Description

The Bently Nevada 330103-00-03-10-02-00 is a high-performance 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe designed for critical machinery monitoring applications. This probe is part of the Bently Nevada 3300 XL transducer system, which provides precise, non-contact measurement of shaft position and vibration in rotating machinery. The 3300 XL system is engineered to provide excellent linearity and stability across a wide temperature range, ensuring reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.

Features

• 8 mm probe tip diameter for standard proximity sensing applications.
• M10 x 1 thread configuration for secure mounting in probe holders.
• Equipped with a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector for reliable signal transmission.
• Standard cable construction designed for durability in industrial settings.
• 0 mm unthreaded length and 30 mm case length configuration.
• 1.0 meter (3.3 feet) total cable length.

Applications

This proximity probe is typically used in the following applications:

• Radial vibration and position measurement on steam turbines, gas turbines, and centrifugal compressors.
• Axial (thrust) position monitoring.
• Speed and phase reference (keyphasor) measurements.
• General-purpose rotating equipment monitoring where non-contact displacement sensing is required.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the probe is installed in a rigid, vibration-free probe holder to prevent measurement errors.
• Use caution when tightening the M10 x 1 threads to avoid damaging the probe casing.
• Route signal cables away from high-voltage power lines and sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI) to maintain signal integrity.
• Ensure the probe tip is properly gapped according to the specific machinery monitoring system requirements.
• Always power down the associated monitoring system before connecting or disconnecting the probe cable.

FAQ

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

The probe is designed to measure the distance between the probe tip and a conductive target (usually a shaft), providing a voltage output proportional to the gap, which is used to monitor vibration and position.

Is this probe compatible with older 3300 series systems?

The 3300 XL system is designed to be compatible with 3300 XL Proximitor sensors. Ensure your Proximitor sensor is calibrated for the 8 mm probe type to maintain system accuracy.
