Bently Nevada 330130-045-02-00 – 4.5 m Extension Cable for 3300 XL Proximity Transducer Systems

The Bently Nevada 330130-045-02-00 is a factory-configured 4.5 m extension cable designed for 3300 XL proximity transducer systems. In many cases it’s the simplest way to restore a probe run without pulling new conduit—connect the ClickLoc ends to the probe and Proximitor, route it cleanly, and you’re back online. One thing I appreciate is how consistently this series maintains calibration across the full system length when paired with matching probes and Proximitor sensors.

Order Process & Guarantees

• Warranty: 365 days
• Delivery time: typically 1 week if in stock; no more than 1 month at the latest
• Payment: 50% advance payment, full payment before delivery
• Express delivery: FedEx, UPS, DHL

Key Features

• 4.5 m factory length (045 code): Supports common 5 mm/8 mm 3300 XL system lengths for accurate gap measurements.
• ClickLoc coax connectors: Threaded 3/8-24 UNF style ends provide secure locking and repeatable electrical contact, even with vibration.
• Low-noise, shielded coax: Built to preserve the integrity of the eddy-current signal from probe to Proximitor.
• Robust jacket materials: Fluoropolymer-style outer jacket that typically handles oils and plant environments better than PVC cables.
• Drop-in compatibility: Intended for Bently Nevada 3300 XL proximity probes and Proximitor sensors—no rewiring of modules.
• Service-friendly: Easy replacement in tight cabinets; standard torque on connectors keeps installation predictable.

Technical Specifications

Application Fields

From my experience, this cable shows up everywhere a proximity probe does. Typical uses:

• Steam and gas turbines – radial/axial shaft vibration and thrust position
• Compressors and expanders – proximity and phase reference runs
• Pumps, motors, gearboxes – bearing and shaft monitoring in harsh areas
• Paper, steel, and petrochemical lines – long probe runs through routed conduit

Advantages & Value for Procurement

• Assured compatibility: Built for 3300 XL systems; avoids the drift and headaches seen with off-brand coax.
• Reliability in vibration: ClickLoc threads hold; less chance of intermittent gaps, especially on high-speed trains.
• Cost-saving maintenance: Replace the cable only—keep the probe and Proximitor in place, shorten the outage window.
• Proven in the field: Maintenance teams typically report stable bias voltage after swap with no extra tuning.

A maintenance supervisor shared: “We swapped in a 330130-045-02-00 on a compressor casing—signal noise dropped immediately, no re-zeroing needed.”

Installation & Maintenance

• Environment: Mount the Proximitor in a ventilated cabinet; avoid routing alongside VFD or high-current power lines to reduce EMI.
• Routing: Maintain gentle bends; avoid pinch points and sharp edges; use proper clamps every 30–50 cm where feasible.
• Connections: Hand-start threads, then tighten to the typical ClickLoc torque (~0.56 N·m). Do not over-torque.
• Grounding: Follow plant grounding practices; improper shields can introduce noise in some cases.
• Upkeep: Periodically inspect connectors for looseness or contamination; clean with lint-free swab; verify bias/gap on PMs.

Quality & Certifications

• CE marking for applicable directives
• RoHS compliant materials
• Manufacturer warranty typically 1 year; our coverage: 365 days

Related Components You Might Need

• Bently Nevada 330180-xxx-xx-xx 8 mm proximity probes
• Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximitor Sensors (5 mm / 8 mm systems)
• Mounting hardware and connector protectors for harsh environments

If you’re standardizing spares, the 4.5 m length is a safe middle ground for many machines. You might notice fewer calibration surprises when the total system length matches probe + extension + Proximitor spec.
