Features:
- 330101-16-40-05-01-05 provides 1.6-inch unthreaded length and 4.0-inch case for deeper probe tip reach.
- 0.5-meter total length with connector protector; CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals for hazardous areas.
- TipLoc molding and CableLoc design deliver 330N pull strength for reliable industrial machine monitoring.
The 330101-16-40-05-01-05 features a 1.6-inch unthreaded length (16 × 0.1"), which is significantly longer than standard configurations. This extended smooth cylindrical section between the probe tip and the threaded portion allows the probe to be inserted deeper into machine casings before the 3/8-24 UNF threads begin to engage. This is particularly useful for applications where the target surface (shaft, gear, or other conductive surface) is recessed deep within the machine housing, such as in large compressors, steam turbines, or gearboxes.
The 330101-16-40-05-01-05 carries agency approval option 05, providing comprehensive certifications for installation in potentially explosive atmospheres worldwide. These include CSA (North America), ATEX (Europe), and IECEx (international), allowing the probe to be installed in Zone 0, Zone 1, Zone 2, Division 1, and Division 2 hazardous locations commonly found in refineries, chemical plants, offshore platforms, and gas pipelines.
The 330101-16-40-05-01-05 incorporates multiple patented design features for maximum durability in harsh industrial environments. TipLoc molding creates a permanent, robust bond between the probe tip and the probe body, eliminating a common failure point found in older designs where the tip could become loose or separate from the body. This is especially critical in high-vibration applications such as turbine monitoring. CableLoc technology secures the probe cable with 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength, preventing accidental disconnection during installation or machine operation.
The 330101-16-40-05-01-05 Bently Nevada Proximity Probe may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond
End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Radial Vibration (Shaft Dynamic Motion): Typically installed in an X-Y orthogonal configuration (90° apart) on a single bearing housing. It measures the dynamic motion of the shaft relative to the bearing, capturing the shaft orbit to diagnose unbalance, misalignment, or oil whirl.
- Axial Thrust Position: Mounted in pairs or redundant configurations facing the shaft collar or end. It tracks micro-level axial shaft shift, which is critical for preventing catastrophic contact between the rotor and stator (e.g., turbine blades hitting the casing).
- Keyphasor & Speed Measurement: Aligned with a keyway or projection on the shaft to trigger a once-per-turn pulse. This provides a precise reference for rotational speed and vibration phase angle, which is essential for dynamic balancing.
- Extreme Temperatures: The probe tip and integral cable withstand continuous operating temperatures from -35°C to +177°C (-31°F to +350°F), accommodating the extreme heat inside turbine and compressor housings.
- Fluid & Oil Resistance (FluidLoc®): The probe tip is molded from high-strength Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) engineering plastic. The -01 cable option features FluidLoc® technology, which prevents lubricating oil from leaking or siphoning through the interior of the cable into external terminal boxes.
- High-Pressure Differential: It features a built-in Viton O-ring sealing mechanism. The probe-to-case seal can withstand differential pressures up to 7 bar (100 psi), preventing internal process fluids or pressurized oil from escaping.
- Signal Pre-Processing: The 0.5-meter probe cable connects to a 4.5-meter extension cable, landing on a Proximitor Sensor. The Proximitor converts the high-frequency eddy-current gap changes into a proportional voltage signal with a standard scale factor of 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil).
- Continuous Monitoring: The voltage signal is routed to a Bently Nevada 3500 Rack (such as a 3500/42M monitor card) or an Orbit 60 module. The rack calculates vibration peak-to-peak amplitude (\(\mu m\) or mils) and absolute position, streaming the data via Modbus TCP or EtherNet/IP to the plant DCS/PLC and Bently Nevada's System 1 software for asset health analytics.
- Dual-Level Thresholds: The 3500 system maintains configuration settings for Alert (Pre-alarm) and Danger (Trip).
