Bently Nevada 330103-03-09-10-02-00 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probe

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330103-03-09-10-02-00 is a precision sensing element for the 3300 XL 8mm Proximitor® Sensor System. This eddy current probe provides non-contacting measurement of shaft vibration and displacement (gap) in critical rotating machinery. Unlike fully threaded models, this configuration features a partial unthreaded section, making it suitable for specific mounting brackets or through-hole installations where a smooth lead-in is required. We supply this unit as 100% brand new and original, ensuring factory-sealed reliability for your machinery protection systems.

Part Number Breakdown

The configuration for model 330103-03-09-10-02-00 defines the following mechanical and electrical traits:

Technical Specifications

This 3300 XL 8mm probe maintains high accuracy across demanding 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: Seals against 700 psi (48 bar)

• Connector Style: Gold-plated ClickLoc™ coaxial connection

• Target Material: AISI 4140 Steel (Standard calibration)

Engineering Advantages

• Optimized Mounting Profile: The 0.3-inch unthreaded section allows for easier insertion into specific mounting hardware and helps prevent cross-threading in deep access ports while providing a 0.9-inch overall case for secure engagement.

• 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 years of 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 heavy mechanical vibrations.

• 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) provides an extra layer of environmental sealing over the coaxial connection, preventing moisture and contaminants from compromising the signal at the junction point.

FAQs

• What is the purpose of the unthreaded length (-03)?

  The unthreaded portion is typically used when the probe is mounted through a bracket or sleeve where threads are not required for the entire length of the probe case. It can also assist in guiding the probe into position before thread engagement begins.

• Is this Bently Nevada probe 100% brand new?

  Absolutely. We guarantee that every 330103-03-09-10-02-00 we ship is brand new and original in factory-sealed packaging. We do not supply used, pulled, or refurbished proximity hardware.

• Which extension cable is required for 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.

• Can this probe be used in hazardous environments?

  The -00 suffix indicates this model is for general-purpose use. For classified hazardous locations requiring ATEX, IECEx, or CSA certifications, please refer to the -05 or -CN approval versions.
