330104-000-040-10-02-05 Proximity Transducer System (PTS)
Description:
The part number 330104-000-040-10-02-05 refers to a specific configuration of a 5 mm Proximity Transducer System (PTS) from Baker Hughes (Bently Nevada). This is a complete, pre-calibrated kit designed for a single channel of measurement on rotating machinery, specifically used in applications where space is highly constrained and a smaller probe diameter is required.
It is an integrated package that contains all matched components for immediate installation:
This system functions identically to the standard 8 mm systems but uses a smaller 5mm diameter probe. It measures the distance between the probe tip and a conductive target to monitor radial vibration, axial position, or speed (Keyphasor).
Parameters & Specifications
The following table details the key parameters for this specific configuration based on the standard Bently Nevada part numbering scheme.
Important Note: The interpretation of suffixes, especially the mounting thread for a 5mm probe, should be confirmed with the official Baker Hughes Bently Nevada PTS Selection Guide. The 40mm length is a common and versatile size for 5mm probes.
Application Scenarios
This 5 mm Proximity Transducer System is designed for applications where a standard 8 mm probe is too large to fit. Its compact 5mm diameter and 40mm length make it suitable for tight spaces and small-to-medium sized machinery.
Vibration Monitoring on Small Bore Machinery: The primary application is on machines with small shaft diameters and limited space for probe installation, such as:
Small Turbines and Turboexpanders
High-Speed Spindles and Pinion Shafts
Small Pumps and Compressors
Keyphasor® Reference on Space-Constrained Equipment: Used as a once-per-revolution timing probe in applications where the mounting location is very tight and only a small-diameter probe can be physically installed.
Axial Position Monitoring on Compact Thrust Assemblies: Used to measure thrust position on smaller machines where the thrust collar and associated structure do not allow for an 8 mm probe.
Integrally Geared Compressors: Frequently used on the high-speed pinion shafts of integrally geared compressors, where space between gear meshes and bearings is extremely limited.
Research and Development Test Rigs: Often used in laboratory settings and benchtop test rigs where machinery scale is small, and precise measurements are needed with minimal intrusion.
Typical Machinery:
High-Speed Pinion Shafts in Gearboxes
Turbochargers
Small Integrally Geared Compressors
High-Speed Motors and Spindles
Small Steam Turbines
