Description
Bently Nevada 330196-05-30-50-05 – 3300 XL Proximity Transducer Extension Cable for Reliable Machine Vibration Monitoring
The Bently Nevada 330196-05-30-50-05 is part of the 3300 XL proximity transducer system, serving as the factory-configured extension cable between the proximity probe and the Proximitor sensor. In many cases, this is the component that quietly determines whether your shaft vibration and axial position readings stay stable over time. One thing I appreciate is how these cables maintain measurement integrity in high-EMI industrial environments—typically the difference between repeatable data and drifting baselines. If you’re standardizing to API 670 practices, this cable helps keep the chain of probe–extension–Proximitor matched and consistent.

Key Features
- Engineered for 3300 XL systems – Designed to interconnect Bently Nevada 3300 XL proximity probes and Proximitor sensors for vibration, radial/axial displacement, and thrust measurements.
- Stable signal transmission – Coaxial construction helps preserve probe calibration over distance and reduces noise pickup in electrically harsh environments.
- Option-coded build – The suffix “-05-30-50-05” denotes the factory-defined length and connector/jacket options; it ensures the entire probe–cable–Proximitor set is correctly matched.
- Industrial temperature capability – Typically suitable for machinery spaces with wide ambient swings; supports continuous-duty rotating equipment.
- Drop-in replacement – Matches existing 3300 XL installations, helping you swap cables during turnarounds without reworking brackets or conduit runs.
Technical Specifications

| Power Requirements | Passive component; no external power (probe/Proximitor powered by monitor) |
| Operating Temperature | Typically -51°C to +121°C for 3300 XL extension cables (depends on jacket option) |
| Signal Input/Output Types | Coaxial interconnect for eddy-current proximity probe to Proximitor sensor (RF/conditioning path) |
| Communication Interfaces | None (signal cabling only) |
| Dimensions & Weight | Factory-configured length and build per suffix; compact OD suitable for routing in conduit/trays |
| Installation Method | Inline between probe and Proximitor; route in shielded conduit or segregated cable tray; maintain minimum bend radius |
Application Fields
From my experience, this model shows up wherever continuous vibration or position measurements are critical:
- Steam and gas turbines (radial vibration and thrust position)
- Centrifugal and screw compressors in petrochemical plants
- Critical pumps and fans (bearing condition and shaft displacement)
- Gearboxes and expanders in refinery and power applications
Advantages & Value
- Reliability – Consistent signal transfer helps keep your proximity readings within tolerance, reducing nuisance trips.
- Compatibility – Made for 3300 XL transducer chains; helps maintain API 670-style sensor matching across assets.
- Lifecycle cost – Durable build extends service intervals; fewer unplanned cable swaps saves labor and spares budget.
- Technical support – We can help verify the suffix mapping (length, connector orientation, jacket/armor) against your installed base before shipment.
“We replaced a mixed-batch of legacy cables with 330196 assemblies during a turnaround. Trending stabilized right away—probe gaps held steady and our 3500 alarms stopped chattering.” — Maintenance Supervisor, Fertilizer Plant
Installation & Maintenance
- Environment – Mount the Proximitor in a ventilated cabinet or junction box; keep the cable run away from VFD power lines and high-voltage conduits.
- Cable routing – Use shielded conduit or segregated trays; maintain the minimum bend radius (typically ≥10× cable OD) and avoid crush points.
- Connections – Hand-tighten the micro‑coax connectors, then snug gently; avoid over-torque to protect the center conductor.
- Grounding – Follow Bently Nevada grounding practices; terminate shields as specified at the Proximitor end to minimize ground loops.
- Routine care – Inspect during outages for jacket damage, moisture ingress, and connector wear; confirm probe gap and 200 mV/mil calibration in the monitor after any cable replacement.
- Firmware/monitor checks – When you change any part of the transducer chain, verify monitor configuration (scale factors, alarms) and revalidate trends.
Quality & Certifications
- CE-marked and RoHS-compliant components are typical for 3300 XL transducer systems
- UL/cUL and other regional approvals may apply when used as part of an approved system
- Manufacturer’s warranty commonly supported; we provide a 365-day warranty on supply
Related Components (for a complete chain)
- 3300 XL Proximity Probe assemblies (5 mm / 8 mm tip, various lengths)
- 3300 XL Proximitor Sensors (matching the selected probe type and cable)
- 3500/3701 series monitors for API 670-compliant protection and trending
You might notice the “-05-30-50-05” suffix on your BOM; those characters define the exact length and connector/jacket options. If you share your installed probe and Proximitor models, we’ll cross-check the suffix to ensure a true like-for-like replacement before shipping.
