Bently Nevada 330130-040-03-CN Extension Cable | 3300 XL 4m Armored

🔌 Bently Nevada 330130-040-03-CN 3300 XL Standard Extension Cable

The Bently Nevada 330130-040-03-CN is a premium 4-meter (13.1 ft) armored extension cable engineered for the 3300 XL proximity measurement system, featuring advanced TipLoc tip-to-body bonding, CableLoc secure attachment (330 N pull strength), and connector protector for harsh industrial environments. This FEP-insulated cable enables reliable vibration and position monitoring in turbomachinery applications where cable routing between proximity probes and proximitor sensors requires mechanical protection and enhanced durability.

🔧 Cable Specifications

🏭 Turbomachinery Monitoring Applications

Gas & Steam Turbine Installations: Routes signals from 3300 XL proximity probes mounted on bearing pedestals to proximitor sensors in junction boxes or control rooms (4-8 meters away) in power plants, cogeneration facilities, and mechanical drive applications where armored construction protects against cable damage from vibration, thermal cycling, and accidental impact.

Compressor Vibration Systems: Connects proximity probes to monitoring equipment in centrifugal compressors, reciprocating compressors, and screw compressors used in oil & gas, petrochemical, and air separation plants where cable routing through congested pipe racks and equipment skids requires mechanical armor preventing cable crushing and abrasion.

Pump & Motor Monitoring: Extends probe signals in large pumps (>100 HP), motors, and generators where bearing housing-to-control panel distances exceed standard probe cable lengths (5 meters), enabling flexible installation layouts without signal degradation or electromagnetic interference in electrically noisy industrial environments.

Marine & Offshore Applications: Provides ruggedized cable solution for shipboard turbines, offshore platform compressors, and FPSO machinery where salt spray, humidity, and mechanical stress demand armored protection and connector guards preventing moisture ingress and cable pullout during installation and maintenance.

⚙️ Advanced Cable Technology

TipLoc Bonding System: Proprietary tip-to-body bonding technology eliminates probe tip separation failures that cause 40% of proximity sensor malfunctions, extending probe service life from 3-5 years to 10+ years and preventing unplanned shutdowns costing $100K-1M per event in critical turbomachinery.

CableLoc Attachment: 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength prevents cable detachment during installation, vibration, and thermal expansion/contraction, reducing field service calls by 60% versus conventional crimp connections that loosen over time in high-vibration applications (>5g acceleration).

Armored Construction: Flexible stainless steel armor protects cable from mechanical damage, rodent attack, and chemical exposure in harsh industrial environments, reducing cable replacement frequency from every 2-3 years to 10+ years and eliminating 80% of cable-related measurement failures.

Connector Protector: Integrated connector guard shields BNC connections from impact, moisture, and contamination during installation and operation, maintaining signal integrity and preventing intermittent faults that cause false alarms and nuisance trips in machinery protection systems.
