Product introduction

The 330130-080-00-00 from Bently Nevada is a high-precision calibration fixture kit specifically engineered for the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor System, serving as an essential tool for ensuring accurate proximity sensor measurements in critical machinery monitoring applications. This specialized fixture provides a controlled environment for setting and verifying precise gap distances between proximity sensors and target surfaces, which is fundamental to reliable vibration, position, and displacement monitoring. Bently Nevada’s 330130-080-00-00 is designed to work seamlessly with 330100-90-01 sensor housings and 330180 series sensors, ensuring that the calibration accuracy is maintained throughout the sensor’s operational lifecycle.

Bently Nevada’s 330130-080-00-00 plays a pivotal role in preserving the integrity of the entire monitoring chain, from sensor to control system. By providing a known reference gap during calibration, it ensures that the low-level signals transmitted through cables like the 330103-00-03-05-02-05 remain accurate and reliable. This calibration fixture is critical for validating sensor performance after installation, during maintenance intervals, and after any system modifications, ensuring that protection thresholds in controllers like the 1900/27 are correctly set to prevent false alarms and missed faults.

Core advantages and technical highlights

Ultra-high precision calibration: The 330130-080-00-00 delivers exceptional calibration accuracy of ±0.005 mm, making it ideal for applications requiring the highest measurement precision. This level of accuracy ensures that even minute changes in sensor output can be reliably detected and measured, which is critical for identifying early-stage machinery faults before they escalate into serious issues.

Optimized measurement range: With a 0 to 12.7 mm (0 to 0.5 inch) adjustable gap range, the 330130-080-00-00 is specifically tailored for proximity sensors used in applications where precise short-range measurements are required. This range is perfectly suited for monitoring shaft vibration, axial position, and radial movement in rotating machinery, complementing the capabilities of the 330130-085-00-00 with a more focused measurement scope.

Rigid construction for stability: The fixture features a rigid anodized aluminum base and stainless steel adjustment components that minimize deflection and thermal expansion, ensuring stable measurements even in varying environmental conditions. This construction maintains calibration accuracy over repeated use, reducing the need for frequent fixture recalibration.

NIST-traceable certification: Each 330130-080-00-00 kit includes a calibration certificate traceable to NIST standards, providing documented proof of accuracy that is essential for compliance in regulated industries. This traceability ensures that sensor measurements can be confidently validated during audits and quality control inspections.

Typical application scenarios

In turbomachinery monitoring applications, the 330130-080-00-00 is used to calibrate proximity sensors measuring shaft vibration and position in gas and steam turbines. Its high precision allows technicians to set exact initial gaps, ensuring that the subtle vibration patterns indicative of rotor imbalance or misalignment are accurately captured. This calibration is particularly critical during turbine commissioning and after major overhauls, where precise sensor setup directly impacts the reliability of protection systems.

Oil and gas compression facilities utilize the 330130-080-00-00 to calibrate proximity sensors on compressor shafts and bearing housings. The fixture’s precision ensures that the sensors can reliably detect the small clearance changes that indicate bearing wear or shaft movement, allowing for predictive maintenance before catastrophic failures occur. The calibration data from the 330130-080-00-00 supports compliance with API 670 standards for machinery protection systems.

In manufacturing environments, the 330130-080-00-00 is employed to calibrate sensors monitoring high-precision machinery such as CNC lathes and machining centers. Its accuracy ensures that spindle vibration and tool position are measured with sufficient precision to maintain product quality, while its compact design allows for easy use in factory floor environments or calibration laboratories.

Installation, commissioning and maintenance instructions

Calibration preparation: Before using the 330130-080-00-00, ensure the work area is clean, vibration-free, and within the 15°C to 35°C ideal temperature range. Allow the fixture to acclimate to ambient temperature for at least 30 minutes before use to minimize thermal effects on measurements. Required tools include a calibrated multimeter or signal analyzer, sensor cables, and the specific 330100-90-01 housing if calibrating installed sensors. Inspect the fixture for any damage to precision surfaces or adjustment mechanisms that could affect accuracy.

Maintenance suggestions: To maintain the precision of the 330130-080-00-00, store it in the provided protective carrying case when not in use, protecting it from dust, moisture, and physical shock. Clean precision surfaces regularly with a lint-free cloth slightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol, avoiding abrasive materials that could scratch measurement surfaces. Verify the fixture’s accuracy annually using NIST-traceable standards or return it to Bently Nevada for recalibration. Keep all calibration certificates and verification records on file for audit purposes. Avoid excessive force when adjusting the gap mechanism to prevent damage to precision components.
