Eddy-Current Probe Scaling and Rotor Dynamics

The 330103-00-05-10-02-00 probe employs eddy-current technology to detect shaft displacement relative to the probe tip. To ensure accurate monitoring of rotor dynamics, the system is calibrated to a nominal factor of 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil). During installation, the gap voltage must be validated against a -10 VDC target at the mid-range of the linear measurement span. The system is designed for interchangeability, meaning components like probes and extension cables can be replaced without requiring individual bench calibration, provided they remain within the 3300 XL product family series.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this probe require matching with the extension cable or Proximitor?

A: No. The 3300 XL system is designed for complete component interchangeability. Probes, extension cables, and Proximitor sensors can be replaced individually without the need to match or bench calibrate the system components.

Q: Can this probe be used in high-temperature environments?

A: Yes. The probe is rated for operation between -51 deg C and +177 deg C. However, ensure that the cable and connector are also protected from process fluids or abrasive environmental conditions to maintain signal integrity.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Mounting: Secure the probe in a rigid mounting bracket. Use the provided locknuts to fix the position once the gap voltage is verified. Ensure the probe tip is perpendicular to the target shaft.
• Target Surface: The target must be conductive. AISI 4140 steel is the standard reference material; use of other materials may require a correction factor to the sensitivity.
• Clearance: Observe a minimum side-view clearance of 15 mm from the probe tip to any metallic obstruction to avoid signal interference.
• Connector Handling: The ClickLoc connector is designed for secure, vibration-resistant coupling. When installing, ensure the connector protector is correctly seated to prevent ingress of contaminants.
