Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe | 330103-00-06-10-02-00

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330103-00-06-10-02-00 serves as the primary sensing component for the 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System. This eddy current probe provides high-precision, non-contact measurement of vibration and shaft position in critical rotating machinery, such as turbines and compressors. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New and Original, ensuring full compatibility with OEM machinery protection systems.

Part Number Breakdown

This model follows a specific configuration logic to meet industrial mounting requirements:

Technical Specifications

The probe functions as part of a tuned circuit to provide a linear voltage output proportional to the gap distance.

• Tip Diameter: 8 mm

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

• Tip Material: Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS)

• Operating Temperature: -35 °C to +177 °C (-31 °F to +350 °F)

• Linear Range: 2.0 mm (80 mils) typical

• Output Signal: 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil) when paired with 3300 XL Proximitor

• Connector Type: Gold-plated ClickLoc™ miniature coaxial

• Condition: 100% Brand New Original

Engineering Advantages

• Extended Reach for Deep Housings: The 60 mm case length allows the probe to pass through thicker bearing housings or mounting brackets, ensuring the tip reaches the optimal sensing zone without requiring custom-machined sleeves.

• Vibration-Resistant Connectivity: The ClickLoc™ connector employs a robust mechanical locking mechanism. It prevents the cable from self-loosening under high-frequency vibration, which eliminates intermittent "NOT OK" signal status errors common in standard threaded connectors.

• Thermal Stability: Advanced engineering minimizes "thermal drift" across the operating temperature range. This ensures measurement accuracy remains consistent during both cold startups and full-load high-temperature operations.

• Chemical and Oil Resistance: The PPS tip and FEP-insulated cable resist degradation from moisture, synthetic oils, and industrial lubricants, extending the sensor's service life in aggressive turbine environments.

FAQs

Is this 1.0m probe compatible with a 5-meter or 9-meter system?

To maintain calibration accuracy, you must match the total electrical length (probe + extension cable). This 1.0m probe integrates into a 5-meter system when paired with a 4.0m extension cable, or a 9-meter system when paired with an 8.0m extension cable.

How do I confirm the probe is 100% Brand New?

Every unit ships in its original Bently Nevada factory packaging with an intact serial number. The pristine condition of the gold-plated ClickLoc™ connector and the absence of thread marks confirm its 100% Brand New status.

What is the recommended installation torque for this probe?

Technicians should apply a maximum of 11.2 N·m (100 in·lb) of torque during installation. We recommend using a digital voltmeter (DVM) to monitor the DC gap voltage while gapping the probe to prevent the tip from striking the shaft.

Does this probe require individual calibration before use?

No. As a standard 3300 XL component, this probe is fully interchangeable. You can replace an existing 1.0m 8 mm probe with this unit without recalibrating the Proximitor® sensor, provided the target material is AISI 4140 steel.
