330104-00-22-10-02-00 Bently Nevada | 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330104-00-22-10-02-00 serves as a high-precision, non-contacting eddy current sensor within the industry-standard 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System. This specialized probe tracks dynamic shaft radial vibration, axial displacement (thrust position), and fluid-film bearing clearances in critical rotating assets. It transmits continuous voltage data directly to machinery protection monitors to safeguard 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 330104-00-22-10-02-00 breaks down into the following engineered options:

Technical Specifications

This metric-threaded proximity probe interfaces seamlessly with standard 3300 XL extension cables and Proximitor® sensors to deliver full API 670 performance.

• 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: 220 mm

• Total Integrated Cable Length: 1.0 meter (3.3 feet)

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

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

Engineering Advantages

• Extended Deep-Housing Reach: The 220 mm overall case length satisfies specific deep-immersion industrial applications, easily passing through thick insulation blankets, secondary support jackets, or deep bearing blockages to reach the target shaft.

• Maximum Structural Rigidity: Full external casing threads (0 mm unthreaded choice) lock the extra-long 220 mm body securely into tapped mounting holes or brackets. This structural support prevents probe whip or high-frequency flexing caused by heavy cross-axis windage or high-velocity oil mist inside internal bearing zones.

• 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.

FAQs

• What specific extension cable should I pair with this 1.0-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 1.0-meter cable length, you must connect it to either a 4.0-meter or an 8.0-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.

• Can I use this probe in applications requiring hazardous area certifications (like ATEX or IECEx)?

  No, this specific part number ends in the option code "-00", which signifies that it does not carry hazardous area agency approvals. If your plant environment requires intrinsic safety or explosion-proof ratings, you must select a configuration ending in the "-05" option code (Multiple Approvals).
