Why This Probe Fits Your System
The 3300 series is a workhorse in oil, gas and industrial automation. The 146055-05-02-05 gives you the same measurement integrity in a compact 0.5 metre package. The ceramic tip resists wear in harsh environments. The AISI 304 stainless steel case handles corrosive plant atmospheres. With a linear range of 1.52 mm (60 mils) and an incremental scale factor of 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil), it delivers accurate displacement data for radial vibration and axial position.
Comparison: 3300 vs. Other Probe Families
- 3300 series (this probe): Ceramic capped, reverse mount, 3/8-24 UNF thread, 0.5 m length. Suited to tight installations and standard 3300 systems.
- 3300 XL series: Larger body, different connector options, often used where longer cable runs are needed. Not interchangeable with this part number without checking system compatibility.
- Other Bently Nevada probes: Different thread sizes or mounting styles. Always verify the exact part number against your system documentation.
Installation and Maintenance
Mount the probe using the 3/8-24 UNF thread. The maximum thread engagement is 0.563 in. Do not exceed this depth. The probe seals at 34 Bar (500 psi) nitrogen, so it suits pressurized housings. Route the standard FEP-insulated cable away from high-temperature zones above +177°C. For maintenance, inspect the ceramic tip periodically for chips or deposits. Follow the manufacturer’s safety manual for all work on machinery protection systems. If you need help selecting the right probe for your application, our team offers hands-on technical support.
