Installation and Interface Details
Mounting the 330101-00-18-10-02-00 requires a 3/8-24 UNF threaded hole in the bearing housing. The probe then connects to a 3300 XL extension cable through a ClickLoc coaxial connector. Furthermore, the integral 1.8-meter cable allows flexible routing through machinery casings. As a result, technicians achieve consistent scale factors without field calibration.
Measurement Principle and Output
The probe generates an eddy-current field at its tip, which interacts with the conductive shaft surface. Changes in gap distance modulate this field, producing a voltage output. Additionally, the 7.87 mV/µm scale factor ensures precise displacement readings across the linear range. Therefore, the system delivers reliable data for vibration monitoring and axial position control.
Environmental and Mechanical Ratings
The PPS tip resists high temperatures up to +177 °C. Meanwhile, the 316 stainless steel case withstands corrosive industrial atmospheres. The sealed construction also tolerates moisture and oil exposure. Consequently, the probe performs well in steam turbines, compressors, and hydroelectric generators.
Why Engineers Choose This Probe
This probe offers several practical benefits. First, it provides a wide linear range for large shaft movements. Second, it integrates seamlessly with 3300 XL Proximitor sensors. Third, its robust construction extends service life in harsh environments. Therefore, maintenance teams reduce downtime and replacement costs.
