330103-00-10-10-02-05 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probe | Bently Nevada

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330103-00-10-10-02-05 serves as the critical primary sensor for the 3300 XL 8mm Proximitor® System. This eddy current probe provides high-precision, non-contacting measurement of shaft vibration and displacement (gap) in critical rotating machinery. Designed for deployment in hazardous environments, this specific configuration includes multiple international agency approvals. We supply this unit as 100% brand new and original, ensuring your machinery protection system meets stringent safety and performance specifications.

Part Number Breakdown

The 330103-00-10-10-02-05 configuration defines the following mechanical and regulatory specifications:

Technical Specifications

This 3300 XL 8mm probe maintains exceptional linearity and stability:

• 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

• Target Material: AISI 4140 Steel (Standard calibration)

Engineering Advantages

• Certified for Hazardous Locations: The -05 approval option provides comprehensive certification (ATEX, IECEx, CSA) for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. This simplifies global procurement and ensures compliance with international safety standards for oil, gas, and chemical processing.

• Superior Chemical Resistance: 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 years of service in harsh machine interiors.

• Positive-Locking ClickLoc™ Connector: The gold-plated connector prevents signal noise and intermittent data loss caused by oxidation. The ClickLoc™ mechanism ensures the cable remains securely joined despite the high-frequency vibrations common in turbine and compressor housings.

• Hermetic Pressure Sealing: The design features a hermetically sealed lead-to-case joint rated for 700 psi. This allows for direct installation through machine casings without risking fluid leaks or pressure loss, even in submerged oil applications.

• Maximized Signal Integrity: The standard protective boot (-02 option) shields the coaxial connection from environmental contaminants and moisture, preserving the low-voltage signal from the probe tip to the extension cable junction.

FAQs

• What is the benefit of the -05 Agency Approval?

  The -05 option consolidates several major global certifications into a single part number. This allows the same probe model to be used in North American (CSA), European (ATEX), and international (IECEx) hazardous areas, reducing inventory complexity for multinational facilities.

• Is this Bently Nevada probe 100% brand new?

  Absolutely. We guarantee that every 330103-00-10-10-02-05 we ship is brand new and original in factory-sealed packaging. We do not supply used, surplus-pulled, or third-party compatible proximity hardware.

• How do I complete the measurement system with this 1.0-meter probe?

  To achieve a standard 5-meter system electrical length, pair this 1.0-meter probe with a 4.0-meter extension cable. For a 9-meter system, use an 8.0-meter extension cable. Ensure the Proximitor sensor is also calibrated for the correct total system length.

• Can this probe be used in high-pressure environments?

  Yes. The probe is rated to withstand 700 psi (48 bar) at the probe tip and through the case seal. This makes it suitable for direct installation in high-pressure compressor or gearbox casings.
