The Bently Nevada 330130-085-00-00 is a product in Bently Nevada’s series of vibration monitoring and protection systems, commonly used in industrial settings such as power plants, manufacturing facilities, and other sectors where the health of rotating machinery is critical.

Product Name:

Bently Nevada 330130-085-00-00

Product Description:

The Bently Nevada 330130-085-00-00 is typically a proximity probe or part of the Bently Nevada vibration monitoring system. The proximity probe, in particular, is designed to monitor the condition of rotating machinery, like motors, turbines, and generators. It measures the gap between the probe tip and the machine’s rotating shaft, helping to detect any unusual vibrations or displacements that could indicate potential mechanical problems.

This product is part of the 3300 or 3500 series, which are commonly used for machine condition monitoring in industries that rely on critical rotating equipment.

Product Parameters and Specifications:

• Type: Proximity Probe (often part of an integrated vibration monitoring system).
• Sensing Technology: Eddy current technology used for non-contact measurement of machine shaft displacement.
• Measurement Range: Typically, Bently Nevada probes have a measurement range between a few mils up to several inches of displacement, depending on the model.
• Output Signal: Proximity probes typically provide an output that can be used with the Bently Nevada monitoring systems, like 3300 or 3500 series.
• Operating Temperature: Designed to operate in harsh industrial environments, typically from -40°C to 85°C (-40°F to 185°F).
• Environmental Protection: Often designed to withstand exposure to high levels of vibration, shock, and industrial contaminants (e.g., oils, dust, and high humidity).
• Accuracy: High-precision measurement of shaft displacement, typically within micrometer or mil range.

Product Use:

• Condition Monitoring: The proximity probe is used to measure the radial displacement between the rotating shaft and the stationary housing. Excessive displacement or vibration can be a sign of mechanical faults, such as misalignment, unbalance, or bearing damage.
• Protection: In some applications, the proximity probe is part of a system that provides real-time protection for machinery. When a predefined vibration or displacement threshold is exceeded, the system can trigger alarms or shutdown sequences to prevent further damage to the equipment.
• Predictive Maintenance: By continuously monitoring the condition of equipment, the proximity probe helps operators predict potential failures, enabling maintenance to be scheduled before a breakdown occurs, reducing downtime and costly repairs.

Common Applications:

• Turbines: Used in power generation to monitor steam or gas turbines.
• Motors and Pumps: Employed in industries such as oil & gas, petrochemical, and manufacturing to monitor the health of large motors, pumps, and compressors.
• Generators: Used in power generation to monitor the condition of generator units.
• Rotating Equipment: Any critical rotating machinery where vibration monitoring is essential for operational reliability.
