Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What does the 330103-12-20-50-02-00 probe measure?
A1: It measures the distance (displacement) between the probe tip and a conductive target surface, typically a rotating shaft.

Q2: What is the standard sensing range of this proximity probe?
A2: It typically senses up to 2 mm of shaft movement using eddy current principles.

Q3: Can I use this probe with a different proximitor module?
A3: It is specifically designed for use with the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor. Other modules may not provide accurate readings.

Q4: Is this probe suitable for high-temperature applications?
A4: Yes, it operates reliably in environments up to +177°C.

Q5: What type of environments is this probe suitable for?
A5: It performs well in oily, dusty, high-vibration, and high-temperature environments.

Q6: What is the thread type of this probe?
A6: It features a metric thread: M10 x 1.

Q7: Is the cable length included in the system length?
A7: Yes, the total system length of 5.0 meters includes the probe, extension cable, and proximitor cable.

Q8: What kind of connector does it use?
A8: It uses a miniature coaxial connector compatible with Bently Nevada systems.

Q9: How is the probe installed?
A9: It is typically mounted through a threaded hole in the bearing housing, facing the rotating shaft surface.

Q10: Can the probe be replaced independently?
A10: Yes, the probe, extension cable, and Proximitor sensor are all modular and can be replaced separately.
