Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What does this probe measure?
A1: It measures non-contact displacement (position) between the probe tip and a rotating shaft surface using eddy current sensing.

Q2: What makes the 330103-17-23-05-02-05 different from other probes?
A2: It has a compact system length of 0.5 meters, making it ideal for installations where space is limited.

Q3: Is this probe suitable for high-speed machinery?
A3: Yes. Its frequency response up to 10 kHz makes it suitable for high-speed rotating equipment.

Q4: Can this probe handle oil or moisture exposure?
A4: Absolutely. It is sealed and designed to perform reliably in oily and damp industrial environments.

Q5: What sensor does this probe connect to?
A5: It connects to a 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor to form a complete transducer system.

Q6: Is it compatible with older Bently Nevada systems?
A6: While designed for the XL series, it maintains backward compatibility with most traditional systems.

Q7: Can this probe be field-replaced without full system recalibration?
A7: Yes, as long as probe-to-target alignment is maintained and compatible calibration is used.

Q8: What is the operating temperature limit?
A8: The probe can operate continuously in environments up to +177°C.

Q9: Does the short cable length affect performance?
A9: No. The performance remains consistent as long as it’s matched with the appropriate proximitor and cable.

Q10: What material is the cable jacket made of?
A10: The cable is coated with PFA, providing chemical resistance and high flexibility.
