Bently Nevada 330194-10-20-05-00 – Extended Temperature Range (ETR) Proximity Probe | 3300 XL Series
Engineering Background
The Bently Nevada 330194-10-20-05-00 is an Extended Temperature Range (ETR) proximity probe engineered for continuous, non-contact vibration and position measurement in the most thermally demanding turbomachinery environments. Built on the proven 3300 XL eddy-current platform, this probe delivers measurement fidelity where standard probes fail — from cryogenic cold to high-temperature steam-path installations.
Product Positioning
Designed for procurement engineers specifying condition-monitoring instrumentation on gas turbines, steam turbines, compressors, and large rotating machinery, the 330194-10-20-05-00 is the OEM-specified solution for shaft radial vibration, axial position, and differential expansion measurement in API 670-compliant protection systems.

Proven Application Environments
- Gas Turbines — Radial shaft vibration monitoring at compressor and turbine ends; high-temperature bearing housings up to 177 °C
- Steam Turbines — Axial position and differential expansion measurement in high-pressure steam paths
- Centrifugal Compressors — Continuous shaft orbit and eccentricity monitoring per API 670
- Cryogenic Pumps & Expanders — ETR rating supports sub-zero installations down to –50 °C
- Large Rotating Machinery — Generators, fans, and gearboxes requiring non-contact position feedback
- Petrochemical & Refinery Plants — Hazardous-area installations with IP67 environmental sealing
Engineering Advantages
- Extended Temperature Range — Certified –50 °C to +177 °C; eliminates probe replacement in thermally cycled installations
- Non-Contact Measurement — Zero mechanical wear; continuous operation without maintenance intervals
- High Frequency Response — DC to 10 kHz bandwidth captures sub-synchronous, synchronous, and super-synchronous vibration components
- API 670 Compliance — Drop-in replacement for existing 3300 XL installations; no recalibration of Proximitor® required
- 316 SS Housing — Corrosion-resistant in H₂S, steam, and process-fluid environments
- IP67 Sealing — Suitable for wash-down and outdoor installations
- Long Integral Cable — 20 ft (6.1 m) factory-terminated cable reduces field splicing and signal integrity risk
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The 330194-10-20-05-00 operates as part of the Bently Nevada 3300 XL eddy-current measurement chain:
- Probe Tip — Generates a high-frequency electromagnetic field (oscillator frequency ~1 MHz) directed at the rotating shaft target
- Eddy-Current Induction — Shaft proximity modulates field impedance; gap change of 1 mil produces ~200 mV output change
- Integral Cable — Coaxial, factory-terminated, 20 ft; transmits raw oscillator signal to Proximitor®
- Proximitor® Driver (e.g., 330180) — Demodulates signal; outputs –24 VDC to 0 VDC proportional DC voltage and buffered AC vibration signal
- Monitoring System — 3500 Series rack or equivalent processes signals for alarm, trip, and data acquisition
Note: Total cable length (probe integral cable + extension cable) must not exceed the system-calibrated length. Consult Bently Nevada System 1® calibration data for your specific installation.

Technical FAQ
- Q: Can the 330194-10-20-05-00 replace a standard (non-ETR) 330104 probe?
- A: Yes, provided the Proximitor® is calibrated for the 330194 probe series. ETR probes use the same sensitivity (200 mV/mil) but require ETR-compatible calibration data. Verify with your System 1® calibration file.
- Q: What is the maximum operating temperature?
- A: The ETR variant is rated to +177 °C (350 °F) at the probe tip. Standard 3300 XL probes are rated to +121 °C — the ETR designation specifically addresses this gap.
- Q: Is the probe intrinsically safe / ATEX certified?
- A: Intrinsic safety is a system-level certification dependent on the Proximitor® driver and associated barriers. Consult the Bently Nevada 3300 XL system documentation and your local hazardous-area authority for ATEX/IECEx compliance confirmation.
- Q: What target materials are compatible?
- A: AISI 4140 steel is the standard calibration target. Other ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic alloys (e.g., Inconel, titanium) require recalibration. Contact Konmask for application-specific guidance.
- Q: Do you provide installation and commissioning support?
- A: Yes. Our engineering team provides remote technical support for probe installation, gap setting (nominal 50 mil / 1.27 mm), and Proximitor® output verification. Contact [email protected].
