Applications
Machinery Vibration Monitoring
The 330130-045-13-00 is suitable for installations where a 3300 XL proximity probe must be connected to the monitoring electronics over a defined cable distance. It supports the physical connection required for continuous measurement of rotating machinery conditions.
Turbomachinery and Rotating Equipment
The cable can be used as part of proximity measurement arrangements on equipment such as turbines, compressors, pumps, motors, and other rotating machinery where vibration or shaft-position monitoring is required.
Industrial Maintenance Systems
Its armored construction makes this version particularly attractive for cable routes exposed to mechanical contact, abrasion, or other installation hazards. The connector protectors further improve the practicality of the assembly in demanding field environments.
Replacement and Retrofit Projects
For maintenance teams replacing an existing 3300 XL extension cable, selecting the correct length and cable configuration can simplify installation while helping preserve the intended measurement-chain arrangement.
Advantages
Armored Construction for Added Protection
Unlike a basic unarmored extension cable, the 330130-045-13-00 incorporates an armored configuration designed to provide additional mechanical protection. This can be beneficial when cable routing passes through areas where physical contact or abrasion is a concern.
FluidLoc® Cable Technology
The FluidLoc® construction is an important feature of this configuration. It is designed to reduce the possibility of fluid migration through the interior of the cable, adding another layer of protection for industrial installations.
Integrated Connector Protection
Pre-installed connector protectors help protect the connection area and make the cable more suitable for practical field installation. This is especially useful when the cable assembly must be routed through equipment areas with limited space or increased environmental exposure.
Precise 4.5-Meter Configuration
The 4.5-meter length provides a useful option when the measurement system requires a specific total cable length. In a typical 5-meter arrangement, a 4.5-meter extension cable can be paired with a 0.5-meter probe to achieve the required overall electrical length.
Practical Replacement Choice
For maintenance and spare-parts planning, the 330130-045-13-00 provides a clearly defined configuration that can help reduce uncertainty during replacement. Matching the exact part number remains important because 3300 XL extension cables are available in multiple cable, protection, length, and approval configurations.
Technical FAQs
1. What is the Bently Nevada 330130-045-13-00?
The 330130-045-13-00 is a 3300 XL Standard Extension Cable with a 4.5-meter length. It uses an armored FluidLoc® cable configuration and includes connector protectors.
2. How long is the 330130-045-13-00 cable?
The cable length is 4.5 meters (14.8 feet).
3. What does the “045” in the part number represent?
The 045 identifies the 4.5-meter cable-length option within the 3300 XL extension-cable configuration.
4. What does the “13” configuration mean?
The 13 cable option identifies an armored FluidLoc® cable configuration with connector protectors.
5. Does the 330130-045-13-00 include connector protection?
Yes. This configuration includes connector protectors as part of the cable assembly.
6. What is FluidLoc® technology used for?
FluidLoc® construction is intended to help prevent or limit fluid migration through the cable, providing an additional level of protection for industrial monitoring installations.
7. Can this cable be used for 3300 XL proximity probe systems?
Yes. The 330130 series is designed for use with the 3300 XL proximity measurement system, subject to matching the complete probe, extension cable, and associated system configuration.
8. What is the approximate weight of the 330130-045-13-00?
A listed shipping weight for this configuration is approximately 1.5 kg. Actual packaged and unpackaged weights can differ depending on shipping materials and configuration.
9. What should be checked before replacing an existing extension cable?
The technician should verify the complete part number, cable length, cable construction, connector-protection option, probe type, and required system length. Selecting a cable only by physical length may result in an incorrect system configuration.
10. Why choose the armored 330130-045-13-00 instead of a standard cable?
The armored configuration is a strong choice when additional mechanical protection is required. Its combination of armor, FluidLoc® construction, and connector protection makes it better suited to installations where cable durability is an important consideration.
