Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm Metric Proximity Probe | 330104-00-04-10-02-00

Product Overview

The 330104-00-04-10-02-00 serves as a high-precision transducer within the Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System. This metric-threaded probe measures both static (gap) and dynamic (vibration) displacement of a rotating shaft relative to the probe tip. It provides essential data for the protection and management of critical turbomachinery, including gas turbines, centrifugal compressors, and high-speed pumps. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New original hardware, Made in the U.S.A., ensuring factory-certified linear accuracy for your vibration monitoring loops.

Part Number Breakdown

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

Technical Specifications

The 330104-00-04-10-02-00 delivers laboratory-grade sensing in harsh industrial environments:

• Probe Tip Diameter: 8 mm

• Thread Size: M10 x 1

• Probe Tip Material: Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS)

• Linear Range: 2.0 mm (80 mils)

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

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

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

Engineering Advantages

• ClickLoc™ Interconnect Security: The gold-plated ClickLoc™ connector utilizes a specialized locking mechanism that prevents the cable from loosening under high-vibration conditions. This ensures consistent electrical conductivity and eliminates signal "spikes" or intermittent data loss common with standard connectors.

• Metric Standard Integration: The M10 x 1 threading allows for direct installation into metric-standard machinery housings without the need for adapters. The 40 mm case length provides a compact profile, ideal for installation in tight bearing housings where space is restricted.

• Chemical and Thermal Resilience: The Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip resists degradation from hot turbine oils and synthetic lubricants. The probe maintains a stable scale factor across its entire operating temperature range, ensuring accurate data during machine thermal expansion cycles.

• Non-Contact Sensing Technology: By utilizing high-frequency eddy current fields, the probe detects shaft movement without physical contact. This removes the risk of mechanical wear and allows for continuous monitoring of machinery rotating at ultra-high speeds over decades of operation.

• Full Adjustability: The "00" unthreaded length option ensures the probe is threaded along its entire 40 mm case. This provides maximum flexibility during gapping, allowing the user to precisely position the probe regardless of the mounting bracket thickness.

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: Can I obtain a Certificate of Origin (COO) for this product?

A: Yes. Since we supply 100% Brand New original hardware Made in the U.S.A., we can provide an official Certificate of Origin upon request to satisfy your import or project documentation requirements.

Q: What is the benefit of the 3300 XL series over older proximity probes?

A: The 3300 XL series offers superior scale factor stability and improved immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI). It provides a more robust physical connection via the ClickLoc™ system compared to the older 3300 and 7200 series probes.

Q: Is the probe tip resistant to high pressure?

A: Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm probes are designed to seal differential pressure between the probe tip and case. However, the manufacturer does not pressure test standard probes prior to shipment. If your application requires a certified pressure seal, please contact us for custom design options.
