Bently Nevada 3300/20-12-01-01-00-00 Dual Thrust Position Monitor

The Bently Nevada 3300/20-12-01-01-00-00 is a high-precision dual-channel thrust position monitor within the 3300 Series TSI (Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation) platform by Baker Hughes (formerly GE Bently Nevada). Designed for non-contact, continuous online monitoring of shaft axial (thrust) position on critical rotating machinery, it measures rotor axial displacement relative to thrust bearings to provide early warning of thrust bearing wear, abnormal axial loads, or potential rotor-stator contact. This model features two independent proximity probe inputs, high-accuracy signal conditioning, configurable alarm logic, and comprehensive self-diagnostics. Hot-swap capable in a 19-inch standard rack, it integrates seamlessly with other 3300 series modules and System 1 software. Fully compliant with API 670, it ensures reliable protection for turbines, compressors, and other high-value assets.

Function & Positioning

This module serves as a core axial displacement monitoring device for rotating machinery, safeguarding against thrust bearing failure and severe mechanical damage. It acquires non-contact displacement signals from two eddy-current proximity probes, conditions and linearizes the data, and provides configurable alarm logic for early fault detection. It supports local panel setup and remote configuration via host systems, with adjustable alarm delays to suppress false triggering. Dual-channel design enables redundant probe placement, enhancing measurement reliability. Integrated self-diagnostics continuously monitor power, circuitry, probe gaps, and relay status, enabling fast fault localization. As a key 3300 TSI component, it connects to System 1 and plant-wide DCS/PLC/SCADA for data trending, storage, analysis, and predictive maintenance. Note that this model has no relay outputs.
