Bently Nevada 330103-08-13-10-02-CN 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Product Overview

The 330103-08-13-10-02-CN belongs to the industry-leading Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System. This eddy current probe measures static (gap) and dynamic (vibration) displacement between the probe tip and the rotating shaft of critical machinery. It provides essential data for vibration monitoring in steam turbines, gas turbines, and centrifugal compressors. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New original hardware, Made in the U.S.A., specifically configured with CN agency approvals for regional compliance.

Part Number Breakdown

The 3300 XL series utilizes a precise nomenclature to define mechanical and regulatory configurations:

Technical Specifications

The 330103-08-13-10-02-CN features robust materials designed for high-performance sensing:

• Probe Tip Material: Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS)

• Probe Case Material: AISI 303 or 304 Stainless Steel (SST)

• Sealing: Viton® O-ring internal seal

• Operating Range: 2.0 mm (80 mils)

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

• Connector Type: Gold-plated ClickLoc™ miniature coaxial connector

• Weight: 0.323 Kg

Engineering Advantages

• Superior Pressure Sealing: The integration of a Viton® O-ring seals the differential pressure between the probe tip and the case. This prevents process fluids or gases from leaking through the sensor body, maintaining the integrity of the machine housing.

• ClickLoc™ Mechanical Security: The gold-plated ClickLoc™ connector utilizes a specialized locking mechanism that prevents the cable from loosening under high-vibration conditions. This ensures consistent electrical conductivity and eliminates signal "spikes" or intermittent data loss.

• High-Performance Tip Material: The use of Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) for the probe tip provides excellent chemical resistance and thermal stability. It withstands the harsh lubricants and elevated temperatures common inside industrial bearing housings.

• Extended Unthreaded Reach: The 80 mm unthreaded section simplifies installation in deep or recessed mounting ports. This design allows for easier mechanical gapping without the risk of thread binding within the mounting bracket.

• Regional Regulatory Compliance: The "CN" approval suffix ensures the hardware meets specific regional safety and hazardous area standards. This facilitates seamless project commissioning in regulated markets and provides documented proof of compliance.

FAQs

Q: Does the 330103-08-13-10-02-CN require a specific extension cable?

A: Yes. You must pair this 1.0-metre probe with a 3300 XL extension cable. The total length of the probe and extension cable must match the calibrated length of your Proximitor® Sensor (typically 5 or 9 metres total).

Q: Can I obtain a Certificate of Origin (COO) for this probe?

A: Yes. As this is 100% Brand New original hardware Made in the U.S.A., we can provide an official Certificate of Origin upon request to satisfy your import or project documentation requirements.

Q: Is the pressure seal tested at the factory?

A: Standard 3300 XL 8 mm probes are designed for pressure sealing but are not pressure tested prior to shipment. If your specific application requires certified pressure testing, contact our technical department for a custom design quote.

Q: What is the benefit of the stainless steel case?

A: The AISI 303/304 stainless steel case provides high corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. It protects the internal eddy current coil from the acidic environments and mechanical stresses found in heavy industrial machinery.
