330103-08-13-10-02-05 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probe | Bently Nevada

Product Overview

The 330103-08-13-10-02-05 serves as a high-precision vibration and position sensor within the Bently Nevada 3300 XL ecosystem. This 8mm proximity probe measures static (gap) and dynamic (vibration) distances between the probe tip and a rotating shaft. It provides critical data to monitoring systems to prevent catastrophic failure in turbines, pumps, and industrial compressors. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New original hardware, featuring the specialized FluidLoc cable option to prevent moisture migration in harsh environments.

Part Number Breakdown

The 3300 XL series uses a modular coding system to define mechanical specifications:

Technical Specifications

The 330103-08-13-10-02-05 utilizes advanced eddy current technology for non-contact measurement:

• Probe Tip Diameter: 8.0 mm

• Linear Range: 2.0 mm (80 mils)

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

• Connector Type: Gold-plated miniature coaxial ClickLoc

• Cable Impedance: 75 $\Omega$ coaxial

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

• Weight: 0.1 kg

Engineering Advantages

• FluidLoc™ Leakage Protection: This probe features the FluidLoc cable option, which prevents oil or other process fluids from leaking through the interior of the cable. This solves a major industrial pain point by protecting expensive Proximitor® sensors and junction boxes from fluid contamination.

• ClickLoc™ Mechanical Security: The miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector provides a secure, vibration-resistant interface. The gold-plated surfaces ensure high signal conductivity and eliminate the "measurement noise" often caused by loose or oxidized connections.

• Robust 80mm Unthreaded Section: The 80mm unthreaded length allows for easy adjustment within deep mounting ports. This configuration enables precise gapping without the thread binding issues commonly encountered in long-reach installations.

• Superior Thermal Stability: The 3300 XL design maintains a constant scale factor across extreme temperature ranges. This ensures that vibration readings remain accurate during machine thermal expansion and contraction cycles.

• Non-Contact Precision: By utilizing eddy current technology, the probe measures shaft movement without physical contact. This eliminates mechanical wear and allows for continuous monitoring of high-speed rotating equipment over decades of operation.

FAQs

Q: Why does this model include the FluidLoc option?

A: The FluidLoc feature seals the cable internally. If the probe tip or casing suffers damage, FluidLoc prevents oil from the machine's casing from "wicking" through the cable and flooding your electronics enclosure.

Q: What is the benefit of the 1.0-meter total length?

A: A 1.0-meter probe length allows for a flexible connection point outside the machine casing. You must connect this probe to a 4.0-meter or 8.0-meter extension cable to reach the required system length for your Proximitor sensor.

Q: Can I install this probe in a high-pressure environment?

A: Yes. Bently Nevada 3300 XL probes feature high-pressure seals at the tip-to-case transition. However, always verify that your specific mounting bushing or housing meets the pressure requirements of your process.

Q: Does this probe require calibration upon arrival?

A: No. We provide these probes as factory-calibrated units. However, you must perform a "loop check" after installation using a spindle micrometer to verify the system scale factor (200 mV/mil) within your specific monitoring rack.
