Description

The 330130-080-00-05 is a standard extension cable from Bently Nevada’s widely recognized 3300 XL 8 mm proximity transducer system. This cable, with a length of 8.0 meters (26.2 feet), is designed to reliably connect a 3300 XL series proximity probe to a 3300 XL Proximitor sensor in machinery vibration monitoring applications.

Application Scenarios

Imagine a critical gas turbine in a power generation plant, where continuous and accurate monitoring of shaft vibration is essential for preventing catastrophic failures and ensuring operational safety. The proximity probe, strategically mounted near the rotating shaft, senses the minute vibrations. The Bently Nevada 330130-080-00-05 extension cable acts as the vital link, transmitting the raw vibration signal from the probe in the potentially harsh environment of the turbine to the remotely located Proximitor sensor. This sensor then conditions the signal for analysis by the plant’s monitoring system, providing crucial insights into the machine’s health and allowing for early detection of developing faults, thus preventing costly downtime and potential safety hazards.
