Functional Description
The 330101‑00‑61‑15‑12‑05 probe is designed to maintain measurement stability under thermal cycling, vibration, and oil contamination. The TipLoc molding process reinforces the probe tip, preventing mechanical separation during long‑term operation. CableLoc technology secures the cable‑to‑probe interface, reducing failure risk in high‑vibration installations.
When paired with the appropriate extension cable and Proximitor sensor, the probe delivers accurate shaft displacement, vibration amplitude, and phase reference signals. This makes it suitable for turbine generators, compressors, pumps, and other critical rotating assets.
Application Scenarios
-
Turbomachinery vibration monitoring
-
Shaft axial and radial position measurement
-
Keyphasor phase reference detection
-
Speed measurement on rotating equipment
-
Condition monitoring systems in petrochemical, power generation, and heavy industry
FAQ
Q: Is the probe compatible with older 3300 systems? A: It is designed for the 3300 XL series; compatibility with legacy 3300 systems may vary depending on the Proximitor model.
Q: Can this probe be used for Keyphasor applications? A: Yes, the 8 mm probe is commonly used for phase reference and speed detection.
Q: Does the probe include the extension cable? A: No. Extension cables and Proximitor sensors are ordered separately.
