Bently Nevada 330904-00-07-50-02-00 – Non-Contact Shaft Vibration Measurement | 3300 XL NSv Proximity Transducer System
Engineering Background
The Bently Nevada 3300 XL NSv (Non-Standard voltage) Proximity Transducer System is a precision eddy-current sensing solution engineered for continuous, non-contact measurement of shaft radial vibration, axial position, and differential expansion in critical rotating machinery. Developed under Baker Hughes’ Bently Nevada machinery protection portfolio, this system is the field-proven successor to the legacy 3300 XL series, delivering enhanced signal fidelity and broader compatibility with modern condition monitoring platforms.
Product Positioning
Part number 330904-00-07-50-02-00 is a complete transducer system configured for 7.87 mm (5/16-18 UNF) probe tip, 5.0 m (16.4 ft) extension cable, and a standard Proximitor® sensor. It is the preferred choice for procurement engineers specifying OEM-equivalent replacements in turbines, compressors, pumps, and gearboxes where API 670 compliance is mandatory.

- Extended Temperature Range: Probe rated to +177 °C for high-temperature bearing housings without performance degradation.
- Matched System Calibration: Probe, extension cable, and Proximitor® sensor are factory-matched and calibrated as a system, eliminating field calibration errors.
- Hazardous Area Rated: ATEX/IECEx certified for Zone 0/1 installations in explosive atmospheres.
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The 330904-00-07-50-02-00 operates as a three-component matched system:
- Probe (330900 series): Generates a high-frequency electromagnetic field (1.0 MHz nominal). Eddy currents induced in the rotating shaft attenuate the field proportionally to gap distance.
- Extension Cable (330130 series): 5.0 m coaxial cable maintains signal integrity between probe and Proximitor®. Impedance-matched to system specification.
- Proximitor® Sensor (330180 series): Demodulates the RF signal and outputs a DC-coupled voltage proportional to probe gap. Output feeds directly to monitor channel inputs (e.g., Bently Nevada 3500/40M, 3500/42M).
Signal path: Shaft gap → Probe → Extension Cable → Proximitor® → –24 VDC analog output → Monitor/DCS input

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the 330904-00-07-50-02-00 a direct replacement for the 330900-00-07-50-02-00?
A: Yes. The 330904 series is the current production revision of the 330900 series with identical mechanical and electrical interfaces. No wiring or mounting changes are required.
Q: Can this system be used with non-Bently Nevada monitors?
A: Yes. The –24 VDC analog output is compatible with any monitor or DCS input accepting a standard proximity transducer signal, provided the power supply meets –24 VDC ± 1 VDC specification.
Q: What is the shelf life of an unused unit?
A: Bently Nevada specifies a 10-year shelf life for properly stored units. All stock at Konmask.com is within manufacturer shelf life and stored per IPC-1601 guidelines.
Q: Do you provide ATEX documentation for hazardous area installations?
A: Yes. ATEX/IECEx certificates and EC Declaration of Conformity are available upon request at no additional charge.
Q: What is the minimum order quantity?
A: MOQ is 1 unit. Volume pricing is available for orders of 5 units or more.
