Bently Nevada 330104-00-04-10-02-05 3300 XL 8 mm Metric Proximity Probe

Product Overview

The 330104-00-04-10-02-05 acts 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 global agency approvals for deployment in hazardous industrial environments.

Part Number Breakdown

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

Technical Specifications

The 330104-00-04-10-02-05 delivers high-resolution measurement for critical rotating assets:

• Probe Tip Diameter: 8 mm

• Thread Size: M10 x 1

• Linear Range: 2.0 mm (80 mils)

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

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

• Tip Material: Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS)

• Operating Temperature: -51 °C to +177 °C (-60 °F to +351 °F)

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

Engineering Advantages

• Global Hazardous Area Compliance: The "-05" approval option provides multi-certification (CSA, ATEX, and IECEx). This ensures the probe meets stringent safety requirements for explosive environments worldwide, simplifying international project procurement and compliance.

• 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 40mm case length provides a versatile profile for installation in bearing housings where specific depth adjustability is required.

• 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.

• Chemical and Fluid Resilience: The Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip resists degradation from nearly all common industrial lubricants, hydraulic fluids, and chemical vapors found in turbomachinery environments.

FAQs

Q: Do I need a specific extension cable for this probe?

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

A: The "00" option means the probe is fully threaded along its 40mm case. This provides maximum flexibility during gapping, allowing you to position the probe precisely within its mounting bracket regardless of the casing thickness.

Q: Can I replace an older 7200 series probe with this model?

A: While the 3300 XL system offers superior performance, you must ensure your monitoring rack and Proximitor sensor are compatible with the 3300 XL scale factor (200 mV/mil). We recommend upgrading the entire transducer loop for optimal results.

Q: Does this unit include the mounting nuts?

A: Yes. As a 100% Brand New original product, the probe includes the standard stainless steel mounting nuts required to secure the probe into the machine casing or mounting bracket.
