The Bently Nevada 330103-00-05-05-02-00 is a 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe designed for high-precision vibration and position monitoring in industrial rotating machinery. This probe is part of the 3300 XL transducer system, which provides a linear output voltage proportional to the distance between the probe tip and the observed conductive target.

Features

• 8 mm probe tip diameter for standard proximity measurement applications.
• M10 x 1 thread configuration for secure mounting in machinery housings.
• Equipped with a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector for reliable signal transmission.
• Standard cable construction designed for durability in industrial environments.
• Designed for integration with 3300 XL Proximitor sensors to ensure system-wide accuracy and interchangeability.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the probe tip is not in contact with the target material during installation to prevent mechanical damage.
• Use appropriate mounting brackets and locknuts to secure the probe at the required gap distance as specified by the machinery monitoring configuration.
• Handle the coaxial cable with care; avoid sharp bends or kinks that could compromise the signal integrity or damage the internal shielding.
• Ensure all connections at the Proximitor sensor are clean and tightened to the specified torque to prevent signal noise or intermittent readings.
• Verify that the probe is installed in a location free from excessive debris or conductive dust that could interfere with the electromagnetic field.

FAQ

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

The probe acts as the sensing element in a proximity transducer system, measuring the gap between the probe tip and a conductive target to monitor vibration, axial position, or speed in rotating equipment.

Is this probe compatible with older 3300 series systems?

The 3300 XL system is designed to be backwards compatible with many 3300 series components, but it is recommended to verify the specific Proximitor sensor and extension cable compatibility to ensure the system remains within calibration specifications.
