Overview
The Bently Nevada 330180-50-00 is a high-performance proximitor sensor from the proven 3300 XL series. This non-contact sensor utilizes eddy current technology to accurately measure target displacement. The system can measure static (position) and dynamic (vibration) readings and outputs a voltage that is directly proportional to the distance between the probe tip and the observed conductive surface. Vibration and position measurements on fluid-film bearing machines, as well as Keyphasor reference and speed measurements, are the system’s main uses.
Key Features
- Output: 4-20 mA with ±0.5 mm accuracy and ±0.2 mm repeatability
