330104-00-08-10-02-CN 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probe | Bently Nevada

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330104-00-08-10-02-CN serves as a cornerstone for non-contacting displacement and vibration measurements in high-speed rotating machinery. As part of the globally recognized 3300 XL series, this 8 mm probe detects shaft movement with sub-micron precision. We offer this unit as 100% Brand New and Original, ensuring your monitoring system maintains its factory-calibrated accuracy and hazardous area compliance.

Part Number Breakdown

This specific configuration utilizes the Bently Nevada modular numbering system to match precise mechanical and regulatory requirements:

Technical Specifications

Engineered for industrial survival, this probe utilizes high-performance materials to withstand the rigors of turbine and compressor environments.

• Probe Diameter: 8 mm

• Connector Type: Gold-plated ClickLoc™ coaxial connector

• Operating Principle: Eddy Current (Non-contacting)

• Linear Range: 2.0 mm (80 mils) starting at approximately 0.25 mm (10 mils) from the tip

• Thread Pitch: M10 x 1 (Standard for metric 330104 series)

Engineering Advantages

The 330104-00-08-10-02-CN offers specific design features that eliminate common industrial installation and data integrity issues:

• Environmental Resistance: The PPS tip provides superior resistance to chemical corrosion and thermal degradation, while the stainless steel case prevents galling during installation in bearing housings.

• Vibration-Proof Connectivity: The ClickLoc™ connector employs a locking mechanism that prevents signal loss caused by high-frequency machine vibration—a common failure point in standard coaxial connections.

• EMI/RFI Suppression: The internal shielding and high-grade coaxial cable minimize electromagnetic interference, ensuring the Proximitor® receives a clean signal even in electrically noisy plant environments.

• Interchangeability: This XL-series probe eliminates the need for individual calibration. Engineers can replace the probe or cable without recalibrating the associated 3300 XL Proximitor® sensor, significantly reducing maintenance downtime.

FAQs

• What does the "CN" approval designate for this probe?

  The "CN" suffix indicates that the probe complies with specific regional hazardous area standards (such as China-specific certifications). Always consult the Field Notification Letter in the technical documentation for exact compliance details.

• Can I use this 1.0-meter probe with a 9.0-meter Proximitor system?

  Yes, provided you utilize the correct 8.0-meter extension cable. The 3300 XL system requires the combined length of the probe and extension cable to match the Proximitor’s calibrated length (either 5.0m or 9.0m).

• How do I ensure a proper gap setting during installation?

  Connect the probe to the Proximitor and monitor the DC voltage output. Adjust the probe position until the voltage matches the specified "Center Gap" value (typically -10 Vdc) before tightening the locknut.

• Is this probe compatible with non-XL 3300 Proximitor sensors?

  While the probe is physically compatible, the 3300 XL 8mm probe provides optimal linearity and temperature compensation when paired with the 3300 XL Proximitor sensor. Using it with older models may result in minor scale factor deviations.
