The Bently Nevada 330104-00-12-10-02-05 belongs to the versatile 3300 XL 8mm proximity transducer system. This industrial sensor measures the precise gap between the probe tip and conductive targets. It utilizes eddy current technology to provide non-contact displacement data. Furthermore, the system generates a voltage output directly proportional to the physical distance. This makes it an essential tool for monitoring rotating machinery health.
Functional Design and Performance
This transducer excels at capturing both static and dynamic mechanical measurements. It effectively tracks shaft vibration levels while monitoring average axial position. Additionally, the sensor provides reliable Keyphasor signals for phase reference. The 8mm tip utilizes Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) for superior environmental resistance. Furthermore, the stainless steel body ensures long-term durability in oil-rich environments. The patented ClickLoc connector prevents signal loss due to mechanical looseness.
Key Industrial Applications
Maintenance professionals typically deploy this sensor on machinery using fluid-film bearings. It monitors high-speed centrifugal compressors, steam turbines, and large industrial pumps. Because it tracks displacement accurately, it identifies early signs of bearing wear. The probe also functions as a speed-sensing device for various rotating assets. Furthermore, it supports axial thrust monitoring to prevent internal machine contact. These applications are critical for power generation and petrochemical facilities.

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.

Technical FAQ
Q: What systems is the 21504-00-32-10-02 compatible with?
A: The 21504-00-32-10-02 probe is a component of the Bently Nevada 3300 NSv Proximity Transducer System. For correct operation, it must be used in conjunction with a 3300 NSv extension cable and a 3300 NSv Proximitor Sensor. The output from the Proximitor Sensor is compatible with Bently Nevada monitoring systems, including the 3500 and 3300 series, as well as any data acquisition system, PLC, or DCS capable of accepting a -24 Vdc powered, 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil) analog signal.
Q: What are the installation requirements?
A: Proper installation is critical for measurement accuracy. The probe must be mounted perpendicular to the target surface using a rigid bracket. The physical gap should be set to place the DC output voltage in the middle of the system's linear range, typically -10 Vdc. The target area on the shaft must be at least 10.7 mm (0.42 in) in diameter, smooth (0.4 to 0.8 µm / 16 to 32 µin rms), and free of any electrical or magnetic irregularities (e.g., chrome plating, magnetised spots). Cable routing must avoid high-voltage power lines and other sources of electromagnetic interference. All ClickLoc connectors must be fully engaged to ensure a secure connection.
