Expert Review

The 330172-00-40-10-02-00 is a solid 5mm probe for vibration monitoring. Bently Nevada makes top quality sensors. This probe works from -35°C to +177°C. The PPS tip resists chemicals. Armor cable adds strength for factory use. The 1.0m cable gives more reach than 0.5m versions. A great choice for machine protection.

Manager’s Insight

We like this probe for turbines and compressors. The 4.0 inch case fits standard mounting holes. No agency approval means lower cost. ClickLoc connector is easy to install. Stock ready. For longer cables, check 2m or 5m versions. Good value for Bently Nevada quality.

Suitable Devices & Applications

• Steam turbines (shaft vibration monitoring)
• Gas compressors (thrust position)
• Large pumps (bearing vibration)
• Generators (shaft radial vibration)
• Fans and blowers (overspeed protection)
• Paper mill rollers (position sensing)

Comparison with Other Models

• 330191-40-75-20-00 – Extended case, 2m cable, no approval
• 330191-40-75-20-CN – Extended case, 2m cable, country certified

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What power supply do I need?
A: Use -17.5 Vdc to -26 Vdc. Less than -23.5 Vdc may reduce linear range. Max 12 mA.

Q: Can this probe work in high heat?
A: Yes. Max probe temp is +177°C. Do not go below -34°C or seal may fail.

Q: What is the difference between 00 and CN approval?
A: 00 means no agency approval. CN means country specific approval. Pick 00 for lower cost.

Q: How tight should I install it?
A: Torque to 5.1 N·m (45 in·lb). Max 7.3 N·m (65 in·lb). Do not over tighten.

Q: What is the warranty?
A: 12 months from invoice date. Covers factory defects. Fast replacement.

Q: How fast do you ship?
A: 12-24 hour dispatch for stock items. Use FedEx, UPS, or DHL. Tracking provided.

Q: Can I bend the cable sharply?
A: No. Min bend radius is 25.4 mm (1.0 in). Sharp bends damage the cable.

Q: What drill size for mounting hole?
A: Use #3 or larger tap drill for 1/4-28 thread. Max thread engagement 0.375 in.
