FAQ (10 Q&A)

Q1: What is measured by the 330101-00-48-10-02-05 probe?
A1: It measures shaft displacement and vibration using eddy-current technology for predictive maintenance.

Q2: What environments can this probe operate in?
A2: It withstands –40 °C to +120 °C and is rated IP65 for dust and water resistance.

Q3: How long is the probe cable?
A3: The cable length is 1.0 meter, allowing flexible mounting positions.

Q4: What sensitivity does the probe provide?
A4: It delivers 5 mV per micron of displacement, enabling detection of very small movements.

Q5: Which series does this probe belong to?
A5: It is part of the 3300 XL Series, Bently Nevada’s flagship condition monitoring line.

Q6: Can I mount this probe in harsh conditions?
A6: Yes—its rugged design, IP65 rating, and wide temperature range make it ideal for harsh industrial settings.

Q7: How does it integrate with monitoring systems?
A7: It plugs directly into Bently Nevada 3300 XL monitoring modules for immediate data acquisition.

Q8: What is the maximum measurement gap?
A8: It can reliably measure up to a 10 mm gap between probe tip and shaft surface.

Q9: Why choose this 8 mm probe over others?
A9: The 8 mm diameter balances reach, durability, and sensitivity for most rotating equipment.

Q10: How does this probe help reduce downtime?
A10: By providing early warning of imbalance or misalignment, it enables planned maintenance rather than emergency repairs.
