Product Overview
The 146054-08-05-02-05 model is a forward-mounted 3300 XL Ceramic Capped Probe with a 3/8-24 UNF threaded body, 0.5-meter cable length, and Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector. It is particularly suited for machinery exposed to aggressive process conditions, including applications involving ammonia, extreme pH chemicals, and other corrosive environments.
Unlike conventional metallic probe tips, the ceramic cap provides improved resistance against chemical attack while preserving the electromagnetic performance required for precision displacement measurement.

Technical FAQs
Q1: What is the main purpose of the Bently Nevada 146054-08-05-02-05 probe?
The probe is designed for non-contact measurement of shaft vibration, displacement, and position in rotating machinery monitoring systems.
Q2: What makes the ceramic capped version different from standard proximity probes?
The ceramic capped design uses an alumina ceramic sensing tip that provides improved resistance against corrosive chemicals and harsh process environments.
Q3: Is this probe compatible with the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor?
Yes. The 3300 XL Ceramic Capped Probe is designed for use with compatible 3300 XL Proximitor Sensors and extension cables.
Q4: What is the recommended probe gap setting?
The recommended electrical gap setting is approximately 1.0 mm (40 mils).
Q5: What type of connector does this model use?
The 146054-08-05-02-05 uses a Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with standard cable configuration.
Q6: Does this probe include an armored cable?
No. The 146054 series configuration is supplied without armor.
Q7: What is the measurement range of this probe?
The probe provides a linear measurement range of approximately 1.52 mm (60 mils).
Q8: Can this probe be used in high-pressure environments?
Yes. The ceramic capped probe design supports applications up to approximately 34 bar (500 psi) at the front-end seal under specified conditions.
Q9: Are ceramic capped probes interchangeable with standard 3300 XL probes?
While electrically compatible within the appropriate system configuration, ceramic capped probes have a shifted response curve compared with standard probes, so monitor configuration should be verified carefully.
Q10: What equipment commonly uses this probe?
Typical equipment includes turbines, compressors, pumps, generators, motors, and other critical rotating machinery requiring continuous condition monitoring.
