Features:
- 12.7 mm (500 mils) linear range with 0.787 V/mm (20 mV/mil) output; specifically designed for measuring rotor‑to‑stator differential expansion on steam turbines.
- Continuous operation at 200°C (392°F), intermittent up to 250°C (482°F); front/rear seals + FluidLoc® cable prevent moisture ingress.
- Removable collar on ClickLoc™ connector for tight clearance routing; SST armor; connector protectors and installation tool included; multiple agency approvals.
The 330851-02-000-060-10-01-05 is specifically engineered for differential expansion (DE) measurement on steam turbines. Unlike standard 8 mm proximity probes that have a linear range of only 2 mm (80 mils), this 25 mm probe provides a linear range of 12.7 mm (500 mils) with a sensitivity of 0.787 V/mm (20 mV/mil). During turbine startup, the rotor heats up and expands faster than the heavier stator (casing). Without accurate DE monitoring, the rotor blades could contact the casing, causing catastrophic damage. The large linear range of the 330851-02-000-060-10-01-05 allows it to track the full expected DE movement without going out of range.
The 330851-02-000-060-10-01-05 is built to survive the harsh environment inside a steam turbine casing. It operates continuously at temperatures up to 200°C (392°F) and can withstand intermittent excursions up to 250°C (482°F). By comparison, standard 3300 XL 8 mm probes are typically limited to 120°C (248°F). The probe also features both front and rear seals to prevent steam or condensation from entering the probe tip. The FluidLoc® cable is standard on all 25 mm probes – this special cable design blocks wicking of moisture along the cable strands. High‑temperature ClickLoc™ connectors ensure reliable electrical connections even under thermal cycling. For turbine DE applications where the probe must be mounted directly in the hot casing, the 330851-02-000-060-10-01-05 provides the necessary thermal robustness.
The 330851-02-000-060-10-01-05 includes several features that simplify installation in tight turbine casings. The removable collar on the ClickLoc™ connector is unique to the 25 mm probe. During installation, the collar can be removed, allowing the connector to be temporarily disassembled. The cable can then be routed through a small opening (e.g., a conduit fitting or a tight port in the turbine casing) that would not accommodate the full connector diameter. Once the cable is in place, the collar is reinstalled and the connector is reassembled. The probe is supplied with connector protectors and a disposable installation tool to keep the connectors clean during routing. The probe body has SST (stainless steel) armor for mechanical protection. The M30×2 thread is a large metric thread commonly used on turbine casings.

- Small Machinery Monitoring: Suitable for small steam turbines, centrifugal compressors, pumps, and fans with shaft diameters less than 50 mm (2 inches).
- Narrow Space Measurement: The NSv series is the preferred choice when standard 8mm probes cannot be used due to small target surfaces (e.g., narrow shoulders, narrow gears) or narrow mounting hole clearances.
- Specific Functions: Commonly used for radial vibration, axial displacement, and as a speed/keyphasor sensor, especially when the target is a small gear or keyway.
- Temperature Tolerance: The probe and cable typically operate at temperatures from -52°C to +177°C.
- Fluid Resistance: Excellent chemical resistance, resistant to most common lubricants, solvents, and industrial chemicals. The probe tip is encapsulated in PPS material and equipped with an O-ring to withstand differential pressure.
- Hazardous Area Certification (05): Option "05" indicates that this model has multiple international explosion-proof certifications (such as CSA, ATEX, IECEx), suitable for explosive environments in oil, gas, and chemical plants.
- Signal Characteristics: Its output is a negative DC voltage signal. For the NSv system, the standard sensitivity is typically 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil), but its linear range is shorter than that of the 8mm system (approximately 1.5mm).
- System Integration: Data is typically transmitted to a Bently Nevada 3500 monitoring frame or an Orbit 60 system.
- Automation Protection: Through the relay logic of the monitoring system, when excessive axial vibration or excessive axial displacement is detected, the PLC/DCS can be directly triggered to execute an emergency stop (ESD).
