Bently Nevada 330881-28-04-105-00-02 PROXPAC XL Proximity Transducer

The Bently Nevada 330881-28-04-105-00-02 is a complete proximity transducer system. It monitors vibration and position in critical turbomachinery. This model features a 105 mm probe penetration (C dimension) . It also includes a 40 mm standoff adapter (B dimension) . The device uses a 3300 XL 8 mm probe with multiple approvals. You will find this sensor ideal for large steam, gas, and hydro turbines.

H3: Full Technical Specifications

The Bently Nevada 330881-28-04-105-00-02 offers precise measurements. It has a linear range of 2 mm (80 mils) . The range starts at 0.25 mm from the target. It extends from 0.25 mm to 2.3 mm (10 to 90 mils). This corresponds to -1 Vdc to -17 Vdc.

The incremental scale factor (ISF) is 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil). This includes a ±5% interchangeability error. The frequency response goes from 0 to 10 kHz. It has a +0, -3 dB rating with up to 305 meters of field wiring. The long 105 mm penetration allows access to targets deep within machine casings.

Key Environmental Limits:

• Probe temperature range: Operates from -51 °C to +177 °C.

• Housing rating: IP66 verified by BASEEFA.

• Power requirement: Needs -17.5 Vdc to -26 Vdc at 12 mA.

Mechanical Strength:

• Probe tensile strength: Maximum 330 N (75 lb).

• Housing impact strength: Withstands two separate 4 Joule impacts at extreme temps.

• Recommended torque for retaining nut: 29.5 N·m (260 in·lb).

Material Construction:

• Probe tip material: Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS).

• Probe case material: AISI 304 stainless steel.

• Housing material: UV-resistant, glass-reinforced PPS thermoplastic.

• Minimum target size: 15.2 mm diameter flat target.

• Minimum shaft diameter: 50.8 mm (2.0 inches).

H3: Installation Guide

Follow these steps to install the Bently Nevada 330881-28-04-105-00-02 correctly. First, set the recommended gap to 1.27 mm (50 mils) . Use the 3/4-14 NPT mounting thread option. The 40 mm standoff adapter provides extra clearance for tight installations. The 105 mm probe reaches deep measurement points. Tighten the probe sleeve locknut to 39.3 N·m (350 in·lb) .

Use a 3-conductor shielded triax cable for field wiring. The wire size should be 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (16 to 24 AWG). Keep the field wiring length at a maximum of 305 meters (1,000 feet) . Do not expose the probe to temperatures below -34°C. This may damage the pressure seal.

H3: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What applications need the 105 mm probe penetration?
The Bently Nevada 330881-28-04-105-00-02 suits large turbines with thick casings. The long probe reaches shafts that are deeply recessed.

2. Does this model come with cable fittings?
No, this is Fittings Option 00. You receive two plugs and two washers only. No M20 or conduit fittings are included.

3. Can I use this transducer in a wet environment?
Yes, the housing has an IP66 rating . BASEEFA verified this rating for strong water jets and dust.

4. What is the maximum length for field wiring?
You can use up to 305 metres (1,000 feet) of field wiring. The frequency response will remain 0 to 10 kHz within -3 dB.

5. What is the benefit of the 40 mm standoff adapter?
The standoff adapter positions the probe further from the mounting surface. This helps avoid interference with nearby machine components.
