330101-00-32-10-02-05 | Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probe

Product Overview

The 330101-00-32-10-02-05 represents the industry benchmark for non-contacting displacement and vibration measurements. As a core component of the Bently Nevada 3300 XL transducer system, this 100% Brand New original 8mm probe monitors radial vibration and axial thrust on fluid-film bearing machines. It precisely detects the distance between the probe tip and the target shaft surface, enabling the Proximitor sensor to provide high-fidelity data for early fault detection. This specific configuration features a 3.2-inch threaded case and a 1.0-meter integral cable, combined with global hazardous area certifications for deployment in the most demanding refinery and power plant environments.

Part Number Breakdown

The 330101 series utilizes a modular alphanumeric code to define mechanical dimensions and regional certifications:

• 330101: 3300 XL 8mm Probe (3/8-24 UNF thread, without armor)

• -00: Unthreaded Length (0.0 inches)

• -32: Overall Case Length (3.2 inches / 81.3 mm)

• -10: Total Length (1.0 meter / 3.3 feet)

• -02: Connector Option (Miniature coaxial ClickLoc™ connector, standard cable)

• -05: Agency Approval (Multiple Approvals: CSA, ATEX, IECEx)

Technical Specifications

The 330101-00-32-10-02-05 maintains strict linearity and interchangeability across its entire operating range.

Engineering Advantages

• Global Explosion-Proof Compliance: The "-05" multi-approval option provides CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications. This allows for immediate deployment in Zone 0, 1, or 2 hazardous locations, simplifying procurement for international projects and ensuring adherence to global safety mandates.

• Extended Deep-Access Housing: The 3.2-inch fully threaded case facilitates installation through thick bearing housings or internal machine pedestals. This length allows technicians to reach internal shaft targets while retaining sub-mil adjustment precision for mechanical gap settings.

• Vibration-Proof ClickLoc™ Technology: The miniature coaxial ClickLoc™ connector incorporates a positive-locking mechanism. This prevents unintentional cable disconnection or signal attenuation caused by high-frequency machinery vibrations, a common failure point in standard friction-fit proximity systems.

• Superior Signal Integrity: The 3300 XL series rejects electromagnetic interference (EMI) through high-performance cable shielding. This ensures that the vibration waveforms remain deterministic and clean, even when the probe operates near high-voltage generators or large induction motors.

FAQs

• Is this 330101-00-32-10-02-05 probe a brand-new original unit?

  Yes. We supply this probe exclusively as 100% Brand New original factory stock. Each unit arrives in Bently Nevada’s original protective packaging with all factory inspection markings to guarantee authenticity and field reliability.

• Which extension cable should I pair with this 1.0-meter probe?

  To achieve a standard 5.0-meter system length, you must use a 4.0-meter 3300 XL extension cable. For a 9.0-meter system, pair it with an 8.0-meter extension cable. Always ensure the total electrical length (Probe + Extension) matches the calibration of your Proximitor sensor.

• How do I set the correct mechanical gap during installation?

  Adjust the 3/8-24 UNF threading while monitoring the DC Gap voltage at the Proximitor output. For most 3300 XL applications, a voltage reading of approximately -10.0 VDC indicates the center of the linear range.

• Can this probe handle high-temperature oil splash?

  The 3300 XL 8mm probe utilizes high-grade stainless steel and polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip materials. It functions reliably even when submerged or splashed by hot lubricating oils within turbine bearing pedestals up to its rated operating temperature.
