330104-00-13-05-02-00 | Bently Nevada | 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330104-00-13-05-02-00 operates as a core component of the industry-standard 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System. This eddy current sensor measures static (gap) and dynamic (vibration) distances between the probe tip and the target shaft. It provides critical data to monitoring systems for asset condition monitoring, cross-axis vibration analysis, and thrust position measurements in heavy turbomachinery like turbines, compressors, and pumps. We supply this product in 100% brand new, original factory-sealed condition to guarantee maximum field lifespan and precise calibration.

Part Number Breakdown

Bently Nevada utilizes a structured configuration matrix for the 3300 XL series. The specific part number 330104-00-13-05-02-00 translates to the following engineered parameters:

Technical Specifications

The probe conforms to strict internal manufacturing limits to interface seamlessly with 3300 XL extension cables and Proximitor* sensors.

• Probe Tip Material: Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS)

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

• Total Length: 0.5 meter (1.6 feet)

• Thread Type: Metric M10 x 1 smooth or threaded options depending on installation sleeves

• Connector Type: Patented ClickLoc™ gold-plated coaxial connector

• Country of Origin: Made in U.S.A.

Engineering Advantages

• Chemical and Thermal Resistance: The polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip material shrugs off moisture, corrosive oil vapors, and harsh synthetic lubricants found inside industrial gearboxes and bearing housings.

• Mechanically Secure Connections: The ClickLoc™ connector system prevents accidental disconnection from machine vibration. It requires no special tools for termination and maintains a constant, low-resistance electrical contact.

• Corrosion-Proof Housing: The high-grade AISI 303/304 stainless steel casing eliminates the risk of rust and thread binding in high-humidity or coastal installations.

• Streamlined Low-Clearance Fit: The 0 mm unthreaded length provides maximum structural support within deep tapped brackets or thin-walled machine casings, optimizing spatial deployment.

FAQs

• Can I mix this 3300 XL probe with older 3300 series 8 mm cables and Proximitor sensors?

  Yes. The 3300 XL 8 mm probe maintains backward compatibility with legacy 3300 series components. However, mixing components slightly alters the total system linear range and scale factor. For optimal API 670 performance, pair this probe with a matching 3300 XL extension cable and Proximitor sensor.

• What installation torque should I apply to the probe case during mounting?

  Do not over-torque the probe body. Tighten the M10 stainless steel case to a maximum of 4.5 N·m (40 in·lb). Exceeding this limit risks shearing the casing or damaging the internal coil assembly.

• How does the ClickLoc connector protect against signal noise?

  The gold-plated contacts inside the ClickLoc connector prevent oxidation. The integrated mechanical lock seals out oil and dirt, eliminating high-impedance connection faults that trigger false vibration alarms.
