BENTLY 330180-91-CN

Product introduction

The BENTLY NEVADA 330180-91-CN is a high-performance proximitor sensor belonging to the renowned 3300 XL series, designed specifically for precise measurement of vibration, position, and speed in industrial rotating machinery. As a critical component in machinery health monitoring systems, it serves as a bridge between field sensors and control systems, converting raw probe signals into actionable data.

In industrial automation, maintaining optimal machinery performance is vital. The 330180-91-CN excels in this role by accurately processing signals from eddy current probes. It transforms the subtle changes in gap between the probe and rotating components into a proportional voltage output, enabling real-time monitoring of shaft vibration, axial position, and rotational speed. This data is crucial for predicting equipment failures, especially in critical assets like turbines, compressors, and motors. Complementing devices such as the 1701/15 vibration transmitter, the 330180-91-CN provides deeper insights into machinery condition, making it indispensable in comprehensive condition monitoring setups.

Core advantages and technical highlights

Enhanced RFI immunity: The 330180-91-CN is engineered with advanced shielding technology, ensuring high resistance to radio frequency interference. This allows it to operate reliably in environments with heavy electrical noise, such as near motors, variable frequency drives, or high-voltage equipment, without signal distortion. In a steel mill application, this feature prevented false alarms caused by nearby arc furnaces, improving monitoring accuracy by 30%.

Broad compatibility: Designed to work seamlessly with 3300 series and 3300 XL eddy current probes, the 330180-91-CN offers flexibility in system configuration. It can be integrated into both new installations and existing 3300 XL networks, making upgrades or expansions straightforward. This compatibility reduces the need for extensive reengineering when updating monitoring systems.

Precise measurement: With an accuracy of ±1% and a linear range of 2mm, the 330180-91-CN captures even the smallest changes in machinery behavior. In a power plant turbine application, it detected a 0.02mm axial shift that was missed by older sensors, allowing maintenance teams to address the issue before it escalated into a major failure.

Robust design: Operating reliably in temperatures from -40°C to +85°C, the 330180-91-CN thrives in harsh industrial environments. Its rugged construction ensures longevity in settings with vibration, dust, and temperature fluctuations, minimizing replacement frequency and downtime.

Typical application scenarios

In thermal power plants, the BENTLY NEVADA 330180-91-CN is installed on steam turbines to monitor shaft vibration and axial position. Turbines operate at high speeds and temperatures, and even minor deviations can lead to catastrophic failures. The sensor provides real-time data to the plant’s DCS, enabling operators to track changes in vibration patterns. When paired with the 1701/15 vibration transmitter for bearing housing vibration monitoring, it creates a comprehensive picture of turbine health, reducing unplanned shutdowns by up to 40%.

In petrochemical refineries, the 330180-91-CN is used on centrifugal compressors. These compressors handle volatile fluids, making reliable condition monitoring critical. The sensor detects impeller imbalance, shaft misalignment, and bearing wear by measuring subtle changes in shaft position and vibration. This data is used to schedule predictive maintenance, avoiding costly compressor failures that could halt production. In one refinery, the sensor’s early warning of a developing shaft misalignment saved over $200,000 in potential repair costs.

Installation, commissioning and maintenance instructions

Installation preparation: Before installing BENTLY NEVADA 330180-91-CN, ensure the DIN rail in the control cabinet is clean, straight, and securely mounted. Use a torque wrench to fasten the sensor to the rail with 2.5 Nm torque. Verify that the power supply voltage matches the sensor’s requirements (-17.5Vdc to -26Vdc without safety barriers). Use shielded twisted-pair cables (22 AWG) for probe connections, grounding the shield at both ends to minimize interference. Power off all related equipment during installation to prevent electrical damage.

Maintenance suggestions: Inspect 330180-91-CN quarterly for loose connections, corrosion, or signs of overheating. Clean the sensor housing with a dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust. Calibrate annually using a standard gap fixture to ensure measurement accuracy within ±1%. If output signals are unstable, check cable connections first; replace damaged cables with genuine BENTLY NEVADA parts. Store spare 330180-91-CN units in a dry environment at 5°C to 30°C to preserve performance.
