330103-00-09-10-02-00 | Bently Nevada | 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probe

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330103-00-09-10-02-00 serves as a core sensing element within the 3300 XL 8mm Proximitor® Sensor System. This eddy current proximity probe provides non-contacting measurement of static (gap) and dynamic (vibration) displacement for rotating machinery shafts. It handles the demanding environments of steam turbines, compressors, and high-speed pumps with high-fidelity signal output. We supply this unit as 100% brand new and original, ensuring your machinery protection system operates with genuine, factory-calibrated precision.

Part Number Breakdown

The configuration for model 330103-00-09-10-02-00 defines these mechanical and electrical specifications:

Technical Specifications

This 3300 XL 8mm probe delivers consistent performance under high-pressure 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

• Mounting: External or Internal bracket installation

Engineering Advantages

• Optimized Signal Stability: 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 or industrial fumes.

• Corrosion-Resistant PPS Tip: The probe 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 330103-00-09-10-02-00 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 Profile: The 0.9-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

• Does this probe require an extension cable?

  Yes. To complete the 3300 XL system, you must pair this 1.0-meter probe with a 3300 XL extension cable (typically 4.0m or 8.0m) to reach the required system length of 5.0m or 9.0m, respectively.

• Is this Bently Nevada probe 100% brand new?

  Absolutely. We guarantee that every 330103-00-09-10-02-00 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 in a hazardous area?

  The -00 approval suffix indicates this model is for general-purpose industrial use. For applications in classified hazardous locations (Explosive atmospheres), you should select the -05 (Multiple Approvals) or -CN (China Specific) models.

• What is the purpose of the protective boot (-02 option)?

  The protective boot provides an additional layer of environmental sealing over the coaxial connection. It prevents moisture and contaminants from entering the connector interface, which is vital for long-term signal stability in outdoor or washdown areas.
