FAQ

1. What is the 330101-36-80-10-02-00 Proximity Probe used for?

The 330101-36-80-10-02-00 is part of the Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximity Transducer System.

It is designed to measure the distance between a probe tip and the surface of a rotating shaft or target.

It is primarily used for vibration and position monitoring in industrial rotating machinery such as turbines, compressors, pumps, and motors.

2. Is the 330101-36-80-10-02-00 probe compatible with other Bently Nevada systems?

Yes, it is compatible with the Bently Nevada 3300 XL series extension cables and Proximitor® sensor modules.

However, it is important to match system lengths and configurations properly for accurate measurements.

3. Can this probe be used in hazardous environments?

Yes, it is available with certifications for use in hazardous environments (e.g., Class I, Division 2, ATEX Zone 2),

but installation must comply with appropriate safety and regulatory standards.

4. What is the recommended gap (initial distance) for installation?

The recommended initial gap setting is typically 1.0 mm (40 mils), but this can vary depending on the specific application and

the target shaft's material. The system provides a linear output over a specified range (usually ±2 mm).
