General

  • Manufacturer GE / Bently Nevada
  • Model 330232-05-05-12-05
  • Condition New Original ready stock
  • Product Family 330232-05-08-12-00,330232-06-05-12-CN,330102-00-13-10-01-00
Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
  • Connector Protection: Button probe connectors are extremely fragile. Connector protectors (transparent sleeves) or heat shrink tubing must be used to prevent oil and moisture from entering the connector and causing signal drift.
  • Physical Clearance: When installed inside bearing housings, ensure the cable routing is not rubbed against the rotor or rotating parts. Wear and tear on the cable sheath can lead to shielding failure and data errors.
  • Cable Securing: Use stainless steel cable clamps to secure the cable and prevent metal fatigue or breakage at the cable root due to vibration during operation.
  • Environmental Sealing: If installed in an oil mist chamber, ensure the cable sealing glands are intact to prevent lubricating oil from flowing along the cable to the external instrument box.
  • Series Migration: This probe is from the 3300 XL series and can directly replace the older 7200 or 3300 5mm/8mm button probes, providing better linearity and wider temperature stability.
  • Material Upgrade: If the environment has extremely strong chemical corrosion, it is recommended to upgrade to the 330231 (All-PPS) model, whose all-plastic construction offers better corrosion resistance.
  • Armor Upgrade: If the field cabling lacks protective conduit, consider replacing it with an extension cable with SST armor to enhance resistance to mechanical damage and rodent bites.
  • System Integration: It is recommended to use it with the 3300 XL Proximitor and connect it to the 3500 system or Orbit 60 for a higher level of waveform analysis and self-diagnostic capabilities.
  • Confined Space Installation: Specifically designed for areas where standard 3/8-24 or M10 probes cannot be installed vertically due to height limitations (e.g., inside compact radial bearings).
  • 90-Degree Mounting: Suitable for situations where the probe mounting hole is perpendicular to the rotor axis and there is insufficient external space to accommodate a long probe body.
  • Small Machine Radial Vibration: Commonly used inside the housings of small motors, pumps, or centrifuges to directly monitor the radial vibration of the rotor journal.
  • Thrust/Axial Position Assisted Monitoring: Utilizing the flatness of a button probe to measure axial displacement in certain customized thrust bearing blocks.
Description
The Bently Nevada 330232-05-05-12-05 Button Probe delivers a compact and robust solution for machinery monitoring where space constraints limit conventional probe placement. Its 90° molded polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) and stainless steel tip assembly provides enhanced durability over all-fiberglass designs, allowing installation in challenging industrial environments without compromising performance.

This probe supports an 80 mil linear range and a 200 mV/mil scale factor, making it suitable for both radial vibration and thrust position measurements. With a tip height of just 8.4 mm (0.33 in), it fits into standard button probe packages while also accommodating custom probe cases or brackets. Its compatibility with Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm Proximitor sensors and extension cables simplifies spare parts management and system maintenance.

Operating across a wide temperature range of -51°C to +177°C (-60°F to +350°F), the 330232-05-05-12-05 Button Probe can withstand extreme conditions encountered in turbines, compressors, and other rotating equipment. The integrated FluidLoc® coaxial cable prevents oil wicking, protecting both the sensor and surrounding equipment from contamination.

The new 90° tip assembly offers faster manufacturing and delivery times compared to previous custom-engineered right-angle probes. Its flexible design allows it to replace older button probes, integrate into existing installations, or adapt to specialized mounting configurations. Bently Nevada continues to supply the all-PPS button probe (part number 330231) for customers preferring legacy designs, while the 330232-05-05-12-05 Button Probe represents the most advanced, versatile option for tight-space monitoring.

Industrial users benefit from its improved robustness, extended range, and standardized configurations, making the 330232-05-05-12-05 Button Probe an ideal choice for both new installations and upgrades of legacy 3300 XL systems.
