Bently Nevada 330180-91-CN | 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor

Product Overview

330180-91-CN is a high-performance Proximitor sensor (pre-processor) from Bently Nevada's 3300 XL Series, designed for use in eddy current proximity transducer systems. It converts the signal from a non-contact 3300/3300 XL 8 mm probe into a voltage output proportional to the distance between the probe tip and the target surface.

The "91" suffix indicates a 9.0-meter system length with DIN rail mounting, while "CN" typically denotes configuration for the Chinese market or specific termination standards. This model is part of the 3300 XL 8 mm system, which is Bently Nevada's most advanced eddy current sensor system and is 100% compliant with the API 670 standard (4th edition).

The Proximitor sensor is a critical component in machinery protection systems, providing precise, non-contact measurement of shaft vibration, position, and speed for critical rotating equipment such as turbines, compressors, and pumps.

  • Sensitivity — 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil) sensitivity enables precise detection of rotor dynamic displacement changes.
  • Linear range — 2 mm (80 mils) linear range, covering the measurement span from approximately 0.25 mm to 2.3 mm (10–90 mils).

Environmental robustness

  • Wide temperature operation — Proximitor operating temperature range: -35°C to +85°C; probe supports -51°C to +177°C for extreme environments.
  • RFI/EMI immunity — Enhanced RFI/EMI radiation resistance meets European electromagnetic compatibility standards, ensuring stable operation even in complex RF environments.
  • Interchangeability — All 3300 XL 8 mm eddy current sensor systems meet specified performance standards, and probes, extension cables, and Proximitors are fully interchangeable without separate matching components or bench calibration.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the difference between 330180-90-00 and 330180-91-CN?

The suffix indicates the system length and mounting option. "90" denotes a 9.0 m system length with panel mounting; "91" denotes a 9.0 m system length with DIN rail mounting. "CN" typically indicates configuration for the Chinese market or specific termination standards.

Q2: Does the 330180-91-CN require calibration when replacing a unit?

All 3300 XL 8 mm eddy current sensor systems are fully interchangeable without separate matching components or bench calibration. However, after installation, the entire measurement loop (probe, extension cable, Proximitor) should be verified for proper gap voltage and scaling factor.

Q3: What is the purpose of the driven shield (triaxial cable) technology?

The triaxial driven shield design minimizes cable capacitance effects, ensuring stable measurements even with long cable runs. This allows the system to maintain ±0.5% linearity over extended distances, making it ideal for industrial installations where the control room is far from the machinery.

Q4: Can the 330180-91-CN be used for both static (displacement) and dynamic (vibration) measurements?

Yes. The Proximitor outputs a voltage signal proportional to the gap between the probe tip and the target surface, which can be used for both static displacement measurements (thrust position) and dynamic vibration measurements (shaft vibration).

Q5: What is the recommended target size for this sensor?

For optimal performance, the recommended target surface diameter is 15.2 mm for a shaft diameter of 76.2 mm. The target should be a solid metallic surface with a flatness of better than 0.025 mm.

Q6: Is the 330180-91-CN compatible with ATEX/hazardous area installations?

The 330180-91-CN itself is typically installed in the safe area (control room). For hazardous area installations, the probe and extension cable may be installed in the hazardous area with appropriate safety barriers. Verify the specific certification of your unit.
