Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330130-080-02-AE is a 3300 XL Standard Extension Cable designed for use with the Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System.

It provides the signal connection between the 3300 XL proximity probe and the Proximitor sensor, ensuring accurate transmission of vibration, displacement, and Keyphasor signals for rotating machinery condition monitoring and protection.

Featuring an 8-meter cable length, this model is suitable for installations requiring extended cable routing while maintaining signal integrity. The “-AE” suffix denotes a specific configuration or regional ordering variant within the product series.

Technical Specifications

Function and Working Principle

The 330130-080-02-AE functions as a low-loss coaxial transmission cable, carrying the analog signal generated by the proximity probe to the Proximitor sensor while preserving signal quality.

Signal Transmission Process

1. The proximity probe detects shaft movement using eddy-current technology.
2. The probe converts shaft displacement into an analog electrical signal.
3. The extension cable transmits the signal with minimal attenuation.
4. The Proximitor sensor conditions the signal for monitoring and protection systems.
