Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 16699-01-02-02 belongs to the industry-standard 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Transducer System. This high-precision sensor utilizes eddy current technology to perform non-contact measurements of shaft vibration and axial displacement. Specifically designed for critical rotating machinery, it converts the physical distance between the probe tip and the target material into an accurate voltage signal. This module integrates seamlessly with 3300 XL Proximitor® Sensors and the 3500 Series Machinery Protection System to provide real-time mechanical health diagnostics.

Part Number Breakdown: 16699-AA-BB-CC

Bently Nevada utilizes a specific suffix logic to define the physical dimensions of the 3300 XL probe:

  • 16699-01 (Unthreaded Length): 10mm (0.4 in).

  • -02 (Overall Case Length): 20mm (0.8 in).

  • -02 (Total Cable Length): 0.2 meter (approx. 7.9 inches).

  • Thread Type: M10 x 1 Metric thread.

Engineering Advantages

  • Optimized for Compact Enclosures: The 0.2m short cable length (Option -02) specifically solves the problem of "cable clutter" inside small bearing housings or internal junction boxes. It allows for direct connection to extension cables without excess looping.

  • Interchangeability: As part of the 3300 XL family, this probe allows for total interchangeability between probes, extension cables, and Proximitor sensors of the same series, eliminating the need for individual system calibration.

  • Extreme Thermal Stability: The probe materials withstand temperatures up to +177 °C. This ensures consistent sensitivity and prevents signal "drift" even when mounted in close proximity to high-temperature turbine bearings.

  • Chemical and Oil Resistance: The PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide) probe tip and Tefzel® cable insulation resist degradation from synthetic lubricants and caustic process fluids commonly found in refineries and power plants.

FAQs

Q: Is this 16699-01-02-02 probe 100% Brand New?

A: Yes. We supply only 100% Brand New and Original Bently Nevada hardware in factory packing. Each unit includes a 12-month factory warranty to ensure long-term monitoring reliability.

Q: Does this probe require a specific Proximitor sensor?

A: Yes, you must use this probe with a 3300 XL 8mm Proximitor Sensor. Using it with non-XL or 5mm/11mm systems will result in incorrect scale factors and inaccurate vibration readings.

Q: What is the benefit of the M10 x 1 thread on this model?

A: The M10 x 1 thread is the standard metric mounting interface. It allows for precise gap adjustment using a jam nut, ensuring the probe sits within its linear range (typically 1.27 mm or 50 mils from the target surface).

Q: How do I handle the short 0.2m cable during installation?

A: Because the cable is only 0.2m long, the coaxial connector will reside inside the machine or very close to the exit port. We recommend using a Bently Nevada connector protector kit to prevent fluid ingress and mechanical damage to the coaxial junction.
