Bently Nevada 330103-00-12-10-01-00 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probe

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330103-00-12-10-01-00 serves as the primary sensing element for the 3300 XL 8mm Proximitor® Sensor System. This eddy current proximity probe measures non-contacting shaft vibration and displacement (gap) in critical rotating machinery such as turbines, compressors, and high-speed pumps. It converts mechanical motion into a precise electrical signal for machinery protection and condition monitoring. We supply this unit as 100% brand new and original, ensuring your monitoring system utilizes genuine, factory-calibrated hardware for maximum asset reliability.

Part Number Breakdown

The configuration for model 330103-00-12-10-01-00 defines the specific mechanical and electrical properties of the probe:

Technical Specifications

This 3300 XL 8mm probe delivers consistent accuracy across high-speed industrial applications:

• 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

• Superior Thermal Stability: The probe materials maintain a linear scale factor across an expansive temperature range. This prevents "temperature drift" in vibration readings, which is essential for accurate gap measurement during machine thermal expansion cycles.

• Corrosion-Resistant PPS Tip: The probe tip utilizes Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), a high-performance thermoplastic. This material resists chemical attack from reactive industrial lubricants and moisture, preventing calibration shifts over long-term service.

• Hermetic Sealing: The design 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, even in submerged oil environments.

• Gold-Plated ClickLoc™ Connector: The 330103-00-12-10-01-00 utilizes a gold-plated ClickLoc™ connector to ensure a low-resistance, vibration-proof connection. This prevents the signal noise and intermittent data loss often associated with connector oxidation.

• Extended Case Mounting: The 1.2-inch overall case length provides a stable mounting profile for medium-to-deep brackets. This ensures a secure fit in various bearing housing designs while maintaining the necessary thread engagement for a vibration-proof installation.

FAQs

• What extension cable should I pair with this 1.0-meter probe?

  To achieve a standard 5-meter system length, pair this 1.0-meter probe with a 4.0-meter extension cable. For a 9-meter system, use an 8.0-meter extension cable. Ensure the Proximitor sensor matches the total system length.

• Is this Bently Nevada probe 100% brand new?

  Absolutely. We guarantee that every 330103-00-12-10-01-00 we ship is brand new and original in factory-sealed packaging. We do not provide refurbished or third-party compatible hardware.

• What is the significance of the -01 connector option?

  The -01 connector option specifies a miniature coaxial ClickLoc™ connector without a protective boot. If your application requires extra environmental sealing at the connector junction, consider models with the -02 connector option (which includes a boot).

• Can this probe be used in hazardous areas?

  The -00 approval suffix indicates this model is for general-purpose industrial use. For applications in classified hazardous locations, you should select models with -05 (Multiple Approvals) or -CN (China Specific) certifications.
