Bently Nevada 330101-00-18-10-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Bently Nevada 330101-00-18-10-02-00 is a 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe used for non-contact measurement of shaft vibration, position, and displacement in rotating machinery monitoring systems. As a sensing element within the 3300 XL transducer system, the probe generates an eddy current signal proportional to the distance between the probe tip and the target surface, enabling accurate machinery condition monitoring when paired with the appropriate extension cable and Proximitor sensor.

Probe Construction

The 3300 XL 8 mm probe is designed for installation in applications requiring reliable shaft motion measurement without physical contact. The probe detects changes in the electromagnetic field generated at the probe tip, allowing continuous measurement of conductive targets while avoiding mechanical wear.

Its compact configuration makes it suitable for installations where space is limited around bearing housings, shaft seals, and machine casings.

Length and Mechanical Configuration

This configuration is supplied with a 0.0 in unthreaded length and an overall case length of 1.8 in. The probe assembly is configured with a 1.0 m (3.3 ft) total length option.

Proper probe geometry is important when replacing an existing sensor because casing dimensions and cable length contribute to system calibration and installation fit.

Connector and Cable Configuration

The 02 connector option specifies a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with standard cable.

The ClickLoc connection mechanism helps maintain a secure electrical connection while simplifying probe installation and replacement activities. The standard cable configuration is intended for use with compatible 3300 XL system components.

System Integration

The probe is designed to operate as part of a complete 3300 XL proximity transducer system. Measurement performance depends on using the correct combination of probe, extension cable, and Proximitor sensor specified for the system calibration.

When replacing field hardware, the probe part number should match the original mechanical and electrical configuration to maintain system performance.
