Bently Nevada 330103-00-15-10-02-00 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probe

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330103-00-15-10-02-00 is a precision sensing element designed for the 3300 XL 8mm Proximitor® Sensor System. This eddy current proximity probe provides non-contacting measurement of shaft vibration and gap (displacement) in critical rotating machinery. With a 1.5-inch case length, it is ideal for deeper mounting requirements in turbines, compressors, and pumps. We supply this unit as 100% brand new and original, ensuring your monitoring system utilizes genuine, factory-calibrated hardware for maximum safety.

Technical Specifications

This 3300 XL 8mm probe delivers consistent accuracy across industrial variables:

• 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

• Extended Case Engagement: The 1.5-inch overall case length allows the probe to reach through thicker mounting brackets or machine housings, providing a stable and secure installation even when deeper thread engagement is necessary.

• Superior Chemical Resilience: The probe tip utilizes high-performance Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS). This material resists chemical attack from reactive industrial lubricants and moisture, preventing calibration shifts during long-term service.

• Positive-Locking ClickLoc™ Connector: The gold-plated connector prevents signal noise and intermittent data loss caused by oxidation. The ClickLoc™ mechanism ensures the cable remains securely joined despite the mechanical vibrations found in turbine housings.

• Hermetic Pressure Integrity: The design features a hermetically sealed lead-to-case joint rated for 700 psi. This allows for direct installation through machine casings without risking fluid leaks, even in high-pressure compressor applications.

• Environmental Connector Shielding: The standard protective boot (-02 option) shields the coaxial connection from environmental contaminants and moisture, preserving signal integrity from the probe to the extension cable junction.

FAQs

• What extension cable is compatible with this 1.0-meter probe?

  To achieve a standard 5.0-meter system length, pair this 1.0-meter probe with a 4.0-meter extension cable. For a 9.0-meter system, use an 8.0-meter extension cable. Ensure the Proximitor sensor matches the total system electrical length.

• Is this Bently Nevada probe 100% brand new?

  Absolutely. We guarantee that every 330103-00-15-10-02-00 we ship is brand new and original in factory-sealed packaging. We do not supply used, surplus-pulled, or refurbished 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, select models with -05 or -CN approvals.

• 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.
