Bently Nevada 330104-00-02-10-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Metric Proximity Probe

Product Overview

The 330104-00-02-10-02-00 functions as a high-precision displacement transducer within the Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm ecosystem. This metric-threaded probe measures both static gap and dynamic vibration between the probe tip and the target shaft. It provides critical data for turbomachinery protection systems, monitoring axial thrust and radial vibration in gas turbines, steam turbines, and centrifugal compressors. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New original hardware, Made in the U.S.A., featuring stainless steel armor for superior mechanical protection in rigorous industrial environments.

Part Number Breakdown

The 330104 series utilizes a modular code to define its mechanical and metric threading specifications:

Technical Specifications

The 330104-00-02-10-02-00 delivers high-resolution measurement for critical rotating assets:

Engineering Advantages

• Enhanced Mechanical Armor: The integrated stainless steel armor shields the sensitive coaxial cable from physical damage, such as crushing, abrasion, or accidental cutting during installation and operation. This significantly extends the service life of the probe in harsh plant environments.

• ClickLoc™ Interconnect Security: The gold-plated ClickLoc™ connector system prevents the cable from backing out due to machine vibration. This locking mechanism ensures a gas-tight, low-resistance connection, eliminating signal noise and ensuring data integrity for safety-critical monitoring.

• Metric Precision Mounting: The M10 x 1 thread allows for direct integration into metric-standard machinery housings without the need for adapters. The 20mm case length provides a compact profile for installation in tight bearing housings where space is restricted.

• Exceptional Scale Factor Stability: The 3300 XL design maintains a consistent scale factor across wide temperature fluctuations. This stability ensures that the vibration monitoring system provides accurate data during both machine startup and full-load operation.

• U.S.A. Manufacturing Standards: This probe meets the highest manufacturing standards of Bently Nevada. Upon request, we can provide an official Certificate of Origin (COO) to satisfy international project documentation and import requirements.

FAQs

Q: Do I need a specific extension cable for the 330104-00-02-10-02-00?

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 5.0 or 9.0 metres total.

Q: Can I use this metric probe in a system originally designed for imperial (3/8-24) probes?

A: While the electronic signal remains compatible (200 mV/mil), the physical mounting threads differ. You must ensure the machine housing or mounting bracket accepts the M10 x 1 metric thread before attempting installation.

Q: What is the benefit of the "00" unthreaded length option?

A: The "00" option means the probe is fully threaded along its 20mm case. This provides maximum adjustability, allowing you to set the gap precisely by rotating the probe within its mounting bracket regardless of the casing thickness.

Q: Does the armor affect the electrical performance of the cable?

A: No. The stainless steel armor acts as a mechanical sleeve over the 75-ohm coaxial cable. It does not interfere with the eddy current signal or the impedance matching between the probe and the Proximitor sensor.
