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

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330103-00-10-05-02-00 functions as the primary sensing element for the 3300 XL 8mm Proximitor® Sensor System. This eddy current proximity probe enables non-contacting measurement of static (gap) and dynamic (vibration) displacement in rotating machinery. It targets critical industrial assets, including compressors and turbines, to provide high-fidelity data for condition monitoring. We supply this unit as 100% brand new and original, ensuring your system maintains the precision required for high-speed shaft observation.

Part Number Breakdown

The configuration for model 330103-00-10-05-02-00 defines these specific mechanical and electrical traits:

Technical Specifications

This 3300 XL 8mm probe delivers consistent performance under demanding industrial conditions:

• Probe Tip Material: Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS)

• Thread Size: 3/8-24 UNF-2A

• Linear Range: 2.0 mm (80 mils)

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

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

• Probe Pressure Rating: 700 psi (48 bar)

• Connector Style: Gold-plated ClickLoc™ coaxial connection

• Minimum Target Diameter: 15.2 mm (0.6 in)

Engineering Advantages

• Optimized Signal Integrity: The gold-plated ClickLoc™ connector ensures a low-resistance connection and prevents the signal "noise" associated with connector oxidation. This facilitates the transmission of high-fidelity vibration data even in environments with high humidity.

• Corrosion-Resistant Probe Tip: The tip utilizes Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), a high-performance thermoplastic. This material resists chemical attack from most industrial lubricants and prevents moisture absorption, ensuring the probe maintains its calibration over years of service.

• Hermetic Pressure Seal: The 330103-00-10-05-02-00 features a hermetically sealed lead-to-case joint rated for 700 psi. This allows for direct installation through machine casings without risk of fluid leaks or pressure loss in the system.

• Environmental Connector Protection: The -02 option includes a standard protective boot. This boot provides an extra layer of environmental sealing over the coaxial connection, preventing moisture and contaminants from compromising the signal at the junction point.

• High Thermal Stability: The probe materials maintain a linear scale factor across an expansive temperature range. This prevents "temperature drift" in your vibration readings, which is essential for accurate gap measurement during machine startup and full-load operation.

FAQs

• Can I use this 0.5-meter probe with a standard 5-meter system?

  Yes. Because this is a 0.5-meter probe, you must pair it with a 4.5-meter extension cable to achieve the standard 5-meter system electrical length. Always match the total cable length to the specific calibration of your Proximitor® sensor.

• Is this Bently Nevada probe 100% brand new?

  Absolutely. We guarantee that every 330103-00-10-05-02-00 we ship is brand new and original in factory-sealed packaging. We do not provide refurbished or third-party compatible proximity hardware.

• What is the significance of the -00 approval option?

  The -00 suffix indicates the probe is designed for general-purpose industrial environments. It does not carry hazardous area certifications (like ATEX or IECEx). For classified hazardous locations, you must select the appropriate approval options such as -05 or -CN.

• Does this probe require a specific target material?

  The 3300 XL 8mm system is factory-calibrated to AISI 4140 steel. While it can measure other metals, the scale factor and linearity will change. For non-standard targets, the system requires recalibration to maintain accuracy.
