BENTLY 330180-91-05
Product introduction
The BENTLY NEVADA 330180-91-05 is a high – performance proximitor sensor belonging to the renowned 3300 XL series. This series is a result of over 50 years of transducer system engineering by BENTLY NEVADA, a name synonymous with top – class proximity sensor systems.
The 330180-91-05 plays a crucial role in industrial automation systems. It is designed to accurately measure the distance between the probe tip and the observed conductive surface. By converting this distance into an output voltage, it enables precise monitoring of both static (position) and dynamic (vibration) values. In an industrial context, this sensor is a key component for maintaining the smooth operation of machinery. For example, in rotating equipment, it can detect even the slightest misalignment or abnormal vibration, providing real – time data that helps in preventing equipment failures and reducing unplanned downtime.
Core advantages and technical highlights
Installation flexibility
The 330180-91-05 offers two installation methods. It can be installed in high – density DIN rail setups, which is ideal for applications where space is at a premium. Additionally, it can be mounted in a traditional panel mount configuration, sharing the same 4 – hole mounting “footprint” as older proximitor sensor designs. The mounting base for both options provides electrical isolation, eliminating the need for separate isolator plates, thus simplifying the installation process.
High immunity to interference
This sensor is highly immune to radio frequency interference (RFI). It can be installed in fiberglass housings without being affected by nearby RFI signals. Its improved RFI/EMI immunity meets European CE mark approvals without the need for special shielded conduit or metallic housings. This not only reduces installation costs but also makes it suitable for a wider range of industrial environments.
Easy wiring
The spring – loc terminal strips of the 330180-91-05 require no special installation tools. By eliminating screw – type clamping mechanisms that can loosen over time, it ensures faster and more reliable field wiring connections. This feature contributes to the overall durability and ease of maintenance of the sensor.
Typical application scenarios
In the oil and gas industry, the BENTLY NEVADA 330180-91-05 is extensively used in compression systems. Compressors are critical equipment in this industry, and any abnormal vibration or misalignment can lead to significant production losses. The sensor accurately monitors the vibration and position of compressor components, allowing for timely maintenance and preventing costly breakdowns.
For fluid – film bearing machines, such as those found in power generation plants, the sensor is essential. These machines operate under high speeds and heavy loads, and the 330180-91-05 ensures their stable operation by providing accurate vibration and position data. This data helps in optimizing the performance of the machines, reducing wear and tear on bearings, and increasing their lifespan.
In speed measurement applications, for example, in conveyor systems in manufacturing plants, the sensor can precisely measure the rotational speed of motors. This information is used to control the speed of the conveyor, ensuring smooth material flow and efficient production processes.

Installation, commissioning and maintenance instructions
Installation preparation
Before installing the BENTLY NEVADA 330180-91-05, ensure that the installation environment is clean and free from excessive dust, moisture, and strong electromagnetic fields. For DIN rail installation, make sure the DIN rail is in good condition and properly mounted. Use appropriate screwdrivers and pliers for installation. When connecting the sensor to probes and extension cables, follow the wiring diagrams carefully to avoid incorrect connections. Always power off the system before installation to ensure safety.
Maintenance suggestions
Regularly inspect the 330180-91-05 for any signs of physical damage, such as cracks or loose connections, on a monthly basis. Check the sensor’s output signals using a calibrated measuring device quarterly to ensure its accuracy. If there are any abnormal readings, troubleshoot by first checking the connections and then, if necessary, replacing the sensor. In case of replacement, use genuine BENTLY NEVADA spare parts to maintain the performance of the system. Clean the sensor surface gently with a dry, lint – free cloth to remove dust that could affect its performance.
