330103-00-08-10-02-00 | Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probe

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330103-00-08-10-02-00 functions as a primary sensing element for the 3300 XL 8mm Proximitor® Sensor System. This eddy current proximity probe enables non-contacting measurement of static (gap) and dynamic (vibration) displacement in rotating machinery. It specifically targets critical assets like turbines, compressors, and motors, providing the raw data necessary for vibration analysis and machinery protection. We supply this unit as 100% brand new and original, ensuring your monitoring system maintains the precision required for high-speed shaft observation.

Part Number Breakdown

The configuration for model 330103-00-08-10-02-00 defines these specific mechanical and electrical traits:

Technical Specifications

This 3300 XL 8mm probe delivers consistent performance under demanding industrial conditions:

• Probe Tip Material: Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS)

• Thread Size: 3/8-24 UNF-2A

• Linear Range: 2.0 mm (80 mils)

• Scale Factor: 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil)

• Operating Temperature: -51 °C to +177 °C (-60 °F to +351 °F)

• Probe Pressure Rating: 700 psi (48 bar)

• Connector Style: Gold-plated ClickLoc™ coaxial connection

• Minimum Target Diameter: 15.2 mm (0.6 in)

Engineering Advantages

• Optimized Signal Integrity: The gold-plated ClickLoc™ connector ensures a low-resistance connection and prevents the signal "noise" associated with connector oxidation. This facilitates the transmission of high-fidelity vibration data even in environments with high humidity.

• Corrosion-Resistant Probe Tip: The tip utilizes Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), a high-performance thermoplastic. This material resists chemical attack from most industrial lubricants and prevents moisture absorption, ensuring the probe maintains its calibration over years of service.

• Hermetic Pressure Seal: The 330103-00-08-10-02-00 features a hermetically sealed lead-to-case joint rated for 700 psi. This allows for direct installation through machine casings without risk of fluid leaks or pressure loss in the system.

• Compact Case Design: The 0.8-inch case length provides a streamlined profile for installation in shallow mounting brackets or narrow access ports, making it a versatile choice for a wide variety of bearing housing designs.

• High Thermal Stability: The probe materials maintain a linear scale factor across an expansive temperature range. This prevents "temperature drift" in your vibration readings, which is essential for accurate gap measurement during machine startup and full-load operation.

FAQs

• What is the difference between this and the -05 approval version?

  The -00 suffix at the end of the part number indicates a standard module without specific hazardous area agency approvals (like ATEX or IECEx). While the internal sensor technology is identical to the approved versions, this model is intended for use in non-classified, general-purpose industrial areas.

• Is this Bently Nevada probe 100% brand new?

  Absolutely. We guarantee that every 330103-00-08-10-02-00 we ship is brand new and original in factory-sealed packaging. We do not provide refurbished or third-party compatible proximity hardware.

• Can I use this probe with a standard 5-meter extension cable?

  Yes. Because this is a 1.0-meter probe, you must pair it with a 4.0-meter extension cable to reach the standard 5-meter system length, or an 8.0-meter cable for a 9-meter system. Always match the total cable length to the calibration of your Proximitor® sensor.

• How should I protect the connector during installation?

  Always slide the provided protective boot over the ClickLoc™ connector once the connection is tight. For added security in harsh environments, we recommend applying a layer of self-vulcanizing tape or a connector protector kit to prevent fluid ingress.
