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

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330103-00-06-10-02-00 serves as a fundamental sensing component within the 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Transducer System. This eddy current probe provides non-contact, high-precision measurement of vibration and position for high-speed rotating machinery such as turbines, compressors, and pumps. We guarantee this unit as 100% Brand New and Original, ensuring your machinery protection system operates with peak OEM accuracy.

Part Number Breakdown

This specific configuration utilizes the following engineering parameters to meet precise mechanical mounting requirements:

Technical Specifications

This probe delivers consistent linear output when integrated with a 3300 XL Proximitor® Sensor.

• Probe Tip Diameter: 8 mm

• Housing Material: Stainless Steel (AISI 303/304)

• Total Length: 1.0 Meter (3.3 ft)

• Case Length: 60 mm

• Connector Type: Gold-plated ClickLoc™ Miniature Coaxial

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

• Condition: 100% Brand New Original

Engineering Advantages

• Optimized for Deep Reach: The 60mm case length allows the probe to penetrate deeper machine housings and bearing caps. This ensures the probe tip reaches the target shaft without requiring custom-machined sleeves or spacers.

• Eliminate Signal Loss: The ClickLoc™ connector employs a robust mechanical locking detent. This feature prevents the coaxial cable from backing out or loosening due to continuous machine vibration, a common failure point in standard threaded connectors.

• Superior Thermal Stability: Bently Nevada utilizes advanced materials in the 3300 XL series to minimize "thermal drift." The probe maintains measurement accuracy even as ambient temperatures fluctuate significantly inside the turbine housing.

• Interchangeability: As a standard 3300 XL component, this probe requires no individual calibration. You can swap this probe with any other 3300 XL 8mm probe of the same electrical length without re-adjusting the Proximitor® sensor.

FAQs

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

To maintain a 200 mV/mil scale factor, you must match the total system length. 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. Always check your Proximitor® label to verify the required system length.

What is the correct way to set the probe gap during installation?

We recommend using a digital multimeter to monitor the DC gap voltage while threading the probe into its bracket. For a standard 3300 XL system, setting the voltage to approximately -10.0 VDC places the probe at the midpoint of its linear range.

Can I use this probe in an oily or high-moisture environment?

Yes. The PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) tip and stainless steel case resist oil, moisture, and common industrial lubricants. However, ensure the connector junction remains dry or is protected by a terminal housing to prevent signal degradation.

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

Every unit we ship arrives in its original factory packaging with an intact Bently Nevada serial number and manufacture date. The pristine condition of the gold-plated ClickLoc™ connector and the lack of thread wear confirm its 100% Brand New status.
