Features:
- Drop-In Replacement for Legacy Button Probes
- Extreme Environment Robustness
- FluidLoc® Anti-Wicking Protection
The Bently Nevada 330232-01-10-12-00 is engineered with a minimal 8.4mm tip height, allowing it to directly replace older, obsolete right-angle probes. It retrofits into existing glued or clamped mounting pads without costly machining modifications, saving hours of downtime during turbine overhauls.
While traditional right-angle probes use fragile fiberglass, this model utilizes a PPS and stainless steel assembly. The Bently Nevada 330232-01-10-12-00 withstands high vibration amplitudes and harsh chemical exposure, significantly reducing the risk of probe tip breakage inside the compressor casing.
Oil wicking through probe cables is a leading cause of false machine trips. The Bently Nevada 330232-01-10-12-00 incorporates FluidLoc® technology, which seals the coaxial cable internally, preventing oil from migrating from the machine casing to the electronic Proximitor sensor or junction box, ensuring uninterrupted signal integrity.
The 330232-01-10-12-00 Bently Nevada 90° Button-Style Proximity Probe Tip Assembly may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Steam & Gas Turbines: Specifically designed for bearing vibration monitoring in casing drain areas or tight coupling spaces where standard probes cannot physically fit.
- High-Speed Compressors: Used to monitor shaft vibration in hermetically sealed refrigerant or natural gas compressors requiring a small, non-intrusive profile.
- Gearboxes: Mounts within the gear mesh housing to measure case vibration or shaft relative vibration without obstructing oil flow paths.
- Turbomachinery Retrofits: Ideal for upgrading legacy machines that originally used glued-on button probes, providing a modern eddy-current sensor without modifying the rotor.
- High-Temperature Operation: Engineered to survive continuous operation at +177°C (+350°F) at the probe tip, allowing placement near turbine stages without active cooling.
- Fluid Immersion Resistance: The FluidLoc® technology in the Bently Nevada 330232-01-10-12-00 prevents dielectric breakdown even when the cable jacket is submerged in oil or grease for extended periods.
- Pressure Tolerance: Designed for differential pressures found in industrial casings; the molded PPS body resists deformation under high static pressure environments.
- Chemical Resistance: The stainless steel and PPS construction resists common industrial chemicals, hydrogen sulfide, and ammonia found in refinery and petrochemical environments.
- Radial Vibration (Peak-to-Peak): Provides high-fidelity analog signals to the 3300/3500 monitoring systems to detect imbalance, misalignment, or bearing wear in real-time.
- Thrust (Axial) Position: Monitors rotor movement relative to the stator casing, preventing catastrophic rubs and surges in centrifugal compressors.
- Shaft Eccentricity: Measures the bow or sag of a turbine shaft during startup (slow roll) to ensure thermal uniformity before tripping the machine.
- Phase/Speed Reference: Although a proximity probe, this model can be used as a keyphasor trigger to provide precise 1-per-revolution timing signals for synchronous analysis.
