Bently Nevada 330180-12-00 Proximity Transducer

Product Overview

The 330180-12-00 serves as a proximity transducer within the Bently Nevada 3300 XL series. This assembly combines a 5/8 mm probe, extension cable, and Proximitor signal conditioner. Consequently, it delivers a calibrated voltage output proportional to shaft displacement. Power plants and refineries depend on this transducer for continuous vibration monitoring.

Key Features and Interfaces

Furthermore, the 330180-12-00 ships as a fully assembled and factory-calibrated unit. Its 3-pin ClickLoc interface connects probe, cable, and conditioner without soldering. In addition, the stainless steel armor shields the cable from abrasion and chemical attack. Therefore, technicians install it quickly inside tight turbine housings.

Installation and Compatibility

Moreover, this transducer integrates directly with 3300 XL Proximitor modules and 3500 series racks. The 1.2 m total length suits medium-reach mounting positions on large machines. Because the case-isolated design blocks ground loops, signal integrity remains stable in noisy environments. Subsequently, engineers deploy it for radial vibration, axial position, and keyphasor measurements.

Why Choose This Transducer

Additionally, the 330180-12-00 complies with API 670 and ISO 20816 monitoring standards. Its wide temperature range covers hot turbine casings and cold outdoor installations. Meanwhile, the factory calibration removes field adjustment steps and reduces commissioning time. As a result, maintenance teams obtain reliable data for predictive maintenance programs.
