Functional Description
330180-91-07 is a Proximitor sensor manufactured by Bently Nevada. It is a part of their 3300 XL Transducer System. This sensor is designed to deliver accurate, reliable measurements for applications in machinery monitoring, particularly for vibration, position, and speed measurement.
Features
- System Length: Supports a system length of up to 9.0 meters (29.5 feet), providing sufficient range for a variety of industrial applications.
- Mounting Options: Sensor offers flexibility in mounting with support for DIN-rail installations and traditional panel mounts. The sensor is designed to be mounted in high-density configurations, making it well-suited for compact, space-efficient installations in control panels. For users familiar with older systems, the sensor also shares an identical 4-hole mounting footprint, making retrofitting easier.
- Electrical Isolation: The mounting base for both the DIN-rail and panel mount configurations provides built-in electrical isolation, eliminating the need for separate isolator plates. This feature enhances system performance by ensuring stable operation without the risk of electrical interference, which is particularly important in sensitive industrial environments.
Benefits and Advancements
- Compact and Versatile Design: The sensor is designed for high-density installations, which is particularly useful in environments with limited space or when retrofitting older systems. It is optimized for use in DIN rail configurations, which are common in modern industrial systems for their space-saving and efficient organization.
- Backward Compatibility: The 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor is fully compatible with previous versions of the 3300 series, making it easy to integrate into existing systems without major upgrades or changes. This backward compatibility extends to the 4-hole mounting pattern, ensuring the sensor can be easily swapped out with older Proximitor models.
- Improved Performance: As part of the 3300 XL Transducer System, the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor offers enhanced performance in terms of accuracy, temperature stability, and linear range, meeting or exceeding the rigorous standards required for critical machinery monitoring applications. This makes the system highly effective in monitoring vibration levels, shaft position, and speed in fluid-film bearing machines and other rotating equipment.
- Ease of Installation: The sensor’s mounting base simplifies the installation process by providing electrical isolation. The isolator feature eliminates the need for additional components, reducing complexity and installation time.
Applications
- Vibration and Position Monitoring: The 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor is commonly used in industries requiring precise vibration and position monitoring, such as turbines, compressors, and pumps.
- Speed Measurement: The system is also utilized in applications where speed measurements are critical, providing accurate data for monitoring and controlling the performance of rotating machinery.
- Hazardous Environment Compliance: Like other sensors in the 3300 XL series, the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor complies with CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications, making it safe for use in hazardous areas where explosive gases or dust may be present.
