Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 3300 40-13-01-01-00-00 is a high-performance Proximitor Sensor belonging to the renowned 3300 XL series. This device is an eddy current proximity probe system designed to provide precise, non-contact measurement of shaft relative vibration, position (axial position), and eccentricity in critical rotating machinery. The Bently Nevada 3300 40-13-01-01-00-00 utilizes a robust 8mm tip diameter, which offers a wider linear range and greater durability compared to smaller probes, making it the industry standard for monitoring large industrial assets.

In the context of machinery protection, the Bently Nevada 3300 40-13-01-01-00-00 serves as the “eyes” of the monitoring system. It converts physical displacement into a DC voltage signal that is interpreted by Bently Nevada monitors (such as the 3500 or 3300 racks). The specific configuration of the Bently Nevada 3300 40-13-01-01-00-00 ensures compatibility with standard Bently Nevada extension cables and proximitor sensors, providing a seamless integration into existing asset protection schemes. Its ability to operate in harsh environments with high temperatures and pressures makes it indispensable for steam turbines, centrifugal compressors, and large motors.

Main Features and Advantages

Superior 8mm Tip Design:

The Bently Nevada 3300 40-13-01-01-00-00 features an 8mm tip diameter, which provides a significantly larger sensing area than 5mm or 11mm probes. This design offers a wider linear range (up to 80 mils or 2.0 mm), allowing the sensor to measure larger vibration amplitudes and shaft movements without signal saturation. The larger tip also makes the Bently Nevada 3300 40-13-01-01-00-00 more robust against physical damage during installation or operation.

High-Temperature and Pressure Resistance:

Engineered for extreme conditions, the Bently Nevada 3300 40-13-01-01-00-00 can withstand process temperatures up to 177°C (350°F) and static pressures up to 3000 psi. This capability allows the probe to be mounted directly on hot machinery casings, such as steam turbines, without the need for remote mounting blocks, reducing installation complexity and potential leak paths. The Bently Nevada 3300 40-13-01-01-00-00 maintains signal integrity even in these demanding environments.
