Functional Description

330180-90-25 is a Proximitor sensor manufactured by Bently Nevada. It is a part of their 3300 XL Transducer System. It is designed for precise vibration and position measurements, offering high accuracy and reliability in various industrial applications, especially in fluid-film bearing machines, compression systems, and for speed measurements.

Features

• Proximitor sensor is part of a system with a maximum system length of 9.0 meters (29.5 feet), providing sufficient reach for most applications in large machines and systems.
• The sensor complies with CSA, ATEX, and IECEx standards, which are international certifications that ensure the sensor is safe for use in hazardous environments where explosive gases or dust may be present.
• Extended Temperature Range: This Proximitor sensor can operate effectively in a broad range of temperatures, making it ideal for extended temperature range applications where environmental conditions might fluctuate significantly, such as in outdoor or extreme industrial settings.
• Complete Interchangeability: One of the standout features of the 3300 XL system is the complete interchangeability of components, including the probes, extension cables, and the Proximitor sensor itself. This means that the components can be swapped out without needing to recalibrate or adjust the system, simplifying maintenance and reducing downtime.
• Backward Compatibility: Backward compatible with older non-3300 XL series transducer system components. This includes compatibility with the 5 mm probe from the earlier 3300 series, which is useful when installation space is limited and the 8 mm probe is too large for the application.

Applications

• Particularly well-suited for applications involving fluid-film bearing machines.
• These bearings are commonly used in rotating machinery like turbines, compressors, and pumps, where precise measurements of shaft position and vibration are critical for performance monitoring and early fault detection.
• It is also highly effective for speed measurements and as a Keyphasor reference in rotational monitoring systems, which help synchronize machinery and ensure operational stability.

System Components

3300 XL 8mm Probe: The probe senses the distance between its tip and the conductive surface it’s measuring, providing critical position and vibration data.
3300 XL Extension Cable: This cable connects the probe to the Proximitor sensor, ensuring signal integrity over longer distances.
3300 XL Proximitor Sensor: This is the central component that converts the analog signal from the probe into an output voltage that is directly proportional to the distance between the probe tip and the observed surface.
The output from the system is directly proportional to the distance between the probe and the conductive surface, and can measure both static (position) and dynamic (vibration) values, making it a versatile tool for both monitoring the condition of machinery and synchronizing systems.

Compliance and Standards

The system complies with the American Petroleum Institute's (API) 670 Standard (4th Edition) for mechanical configuration, linear range, accuracy, and temperature stability, which ensures that it meets the high standards required for critical industrial applications.
