BENTLY 330180-90-00 Proximity Sensor

BENTLY 330180-90-00 Proximity Sensor

DESCRIPTION

The 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System consists of: 

o One 3300 XL 8 mm probe, 

o One 3300 XL extension cable1 , and o One 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor2. 

The system provides an output voltage that is directly proportional to the distance between the probe tip and the observed conductive surface and can measure both static (position) and dynamic (vibration) values. The system’s primary applications are vibration and position measurements on fluid-film bearing machines, as well as Keyphasor reference and speed measurements3. The 3300 XL 8 mm system delivers the most advanced performance in our eddy current proximity transducer systems. The standard 3300 XL 8 mm 5-meter system also fully complies with the American Petroleum Institute’s (API) 670 Standard for mechanical configuration, linear range, accuracy, and temperature stability. All 3300 XL 8 mm proximity transducer systems provide this level of performance and support complete interchangeability of probes, extension cables, and Proximitor sensors, eliminating the need to match or bench calibrate individual components.

Description Notes:

1. One-meter systems do not use an extension cable. 

2. Proximitor sensors are supplied by default from the factory calibrated to AISI 4140 steel. Calibration to other target materials is available upon request. 

3. Consult Bently Nevada Applications Note, Considerations when using Eddy Current Proximity Probes for Overspeed Protection Applications, when considering this transducer system for tachometer or overspeed measurements.

4. 8 mm probes provide a thicker encapsulation of the probe coil in the molded PPS plastic probe tip. This results in a more rugged probe. The larger diameter of the probe body also provides a stronger, more robust case. We recommend that you use 8 mm probes when possible to provide optimal robustness against physical abuse. 

5. Each 3300 XL extension cable includes silicone tape that you can use instead of connector protectors. We do not recommend silicone tape for applications that will expose the probe-to-extension cable connection to turbine oil.

Main Features

Highly accurate measurement: the sensor adopts advanced eddy current technology, which is able to accurately measure the displacement and vibration of the object and provide accurate measurement data.

Wide temperature range: the sensor has an extended temperature range application capability, and can operate stably in a variety of harsh industrial environments.

Interchangeability: Sensors and wiring are interchangeable, making it easy for users to replace and repair them in the field, reducing maintenance costs.

Backward compatibility: the sensor can be backward compatible with other non-3300 XL series sensor system components, which is convenient for users to upgrade and replace in the existing system.

Functions and Applications

Displacement monitoring: the sensor can monitor the displacement of rotating machinery and equipment in real time, providing real-time displacement data to help users understand the operating status of the equipment.

Vibration monitoring: the sensor can measure the vibration of the equipment, including amplitude, frequency and phase and other parameters, providing an important basis for equipment fault diagnosis and health monitoring.

Data Acquisition: The data collected by the sensor can be transmitted to the monitoring system or data acquisition equipment for further analysis and processing, helping the user to optimise the operation and maintenance strategy of the equipment.

Use and Maintenance

Installation: The sensor should be installed in a vibration-sensitive part of the equipment to ensure the accuracy of the measurement. Installation should follow the manufacturer's installation guidelines to ensure that the sensor is properly connected to the equipment.

Maintenance: The sensor should be cleaned and inspected regularly to ensure that its surface is free of dirt and damage. At the same time, the sensor's connecting wires and connectors should be checked for looseness or damage, and any damaged parts should be replaced in a timely manner.

Calibration: To ensure the measurement accuracy of the sensor, it should be calibrated regularly. Calibration should be carried out by professional personnel using professional equipment to ensure the accuracy of the calibration results.

Precautions

Environmental adaptability: In the selection and use of sensors, should be considered whether the working environment to meet the performance requirements of the sensor, such as temperature, humidity, electromagnetic interference and so on.

Safe operation: When installing, maintaining and calibrating the sensors, the manufacturer's safe operating procedures should be followed to ensure the safety of the operators.
