Applications
Rotating Machinery Monitoring
The 330130-030-00-05 forms part of the signal path used by a 3300 XL proximity transducer system. It can support continuous monitoring of shaft vibration and position on critical rotating equipment.
Fluid-Film Bearing Machines
The 3300 XL 8 mm proximity system is intended for applications involving fluid-film bearing machinery, where accurate shaft position and vibration measurements are important for equipment protection and condition assessment.
Turbine Systems
In turbine installations, the extension cable can connect field-mounted proximity probes to their associated Proximitor Sensors, supporting continuous rotor monitoring.
Compressor Applications
Compressors require dependable instrumentation for monitoring shaft behavior. The cable provides the electrical connection needed between compatible sensing and signal-conditioning components.
Pump and Motor Monitoring
The cable can be used in proximity-monitoring arrangements for pumps, motors, and other rotating equipment where shaft movement information contributes to predictive maintenance and machinery protection.
Speed and Reference Measurements
3300 XL proximity systems can also be used for speed-related measurements and Keyphasor applications when the complete monitoring arrangement is correctly configured.
Maintenance Replacement
For maintenance teams working with existing 3300 XL systems, the 330130-030-00-05 provides a practical replacement option when a 3.0 meter standard extension cable with multiple approvals is required.
Advantages
3 Meter Practical Length
The 3.0 meter cable length provides enough additional reach for many machinery-monitoring layouts without introducing the excessive cable routing associated with substantially longer configurations.
Standard Cable Configuration
The standard cable option offers a straightforward solution for installations where additional cable protection or specialized construction is not required.
Multiple-Approval Configuration
The final -05 designation identifies the multiple-approvals configuration, making this version appropriate when the installation specification calls for the corresponding approval option.
Consistent Electrical Characteristics
The cable's typical 69.9 pF/m capacitance is an important electrical characteristic within the 3300 XL proximity transducer system and helps maintain the intended system performance when the correct cable and sensor configuration are used.
Designed for System Interchangeability
The 3300 XL architecture supports interchangeability between compatible probes, extension cables, and Proximitor Sensors, simplifying replacement and maintenance when the correct configuration is selected.
Easy Installation and Routing
At 3.0 meters, the cable is long enough for flexible equipment routing while remaining relatively easy to handle during installation and service.
Suitable for Critical Machinery
By maintaining the signal connection between the proximity probe and Proximitor Sensor, the cable supports monitoring systems used on high-value rotating assets where dependable instrumentation is essential.
Maintenance-Friendly Component
The standardized configuration makes the 330130-030-00-05 a practical choice for planned maintenance, replacement of damaged cabling, and restoration of existing 3300 XL monitoring circuits.
Technical FAQs
1. What is the Bently Nevada 330130-030-00-05?
It is a 3300 XL Standard Extension Cable used within the 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System to connect a compatible proximity probe with its Proximitor Sensor.
2. What is the cable length?
The 030 length option specifies a 3.0 meter (9.8 ft) cable.
3. What does the “00” cable option mean?
The 00 configuration identifies the standard cable option rather than a specialized connector-protector or cable configuration.
4. What does the final “05” mean?
The final 05 identifies the multiple-approvals agency option for this configuration.
5. What is the typical capacitance?
The typical capacitance is 69.9 pF/m (21.3 pF/ft).
6. What is this cable connected to?
It is used as the connection between a compatible 3300 XL proximity probe and Proximitor Sensor within the complete proximity transducer system.
7. What machinery can use this cable?
Typical applications include turbines, compressors, pumps, motors, generators, and other rotating machinery requiring proximity-based vibration or position measurements.
8. Is this cable intended for vibration measurement?
Yes. It forms part of the signal path used for vibration and position measurements in compatible 3300 XL proximity transducer installations.
9. How much does the cable weigh?
A nominal cable weight of approximately 34 g/m gives an estimated cable-only weight of about 0.102 kg for 3.0 meters. Actual packaged weight will be higher.
10. What should be checked before ordering a replacement?
The required cable length, cable configuration, agency approval option, connected probe, Proximitor Sensor, and total system electrical length should all be verified. A replacement should match the complete 3300 XL system configuration rather than relying solely on the cable length.
