330104-00-17-05-02-00 | Bently Nevada | 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330104-00-17-05-02-00 operates as a core eddy current sensor within the industry-standard 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System. This high-precision probe measures both static parameters (shaft gap and axial position) and dynamic parameters (radial shaft vibration) on critical rotating assets. It transmits continuous voltage data directly to machinery protection monitors to shield high-speed steam turbines, centrifugal compressors, and large process pumps from catastrophic failure. We supply this premium industrial component in 100% brand new, original factory-sealed condition to guarantee original calibration accuracy and maximum operational life.

Part Number Breakdown

Bently Nevada utilizes a structured alphanumeric matrix to define the precise mechanical and electrical traits of the 3300 XL probe family. The specific model number 330104-00-17-05-02-00 breaks down into the following engineered options:

Technical Specifications

This probe configuration integrates seamlessly with standard 3300 XL extension cables and Proximitor® sensors to maintain strict API 670 compliance.

• Thread Specification: M10 x 1 metric thread

• Probe Tip Material: Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS)

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

• Overall Case Length: 170 mm

• Total Cable Length: 0.5 meter (1.6 feet)

• Interconnect Hardware: Gold-plated miniature coaxial ClickLoc™ connector

• Country of Origin: United States of America (U.S.A.)

Engineering Advantages

• Extended Reach and Rigidity: The 170 mm overall case length allows the probe to pass through exceptionally thick outer machine shells or deep internal bearing blocks. The 0 mm unthreaded selection ensures threads run the entire length of the case, maximizing structural rigidity and preventing probe flex under high-velocity internal winds.

• Aggressive Fluid Defense: The polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip material resists chemical breakdown, high-pressure steam ingress, and degradation from aggressive synthetic oils or hydrocarbon lubricants inside the bearing housing.

• Positive-Lock Connection: The patented ClickLoc™ coaxial connector eliminates signal attenuation and intermittent resistance changes. It locks tightly without specialized termination tools and easily resists severe, high-frequency machine frame vibration.

• Corrosion Resistance: High-grade AISI 303/304 stainless steel forms the probe casing, preventing rust formation and thread binding in high-humidity or coastal marine environments.

FAQs

• What specific extension cable should I pair with this 0.5-meter proximity probe?

  A standard 3300 XL Proximitor sensor requires either a 5.0-meter or a 9.0-meter total calibrated system length. Because this probe features an integrated 0.5-meter cable length, you must connect it to either a 4.5-meter or an 8.5-meter 3300 XL extension cable to achieve the correct electrical tuned circuit and ensure precise system calibration.

• What is the critical torque limit for installing this M10 x 1 stainless steel probe case?

  Always tighten the probe body using a calibrated torque wrench up to a maximum limit of 4.5 N·m (40 in·lb). Over-tightening the casing stretches the stainless steel shell and fractures the delicate internal coil wire connections, which instantly destroys the sensor.
