BENTLY 330710-000-60-10-02-00
Product Introduction
BENTLY 330710-000-60-10-02-00 is an 11 mm armored eddy current proximity probe. It mounts directly to the machine casing using a standard M16x1.5 metric thread.
This specific 6-meter armored configuration is ideal for harsh environments with oil or steam exposure. The BENTLY 330710-000-60-10-02-00 offers a linear range of 4 mm with a sensitivity of 3.94 mV/mm. Verify target material conductivity against OEM specs before mounting.

Quality Control Process (Engineer’s Perspective)
- Incoming Verification: Trace source via serial number. Inspect probe tip for scratches or pitting.
- Live Functional Test: Connect to TK-3E calibrator. Verify linearity across full 4 mm gap.
- Electrical Parameter Test: Measure coil resistance and insulation (500 V Megger, >10 MΩ).
- Cable Integrity Test: Check continuity and shield grounding at connector.
- Final QC & Packaging: Seal in anti-static bag. Apply QC Passed label with date.

Replacement Pitfall Guide
❗ Cable Length Mismatch: The BENTLY 330710-000-60-10-02-00 has a fixed 6 m cable. Adding extension cables changes system calibration.
❗ Thread Confusion: M16x1.5 is metric. Do not force M14x1.5 or UNF probes into this housing. Cross-threading destroys the casing.
❗ Target Material: Eddy current response varies with conductivity. Verify target material matches original OEM spec. Aluminum and steel behave differently.
❗ Gap Voltage: Set initial gap to -10 Vdc to -11 Vdc for steel targets. Well, technically you can use other points, but -10.5 Vdc is the industry standard center point for 11 mm systems.
❗ ESD & Handling: Never touch the probe tip with bare fingers. Skin oils attract debris and alter gap readings.
Keep these in mind and you’ll cut 90% of rework time.
Compatibility Matrix & Benchmarks
- 330710-000-60-10-02-00 → 330710-000-50-10-02-00 : Needs Adaptation — 5m cable requires recalibration
- 330710-000-60-10-02-00 → 330709-000-60-10-02-00 : Incompatible — Non-armored cable
- 330710-000-60-10-02-00 → 330710-000-60-10-02-05 : Direct — verify suffix requirements
Benchmarks:
