Bently Nevada 330905-00-08-05-02-05 – Proximity Transducer System Cable for 3300 XL

The BENTLY 330905-00-08-05-02-05 is a factory-configured cable assembly used in the Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximity Transducer System. In many cases it’s the extension cable that links the proximity probe to the Proximitor sensor, carrying the raw eddy-current signal with tight shielding and low noise. From my experience, plants choose this specific build code when they want a drop-in, like-for-like spare with the correct length and connector orientation for existing machinery.

Company’s Order Placement Process and Guarantees

• Delivery time: 1 week if in stock; no more than one month at the latest
• Payment terms: 50% advance payment; full payment prior to delivery
• Express options: FedEx, UPS, DHL

Key Features

• Purpose-built for 3300 XL systems – Designed to interface between Bently Nevada proximity probes and Proximitor sensors with the correct impedance and shielding.
• Stable signal transmission – Low-noise, coaxial construction helps preserve dynamic vibration and gap signals over long runs.
• Rugged plant-ready build – Typically specified for industrial environments with oil, vibration, and temperature cycling.
• Factory-coded configuration – The “-00-08-05-02-05” options define approvals, length/connector selections, and mechanical details for drop-in replacement.
• Backwards compatibility – Works within the 3300 XL transducer chain without requiring monitor retuning in most cases.

Technical Specifications

Application Fields

This cable is used across rotating machinery monitoring in oil & gas, power generation, chemicals, pulp & paper, and steel. Typical points include:

• Radial vibration on compressors, gas/steam turbines, and large motors
• Thrust (axial) position monitoring on turbo-machinery
• Casing expansion and shaft phase reference where 3300 XL probes are deployed

Advantages & Value

• Reliability – One thing I appreciate is how stable the signal stays after replacement, which reduces nuisance trips and rebalancing work.
• Compatibility – Built for the 3300 XL chain, so you typically avoid surprises with monitor scaling or gap voltage.
• Reduced downtime – Pre-matched configuration means faster swap during outages, which, in many cases, pays for itself in saved hours.
• Technical support – We can cross-check your probe and Proximitor part numbers to ensure the exact cable length and connectors.

A maintenance lead at a refinery told me their team prefers ordering by full code because “it drops straight in, no re-terminations, no arguing with routing.” That seems to be the experience most teams report.

Installation & Maintenance

• Environment – Mount Proximitor in a clean, ventilated cabinet if possible. Route cable away from high-voltage lines to minimize induced noise.
• Wiring – Maintain proper bend radius; avoid sharp bends and crush points. Keep connectors clean and fully seated; torque lock-nuts per Bently guidance.
• Shielding/ground – Follow single-point grounding practice for the transducer system. Don’t defeat the cable shield.
• Checks – After installation, verify gap voltage and dynamic response at the monitor. Periodically inspect for abrasion, oil saturation, or loose fittings.
• Service – No calibration is required for the cable itself, but re-validate the transducer chain after any component swap. Firmware updates apply to monitors, not this cable.

Quality & Certifications

• CE marking (typical for Bently transducer components)
• RoHS conformant materials where applicable
• Manufactured under ISO 9001 quality systems
• Supplier warranty: 365 days

Tip: If you’re matching an installed route, share your existing probe and Proximitor part numbers and the measured cable length. It helps us confirm that 330905-00-08-05-02-05 aligns with your machine’s exact configuration.
