Introduction
The part number 330850-91-05 refers to a High-Temperature Proximity Probe Assembly with Integrated Cable. This component is a specialized version of an eddy current displacement sensor, engineered for extreme operating environments in machinery protection systems.
This proximity probe is a non-contact sensor that operates on the eddy current principle. It generates a high-frequency electromagnetic field from its tip, and changes in the distance to a conductive target (like a turbine shaft) are converted into a proportional voltage signal by a separate driver (proximitor). The key differentiator for this part number is its specific calibration and construction, denoted by the "-91" and "-05" suffixes, which typically indicate a high-temperature rating and a 5-meter integrated cable length, making it suitable for monitoring critical parameters on hot rotors.

Application Scenarios
This high-temperature proximity probe is essential for monitoring critical turbomachinery where sensors are exposed to extreme heat from the process or the machine itself.
Gas & Steam Turbine Monitoring:
Radial Vibration: Installed on bearing housings close to the hot section of the turbine to monitor shaft vibration directly, providing essential data for protecting against unbalance, misalignment, and rotor instabilities.
Axial Position: Used to monitor the position of the turbine rotor to prevent catastrophic thrust bearing failure, a critical safety parameter.
Hot Section Monitoring in Compressors:
Centrifugal Compressors: In high-pressure and high-temperature compressor applications, especially in oil & gas and petrochemical industries, these probes monitor shaft vibration and position where ambient temperatures are exceptionally high.
High-Temperature Machinery Protection:
Large Pumps and Fans: Used in applications where the bearing housing or process environment generates significant heat, exceeding the capabilities of standard proximity probes.
Keyphasor® Reference in Hot Environments:
Provides a reliable once-per-turn timing pulse from a keyway or notch on a hot shaft. This signal is crucial for measuring phase and speed, which are fundamental for rotor balancing and diagnosing machine faults during operation.
