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.

200350-12-00-00 | Bently Nevada | Accelerometers
Technical Overview
The Bently Nevada 200350-12-00-00 is a general-purpose, case-mounted industrial accelerometer designed for measuring absolute bearing housing or machine casing vibration. It utilizes a piezoelectric sensing element that generates a low-impedance voltage signal directly proportional to the acceleration of the component to which it is mounted. This analog voltage signal is transmitted via a two-wire system, which also supplies constant current power to the sensor's internal electronics (IEPE standard). The 200350-12-00-00 is specifically engineered for integration with Bently Nevada machinery protection systems, such as the 3500 series. It directly interfaces with the 3500/42M Proximitor/Seismic Monitor, which processes the raw acceleration signal. The monitor can then provide real-time acceleration data or perform single integration to derive velocity, a common parameter for assessing rotating machinery health. Constructed from 316L stainless steel with a hermetic seal, the 200350-12-00-00 is built to withstand harsh industrial environments, ensuring reliable signal transmission and long operational life in critical machinery monitoring applications.

Q: What are the installation requirements?
A: Proper installation is critical for accurate measurement. The mounting surface must be a flat, smooth (recommended finish of 0.8 μm / 32 μin Ra), and clean area on the machine case. A single mounting hole must be drilled and tapped for the sensor's 1/4-28 UNF mounting stud. Apply a thin, uniform layer of coupling fluid (silicone grease) to the mounting surface to eliminate air gaps and ensure optimal vibration transmission. The sensor must be tightened to the specified torque of 2.7 to 5.4 N·m (24 to 48 lbf·in) using a calibrated torque wrench. Ensure the interconnecting cable is routed to prevent strain on the connector and is shielded from high-voltage lines or other sources of electromagnetic interference. Use of conduit is recommended for physical protection.
84661-67 | Bently Nevada | Velomitor Interconnect Cable
Technical Overview
The Bently Nevada 84661-67 is a specialized interconnect cable engineered for the transmission of low-level analog signals from Velomitor piezo-velocity sensors to a machinery protection system.
