🧠 Manager’s Insight & Applications

Why pick the -26 version? The 2.6-inch case is perfect when space is limited — for example, on small compressors or pumps with shallow mounting bosses. You get the full performance of a 5mm Proximity Probes system without excess length. In our experience, this model reduces installation headaches in retrofits where original tapped holes are shallow.

Ideal for: steam turbines, centrifugal compressors, gearboxes, cooling tower fans, and hydro generators. Also suitable for axial position monitoring and keyphasor applications.

🔁 Comparison with Similar Models

• 330171-00-20-05-02-CN: 2.0 inch case, 0.5 meter cable, CN connector option. Best for extremely short clearances and Chinese market systems.
• 330171-00-30-10-02-00: 3.0 inch case, 1.0 meter cable, same connector. A middle ground if you need a bit more reach but not the full 4 inches.

Selection tip: Measure your existing mounting depth. If space is tight, go with -26. For standard clearance, -30 or -40 work well.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (Field Expertise)

• Q: What does the “26” in the model mean for my installation?A: It means the stainless steel case is 2.6 inches long. Use this when the probe mounts into a shallow hole. It prevents the tip from bottoming out.
• Q: Can I use this probe with an older Bently Nevada monitor?A: Yes, if the monitor is designed for 3300 Series 5mm Proximity Probes. Check that your Proximitor matches the 1.0m system length.
• Q: How fast will I receive this probe?A: We dispatch within 12-24 hours via FedEx, UPS, or DHL. Typical transit is 2-5 days worldwide.
• Q: What if I need a longer warranty?A: The standard is 12 months. Contact us for extended coverage options — we can often arrange it for large orders.
• Q: Is the PPS tip resistant to oil and chemicals?A: Yes, PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) stands up to most turbine oils, lubricants, and mild chemicals. It is a robust choice for machinery monitoring.
