Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330130-080-13-05 is a 3300 XL Standard Extension Cable used in the Bently Nevada 3300 XL proximity transducer system.

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

This model features an 8-meter cable length and a heavy-duty construction, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments where mechanical robustness and signal stability are both required.

Technical Specifications

Function and Working Principle

The 330130-080-13-05 functions as a low-loss coaxial transmission cable, carrying analog signals generated by the proximity probe to the Proximitor sensor with minimal attenuation and interference.

Signal Flow

1. The proximity probe detects shaft vibration using eddy-current sensing.
2. Mechanical movement is converted into an analog electrical signal.
3. The extension cable transmits the signal to the Proximitor sensor.
4. The Proximitor sensor conditions the signal for monitoring and protection systems.
