Product Overview:
The Bently Nevada 330881 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe is a high-performance sensor designed for accurate proximity measurement in industrial machinery. This probe features the PROXPAC XL Housing, which integrates the proximity probe and its associated Proximitor sensor into a single, self-contained unit. This design eliminates the need for an extension cable and a separate Proximitor housing, simplifying installation and reducing maintenance.

FAQ:
Q1: How does the PROXPAC XL Housing improve the system?
- The PROXPAC XL Housing integrates both the proximity probe and Proximitor sensor into a single unit, eliminating the need for extension cables and separate sensor housings. This simplifies installation, improves system reliability, and reduces maintenance costs.
Q2: What is the benefit of the PPS housing material?
- The PPS housing provides excellent protection against chemicals, temperature extremes, and mechanical stress. The material is also designed to dissipate electrostatic charges, ensuring stable operation in critical environments.
Q3: Can the 330881 probe be used in hazardous environments?
- Yes, the 330881 probe with PROXPAC XL housing is rated IP66 and Type 4X, offering protection against dust, water, and other environmental factors, making it suitable for use in harsh and hazardous environments.
Q4: What is the purpose of the standoff adapter option?
- The standoff adapter (100 mm) extends the probe's reach, allowing it to be mounted in locations where additional clearance is needed, such as areas with tight access or where deeper penetration into machinery is required.
Q5: What kind of fitting options are available for installation?
- The 330881 probe comes with a fittings kit that includes a 3/4-14 NPT fitting, a 3/4-14 NPT to 1/2-14 NPT SST reducer, and two plugs, offering flexibility for different installation configurations.
Q6: How does the PROXPAC XL system reduce wiring complexity?
- The PROXPAC XL system integrates the Proximitor sensor directly into the housing, eliminating the need for separate Proximitor wiring, which reduces installation complexity and the possibility of wiring errors.
