Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8mm 330101-00-14-10-02-00 Eddy Current Proximity Probe

Product Description

The 330101-00-14-10-02-00 (Part No. 330101-00-14-10-02-00) is a high-precision 8mm proximity sensor belonging to the industry-standard Bently Nevada 3300 XL series. Engineered for non-contacting vibration and displacement measurements, this probe is designed to operate within eddy current transducer systems to monitor critical rotating machinery. This specific configuration features a fully threaded 140mm case and a 1.0-meter integrated cable, optimized for installations where the sensor is mounted directly through a machine housing or bracket.

The 330101-00-14-10-02-00 employs the ClickLoc miniature coaxial connector system, providing a robust, vibration-resistant connection to extension cables while maintaining consistent electrical impedance.

Typical Applications

This probe is primarily used for measuring radial vibration, axial thrust position, and tachometer/speed sensing on steam turbines, centrifugal compressors, and large electric motors. The 140mm case length is ideal for reaching deep internal targets through thick-walled bearing housings.

Engineering FAQ

• Can this probe be used with a 5-meter or 9-meter system?

• The 330101-00-14-10-02-00 has a 1.0m total length. It must be paired with the appropriate extension cable (e.g., a 4.0m cable for a 5-meter system or an 8.0m cable for a 9-meter system) to ensure the Proximitor sensor sees the correct total electrical length.

• What is the benefit of the ClickLoc connector?

• The ClickLoc design (Option 02) prevents the connector from loosening due to machinery vibration and eliminates the need for special tools or lock-wiring during installation.
