Product Introduction
BENTLY 330703-000-060-10-02-00 is an 11 mm eddy current proximity probe designed for large rotating equipment. It mounts directly to the machine casing using a standard M14x1.5 metric thread.
This specific 6-meter integrated cable eliminates the need for separate extension cables. The BENTLY 330703-000-060-10-02-00 offers a linear range of 4 mm with a sensitivity of 3.94 mV/mm. Verify target material conductivity against OEM specs before mounting.
Key Technical Specifications
- Probe Tip Diameter: 11 mm (0.433 in)
- Cable Length: 6 meters
- Thread Size: M14 x 1.5 Metric
- Sensitivity: 3.94 mV/mm (100 mV/mil)
- Linear Range: 4.0 mm (157 mils)
- Frequency Response: 0 to 8 kHz
- Operating Temp: -52 °C to +177 °C
- Cable Insulation: FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene)
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 330703-000-060-10-02-00 has a fixed 6 m cable. Adding extension cables changes system calibration.
❗ Thread Confusion: M14x1.5 is metric. Do not force 1/2-20 UNF probes into metric housings. 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.
