Expert Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: Why choose an 8mm probe over other sizes from Bently Nevada? The 8mm version offers the best physical protection for the sensing coil. Its thicker body resists bending and impact in tough plant conditions, giving you a more reliable long-term asset.
• Q: What does the '-02' suffix in the part number specify? This suffix indicates the connector type. '-02' specifically means the probe has a Miniature Coaxial ClickLoc connector paired with the standard performance coaxial cable.
• Q: How does humidity affect this vibration probe's performance? The probe demonstrates strong humidity resistance. Testing shows less than a 3% change in its output sensitivity even after 56 days in 93% relative humidity environments.
• Q: Can I order this probe with a different cable length? Yes, Bently Nevada offers the 330101-00-36-05-02-00 in various standard lengths. The '-05' denotes 0.5m; other common options include '-10' for 1.0 meter and '-20' for 2.0 meters.
• Q: Is the probe's pressure seal tested before it ships? No, standard probes do not undergo pressure seal testing prior to shipment. For applications requiring a validated seal, you must contact Bently Nevada's custom design team for special testing services.
