The Bently Nevada 330103-00-04-05-02-05 is a high-performance 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe designed for non-contact vibration and position measurement. This probe is a critical component of the 3300 XL transducer system, providing reliable data for monitoring shaft displacement, vibration, and speed in industrial rotating machinery.

Features

• Compliant with API 670 standards for mechanical configuration, linear range, and accuracy.
• Patented TipLoc and CableLoc designs ensure a robust bond and high pull strength (330 N / 75 lbf).
• Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with gold-plated, corrosion-resistant contacts.
• Improved RFI/EMI immunity for reliable operation in harsh electromagnetic environments.
• Fully interchangeable and backward compatible with 3300 series 5 mm and 8 mm system components.

Applications

• Power Generation: Monitoring steam and gas turbine shafts and large generator sets.
• Oil & Gas: Tracking high-load centrifugal compressors, multi-stage pumps, and expanders.
• Hydroelectric: Monitoring turbine setups with wide clearance requirements.
• Heavy Manufacturing: Asset protection for steel rolling mills, paper mill rollers, and mining machinery.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the M10 x 1 threaded body is screwed cleanly into the mounting bracket or housing.
• Maintain a minimum clear radius of 30 mm (1.2 in) around the probe tip to prevent interference.
• Observe the metal-free zone requirements to avoid distortion of the eddy-current RF field.
• Space adjacent probe tips at least 40 mm (1.6 in) apart to prevent signal crosstalk.
• Handle with care to avoid damage to the probe tip; ensure the system is powered down before connecting or disconnecting cables.

FAQ

What is the primary function of this probe?
It provides continuous, non-contact measurement of static parameters like shaft position and dynamic parameters like shaft vibration using the eddy current principle.

Does this probe require an extension cable?
Yes, because the probe cable length is 0.5 meters, it must be used with a compatible 3300 XL extension cable to reach the Proximitor sensor.

What is the sensitivity of the 3300 XL 8 mm system?
The system provides a standard scale factor sensitivity of 200 mV/mil (7.87 V/mm).
