330877-080-36-00 Bently Nevada 3300 XL 50 mm Extension Cable

The Differential Expansion measurement is made by using two proximity transducers that observe a collar or ramp some distance from the thrust bearing. Typical transducer mounting arrangements that require the 3300 XL 50 mm Transducer’s long linear range include:

• Two transducers observing the same side of a collar.

• Two complementary input transducers observing

opposite sides of a collar, effectively doubling the measurable DE range.The criteria for selecting a mounting method are the size of the available target, the expected amount of rotor axial movement, and the type of DE target that exists in the machine. If the collar height is sufficient and the required total measurement range is less than 27.9 mm 1.1 inches, the preferred configuration for redundant measurements is to use two transducers observing the same side of a collar. When 28 mm to 56 mm (1.1 to 2.2 inches) of total range are required, install the transducers in a complementary fashion on opposite sides of the differential expansion collar or other target material.
