330180-50-00 Bently Nevada Parts Non Contact Vibration Monitoring Bently Nevada Proximitor

The Bently Nevada 330180-50-00 is a high-accuracy vibration sensor designed for continuous monitoring and protection of critical rotating machinery in industrial automation systems. Part of Bently Nevada's renowned machinery health monitoring portfolio, this sensor employs advanced eddy current technology to measure radial vibration and axial displacement of shafts in turbines, compressors, pumps, and motors.

Built with a rugged stainless steel housing and IP67-rated enclosure, it operates reliably in harsh environments exposed to extreme temperatures (-50°C to +120°C), moisture, dust, and electromagnetic interference. The 330180-50-00 delivers precise, real-time data to prevent unplanned downtime by detecting early signs of misalignment, imbalance, or bearing wear. It is widely used in oil and gas, power generation, and heavy manufacturing industries.

• Frequency Response: 0.5 Hz to 10 kHz (±3 dB)
• Sensitivity: 20 mV/mm/s (calibrated output)
• Operating Temperature: -50°C to +120°C
• Supply Voltage: 18-30V DC (loop-powered)
• Output Signal: 4-20 mA (two-wire) or dynamic AC signal
• Housing Material: 316 stainless steel
• Certifications: ATEX/IECEx (Zone 0/20), API 670 compliant
• Connection Type: M12x1 threaded conduit with integral cable

The 330180-50-00 is critical for safeguarding high-value assets such as gas turbines in power plants, centrifugal compressors in LNG facilities, and boiler feed pumps in refineries. In offshore oil platforms, it monitors subsea pump vibrations to prevent failure caused by saltwater corrosion or hydrodynamic forces.

Wind turbine operators use it to detect gearbox imbalances, while hydroelectric plants rely on its data to optimize bearing health in water turbines. Its ATEX/IECEx Zone 0/20 certification makes it suitable for explosive atmospheres, such as petrochemical processing units and coal-fired power stations.

• Dual Output Flexibility: Supports both 4-20 mA for PLC integration and raw AC signals for detailed spectral analysis
• Extreme Environment Resilience: Stainless steel housing and wide temperature range ensure longevity in challenging conditions
• Hazardous Area Compliance: ATEX/IECEx certifications for use in explosive gas (Zone 0) and dust (Zone 20) environments
• API 670 Compliance: Meets global standards for machinery protection systems in critical industries
• Plug-and-Play Installation: Integral cable and M12 connector reduce setup time and wiring errors

The 330180-50-00 provides real-time vibration data to control systems, enabling predictive maintenance strategies that reduce unplanned downtime by up to 40%. Its high-frequency response captures transient events like rotor stalls or blade passing frequencies, while the 4-20 mA output integrates seamlessly with SCADA and DCS platforms.

The loop-powered design simplifies installation in remote locations without external power sources. By identifying early-stage faults, it extends equipment lifespan and lowers maintenance costs. Compliance with API 670 ensures adherence to industry best practices, making it a trusted solution for asset-intensive industries prioritizing operational safety and efficiency.
