Specialized Engineering Characteristics

This proximity probe features high-grade metal alloy construction for extreme durability. The specialized polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip resists chemical erosion and moisture penetration. Furthermore, gold-plated connectors ensure maximum electrical conductivity and signal fidelity. This design prevents corrosion at critical contact points over long service lives. The hardware maintains consistent linear output across a wide temperature range. Consequently, the sensor provides reliable data in the most demanding industrial zones.

Industrial Applications and Integration

Engineers typically deploy this probe in turbine supervisory instrumentation (TSI) systems. It excels at monitoring centrifugal compressors, electric motors, and steam turbines. Because it withstands high-pressure environments, it suits petrochemical and power generation facilities. The 330130-040-10-CN integrates seamlessly with Bently Nevada Proximitor sensors and extension cables. Furthermore, the 3300 XL system supports complete interchangeability between system components. This flexibility simplifies spare parts management for large-scale industrial operations.

Installation and Environmental Protection

The 4.0-inch case length provides ample reach for thick bearing housings. Advanced shielding technology protects the sensor signal from electromagnetic interference (EMI). Moreover, the IP67 rating ensures the probe operates safely during brief water submersion. This robust protection makes it ideal for environments with heavy debris or oil mist. Proper gapping during installation ensures the sensor remains within its linear range. These features combined deliver an industry-standard solution for asset reliability and protection.
