 3300 XL 8 mm ETR Proximity Probes
Technical Overview
The Bently Nevada 330192-00-28-05-00 is an 8 mm Extended Temperature Range (ETR) proximity probe component of the 3300 XL Proximity Transducer System. Its primary function is to perform non-contact measurement of relative displacement on rotating and reciprocating machinery. The probe operates on an eddy current principle. When paired with a 3300 XL extension cable and Proximitor Sensor, it forms a tuned oscillator circuit that emits a high-frequency radio frequency (RF) field from the probe tip. This field induces eddy currents on the surface of the observed conductive target, typically a machine shaft. The interaction between the RF field and the eddy currents results in a change in the oscillator's amplitude, which is directly proportional to the gap between the probe tip and the target. The Proximitor Sensor demodulates this RF signal into a precise DC voltage. This voltage signal is then transmitted to a monitoring system, such as the Bently Nevada 3500 Series, where it is processed to provide critical measurements including radial vibration, axial position (thrust), and rotational speed (when used in a Keyphasor configuration). The 330192-00-28-05-00 is constructed with a Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) tip and a stainless steel body, ensuring robust performance in high-temperature industrial environments.

Technical Overview
The Bently Nevada 330703-00-100-10-11-CN is an 11 mm eddy current proximity probe designed for non-contact displacement and vibration measurement on rotating machinery. It functions as a core component of the 3300 XL 11 mm Transducer System, which also includes a matched extension cable and a 3300 XL 11 mm Proximitor Sensor. The system operates on the eddy current principle, where the Proximitor Sensor emits a high-frequency radio frequency (RF) signal through the probe and extension cable. This signal radiates from the probe tip, creating an electromagnetic field. When a conductive target, such as a machine shaft, enters this field, eddy currents are induced on its surface. These currents create a secondary magnetic field that opposes the primary field, causing a measurable change in the RF signal's impedance. The Proximitor Sensor demodulates this signal to produce a DC voltage directly proportional to the gap between the probe tip and the target surface. This analog voltage signal is then transmitted to a monitoring system, such as the Bently Nevada 3500 series, for real-time analysis of radial vibration, axial position, and shaft speed.

An appropriate thread sealant must be applied to the housing's male NPT threads to ensure a pressure-tight seal. The housing is then threaded into the machine case and tightened. The proximity probe is inserted into the housing and its axial position is adjusted to achieve the correct DC gap voltage, typically -10 Vdc for a standard 3300 XL 8 mm probe configuration. Once the gap is set, the probe is secured within the housing using its set screws. Proper system grounding, as detailed in Bently Nevada documentation, is mandatory for signal integrity.
