330103-00-10-05-01-00 | Bently Nevada | 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probe

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330103-00-10-05-01-00 serves as the primary sensing element for the 3300 XL 8mm Proximitor® Sensor System. This eddy current proximity probe measures non-contacting shaft vibration and displacement (gap) in critical rotating machinery such as turbines, compressors, and pumps. It converts mechanical motion into an electrical signal for machinery protection and condition monitoring. We supply this unit as 100% brand new and original, ensuring your monitoring system utilizes genuine, factory-calibrated hardware for maximum asset safety.

Part Number Breakdown

The configuration for model 330103-00-10-05-01-00 defines the specific mechanical and electrical properties of the probe:

Technical Specifications

This 3300 XL 8mm probe delivers consistent accuracy across high-speed industrial applications:

• 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

• Superior Thermal Stability: The probe materials maintain a linear scale factor across an expansive temperature range. This prevents "temperature drift" in vibration readings, which is essential for accurate gap measurement during machine thermal expansion cycles.

• Corrosion-Resistant PPS Tip: The probe tip utilizes Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), a high-performance thermoplastic. This material resists chemical attack from reactive industrial lubricants and moisture, preventing calibration shifts over long-term service.

• Hermetic Sealing: The design 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, even in submerged oil environments.

• Gold-Plated ClickLoc™ Connector: The 330103-00-10-05-01-00 utilizes a gold-plated ClickLoc™ connector to ensure a low-resistance, vibration-proof connection. This prevents the signal noise and intermittent data loss often associated with connector oxidation.

• Streamlined Case Profile: The 1.0-inch overall case length provides a standard, versatile profile for installation in a wide variety of mounting brackets and bearing housings, ensuring a secure and stable fit.

FAQs

• Can I use this 0.5-meter probe with a standard 5-meter system?

  Yes. Because this is a 0.5-meter probe, you must pair it with a 4.5-meter extension cable to achieve the standard 5-meter system electrical length. Always match the total cable length to the specific calibration of your Proximitor® sensor.

• Is this Bently Nevada probe 100% brand new?

  Absolutely. We guarantee that every 330103-00-10-05-01-00 we ship is brand new and original in factory-sealed packaging. We do not provide refurbished or third-party compatible proximity sensors.

• What is the significance of the -00 approval option?

  The -00 suffix indicates the probe is designed for general-purpose industrial environments. It does not carry hazardous area certifications (like ATEX or IECEx). For classified hazardous locations, you must select the appropriate approval options such as -05 or -CN.

• Does this model include a protective connector boot?

  The -01 connector option specifies a miniature coaxial ClickLoc™ connector without the standard protective boot. If your application requires extra environmental sealing at the connector junction, consider models with the -02 connector option.
