The Bently Nevada 330103-00-16-10-02-05 is a 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe designed for high-precision vibration and position monitoring in industrial rotating machinery. This probe system is engineered to provide accurate, non-contact measurements of shaft displacement, position, and speed in demanding environments.

Features

• Standard 8 mm probe tip diameter for consistent performance in 3300 XL systems.
• M10 x 1 thread configuration for secure mounting in probe holders.
• Equipped with a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector for reliable signal transmission.
• Designed with a 1.0-meter (3.3 feet) cable length.
• Includes agency approvals for CSA, ATEX, and IECEx, ensuring suitability for hazardous area installations.
• Robust construction without armor for standard industrial applications.

Applications

This proximity probe is widely used in condition monitoring systems for turbines, compressors, pumps, and motors. It is essential for measuring radial vibration, axial position (thrust), and speed/phase reference signals in critical rotating equipment.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the probe is installed in a suitable probe holder to maintain the required gap distance from the target surface.
• Use caution when tightening the M10 x 1 threads to avoid damage to the probe housing.
• Route the coaxial cable away from high-voltage power lines or sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI) to prevent signal noise.
• Ensure all connections are secure and that the ClickLoc connector is properly seated.
• Verify that the installation complies with local hazardous area regulations as specified by the ATEX/IECEx/CSA certifications.

FAQ

What is the primary function of the 3300 XL 8 mm probe?

The probe is used to measure the distance between the probe tip and a conductive target, typically a rotating shaft, providing essential data for vibration and position analysis in machinery protection systems.

Is this probe compatible with existing 3300 XL systems?

Yes, the 330103 series is designed to be fully compatible with Bently Nevada 3300 XL proximity transducer systems, provided the extension cable and Proximitor sensor are also matched for the system specifications.
