The 146054-14-10-02-00 is a 3300 series Ceramic Capped Proximity Probe, offering a state-of-the-art solution for monitoring rotating machinery in aggressive chemical or high-pressure environments. Featuring an alumina ceramic cap and a 304 stainless steel probe case, it provides robust protection and an increased service life for applications involving anhydrous ammonia or other extreme pH environments.
Fully compatible with standard 3300 Proximitor Sensors and extension cables
This probe (Part Number 146054) is specifically developed for applications that expose only the front of the probe case assembly to corrosive gases and liquids. The front-end ceramic-to-metal interface is helium leak-tested to ensure a reliable hermetic seal, preventing corrosive media from entering the front.
System administrators can easily add or replace stations via the standard 25-pin Sub-D front interface without compromising the operational uptime of adjacent channels. Each of the 12 ports features localized over-current and short-circuit protection, meaning a single field station wiring failure will be instantly isolated, preventing total system blackout and ensuring continuous alarm readiness for the remaining facility zones.

Nitrogen & Fertilizer Manufacturing
Monitors axial displacement of core compressors in ammonia and urea production to prevent machinery damage from high-pressure corrosive ammonia fluid.
Petroleum Refining Industry
Continuously measures the radial vibration of process pumps handling highly concentrated sour gases within hydrocracking and desulfurization processes.
Coal Chemical & Gasification
Rotor vibration monitoring for syngas compressors under high-temperature and high-pressure chemical environments in coal-to-methanol/liquids plants.
Pharmaceutical & Biochemical Industry
High-speed main shaft vibration and displacement monitoring in harsh process environments involving chemical CIP washdowns and corrosive solvents.
Modern Pulp & Paper Industry
Withstands corrosion from high-pH black liquor or bleaching agents during pulp cooking and chemical recovery to provide machinery protection signals.
Thermal & Nuclear Power Generation
Monitors pump shaft vibration in boiler feedwater conditioning zones where high concentrations of ammonia are added to adjust pH levels.
This probe must be used exclusively with a matching 3300 XL NSv Proximitor Sensor and extension cable (not interchangeable with standard 8 mm systems). Set installation gap to the calibrated target voltage (typically -10 Vdc at midpoint) and apply specified torque limits. Keep the ceramic tip and cable connectors clean, dry, and free of oil or metallic contaminants. Maintain minimum bend radius to prevent cable damage.
146054-14-10-02-00 Proximity Probe is fully compatible with 3300 or 3300 XL Proximitor Sensors and extension cables. Utilizing high-precision eddy current principles, it provides long-term, reliable monitoring of shaft vibration, static displacement, and rotational speed for rotating machinery—such as compressors and pumps—in heavy industries like oil and gas, chemical, and power generation.
It is a 3300 / 3300 XL series ceramic capped proximity probe manufactured by Bently Nevada.
What are the case thread specifications for the 146054-14-10-02-00 probe?
The standard case thread for this base model (146054) is 3/8-24 UNF English thread, and this specific configuration comes without stainless steel armor.
What special precautions must be taken for the rear of the 146054-14-10-02-00 probe during installation?
As this model's rear is unsealed, it requires protection during installation to prevent contamination from water, ammonia, or hydrogen sulfide.
Which Bently Nevada monitoring systems are compatible with the 146054-14-10-02-00?
It is compatible with 3300/3300 XL series Proximitor sensors and extension cables, enabling data input into the 3500 Machinery Protection System.
What length does -10 represent in the model 146054-14-10-02-00?
It represents that the total cable length of the probe is 1.0 meter (3.3 feet).
