Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: What does the 330104-10-19-10-02-00 proximity probe measure?
A1: It measures the displacement or vibration of rotating machine shafts without making contact with the surface.

Q2: Can this probe be used in outdoor or wet environments?
A2: Yes, with its IP67 environmental rating, it is protected against dust and temporary water immersion.

Q3: What’s the purpose of using an 8mm tip instead of 5mm?
A3: The 8mm probe allows for longer linear range and is suitable for machines with larger shaft diameters or higher vibration amplitudes.

Q4: Is this probe compatible with legacy Bently Nevada systems?
A4: Yes, it’s fully compatible with 3300 XL extension cables and Proximitor sensors, which integrate with many legacy and current systems.

Q5: What is the installation method?
A5: The probe uses a threaded, screw-in mounting, which allows for secure and precise positioning.

Q6: What is the maximum measurement range?
A6: The maximum linear measurement range is 0 to 1.5 mm, ideal for most industrial applications.

Q7: What kind of machinery is this product typically used with?
A7: It’s used in rotating equipment like steam turbines, compressors, electric motors, and pumps.

Q8: Can the probe withstand high operating temperatures?
A8: Yes, the operating temperature range is –40°C to +120°C, making it suitable for high-temperature industrial settings.

Q9: What’s the total weight of the probe assembly?
A9: The weight of this probe model is 0.323 kg.

Q10: How do I replace the probe if it’s damaged?
A10: Simply unscrew the existing probe and replace it with a compatible new unit. Ensure the thread size and cable length match your original setup.
