330104-00-06-10-02-00 | Bently Nevada | 3300 XL 8 mm Metric Proximity Probe

Product Overview

The 330104-00-06-10-02-00 serves as a high-precision transducer within the Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm ecosystem. This metric-threaded probe utilizes eddy current technology to measure both static gap and dynamic vibration between the probe tip and the target shaft. It provides critical data for turbomachinery protection systems, monitoring axial thrust and radial vibration in gas turbines, steam turbines, and centrifugal compressors. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New original hardware, Made in the U.S.A., ensuring factory-certified linear accuracy for your machinery protection loops.

Part Number Breakdown

Bently Nevada utilizes a modular coding system to define the mechanical profile of the 330104 metric series:

Technical Specifications

The 330104-00-06-10-02-00 delivers laboratory-grade sensing in rugged plant environments:

• Probe Tip Diameter: 8 mm

• Thread Size: M10 x 1

• Linear Range: 2.0 mm (80 mils)

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

• Tip Material: Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS)

• Case Material: AISI 303 or 304 Stainless Steel (SST)

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

• Connector Type: Gold-plated ClickLoc™ miniature coaxial connector

Engineering Advantages

• ClickLoc™ Interconnect Security: The gold-plated ClickLoc™ connector system employs a self-locking mechanism. This prevents the cable from backing out due to high-frequency machine vibration, ensuring a low-resistance electrical path and eliminating signal "spikes" common with standard connectors.

• Chemical and Thermal Resilience: The Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip resists degradation from hot turbine oils and industrial lubricants. The probe maintains a stable scale factor throughout its thermal range, ensuring accurate vibration data during machine startup and full-load operation.

• Precision Metric Mounting: The M10 x 1 thread integrates directly into metric machinery housings without the need for conversion adapters. The 60 mm case length provides substantial adjustability for setting the probe gap in various bearing housing thicknesses.

• Non-Contact Sensing Technology: The probe measures shaft movement without physical contact. This removes mechanical wear and allows for the continuous monitoring of high-speed rotating equipment over decades of operation.

• Advanced Internal Sealing: A Viton® O-ring seals the differential pressure between the probe tip and the case. This design prevents process fluids or gases from leaking through the sensor body, maintaining the integrity of the machine housing.

FAQs

Q: Do I need a specific extension cable for the 1.0-meter probe?

A: Yes. You must pair this 1.0-metre probe with a 3300 XL Extension Cable. The total length of the probe and extension cable must match the calibrated length of your Proximitor® Sensor—typically 5.0 or 9.0 metres total.

Q: What is the benefit of the "00" unthreaded length option?

A: The "00" option means the probe body is fully threaded along its entire 60 mm case. This provides maximum flexibility during gapping, allowing the user to precisely position the probe regardless of the mounting bracket thickness.

Q: Is this probe compatible with older 3300 series (non-XL) systems?

A: While 3300 XL components are physically compatible with older 3300 hardware, we recommend against mixing. To achieve the specified 200 mV/mil accuracy and thermal stability, you should use a 3300 XL probe, extension cable, and Proximitor sensor together.
