Keterangan
The Bently Nevada 330881-16-04-138-03-02 is a PROXPAC XL Proximity Transducer system. Unlike traditional proximity systems that utilize separate components, the PROXPAC XL integrates the probe, extension cable, and Proximitor sensor into a single, self-contained unit. This design simplifies installation and reduces the number of connection points in vibration monitoring applications.
Features
- Integrated system design combining probe, extension cable, and Proximitor sensor
- Housing constructed from Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), a molded thermoplastic reinforced with glass and conductive fibers for electrostatic dissipation
- Rated for Type 4X and IP66 environments, providing protection in severe industrial conditions
- 8 mm 3300 XL probe technology
- Configured with 40 mm standoff adapter and 138 mm probe penetration
- Includes one M20 fitting and two plugs
- Mounting thread: 3/4-14 NPT
Applications
This transducer is designed for continuous monitoring and protection of critical rotating machinery, including:
- Steam and gas turbines in power generation
- Large centrifugal, axial, and process gas compressors
- Critical boiler feed pumps and high-pressure process pumps
- Large electric motors and industrial generators
- Heavy-duty industrial gearboxes requiring precise shaft alignment monitoring

Installation Guidelines
-
Gapping: For optimal performance, gap the probe at the center of its linear range. For this 8 mm system, the target gap is typically 1.27 mm (50 mils), corresponding to an output of approximately -10 VDC.
-
Cross-Talk Prevention: Maintain a minimum separation between transducer tips of at least 40 mm (1.6 in) for axial measurements or 38 mm (1.5 in) for radial vibration to prevent signal interference.
-
Handling: Ensure the system is powered down before performing any wiring or maintenance. Handle with care to avoid damage to the probe tip or cable insulation.
-
Environment: Ensure the mounting location is free from excessive mechanical shock and that the housing is properly sealed using the provided fittings to maintain the IP66 rating.
