Bently Nevada 330103-00-05-10-02-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330103-00-05-10-02-05 represents the gold standard in eddy current sensing for the 3300 XL 8 mm Transducer System. This probe measures shaft vibration, position, and speed in critical rotating machinery without physical contact. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New and Original, featuring comprehensive international hazardous area certifications to ensure safety and performance in the most demanding industrial environments.

Part Number Breakdown

The 330103 series utilizes a modular configuration to match specific engineering requirements:

Technical Specifications

This probe provides a linear voltage output proportional to the gap between the probe tip and the target surface.

• Tip Diameter: 8 mm

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

• Linear Range: 2.0 mm (80 mils) typical

• Target Material: AISI 4140 steel (Standard calibration)

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

• Tip Material: Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS)

• Condition: 100% Brand New, Factory Sealed

Engineering Advantages

• Hazardous Area Certification: The 05 Agency Approval provides peace of mind for global operations. This probe meets CSA, ATEX, and IECEx requirements, allowing for safe deployment in Zone 0, Zone 1, and Division 1 environments.

• Extended Reach Capability: The 5.0-inch case length facilitates installation through deep machine casings or thick mounting plates. This ensures the probe tip reaches the optimal sensing distance from the shaft without requiring custom extension sleeves.

• ClickLoc™ Connection Stability: The ClickLoc™ connector employs a mechanical locking detent. This feature eliminates the risk of signal loss caused by connectors backing out under high-frequency vibration, a critical advantage in turbine monitoring.

• Interchangeability: As a standard 3300 XL component, this probe requires no individual calibration. Technicians can replace it with any other 3300 XL 8 mm probe of the same electrical length without recalibrating the Proximitor® sensor.

FAQs

Is this probe compatible with both 5-meter and 9-meter systems?

Yes. For a 5-meter system, pair this 1.0m probe with a 4.0m extension cable. For a 9-meter system, pair it with an 8.0m extension cable. Always ensure the total system length matches the calibration on your Proximitor® label.

Does this 100% Brand New probe include original factory documentation?

Yes. Every new unit ships in its original Bently Nevada packaging and includes the necessary factory certificates of conformance and hazardous area approval documentation.

What is the correct way to set the probe gap?

We recommend using a Digital Multimeter (DVM) to monitor the DC gap voltage. For a standard 3300 XL system, set the probe at approximately -10.0 VDC (the midpoint of the linear range) to ensure maximum accuracy during shaft movement.

How does the PPS tip material handle industrial fluids?

The Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip resists moisture, oil, and most industrial lubricants. This prevents fluid ingress from causing "NOT OK" status errors or signal degradation over long-term operation.
