Product Overview

The 330104-00-05-10-02-00 serves as a cornerstone for non-contact displacement measurement in the Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm ecosystem. This metric-threaded probe utilizes eddy current technology to monitor vibration, radial position, and axial thrust in high-speed rotating equipment. Designed for seamless integration into M10 x 1 ports, it features integrated stainless steel armor to withstand the most punishing industrial environments. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New original hardware, ensuring factory-certified linear accuracy for your machinery protection system.

Part Number Breakdown

The 330104 metric series uses a modular nomenclature to define precise mechanical specifications:

Technical Specifications

The 330104-00-05-10-02-00 delivers laboratory-grade sensing in rugged plant environments:

• Sensing Technology: Non-contacting Eddy Current

• Probe Tip Diameter: 8.0 mm

• Thread Size: M10 x 1

• Linear Range: 2.0 mm (80 mils)

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

• Armor Material: Flexible Stainless Steel (SST)

• Connector Type: Gold-plated ClickLoc™ Miniature Coaxial

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

Engineering Advantages

• Integrated Mechanical Armor: The stainless steel armor shields the internal coaxial cable from abrasion, crushing, and accidental cutting. This ensures signal integrity in high-traffic maintenance areas where standard cables often suffer terminal damage.

• ClickLoc™ Interconnect Security: The gold-plated ClickLoc™ connector employs a self-locking mechanism. It prevents the cable from backing out due to high-frequency machine vibration, maintaining a gas-tight, low-resistance electrical path essential for accurate data.

• High-Density Metric Mounting: The M10 x 1 thread allows for direct installation into metric-standard machinery without conversion adapters. The 50 mm case length provides ample adjustability for setting the probe gap in various bearing housing thicknesses.

• Exceptional Thermal Stability: The 3300 XL design maintains a constant scale factor across extreme temperature fluctuations. This stability ensures that the vibration data remains accurate during the machine's thermal expansion phases during startup and full-load operation.

• Universal Logix Compatibility: By outputting a standardized 200 mV/mil signal (when paired with a 3300 XL Proximitor), this probe integrates directly into 3500 series racks or other PLC-based monitoring systems without complex scaling requirements.

FAQs

Q: Do I need a specific extension cable for the 1.0-meter 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 body is fully threaded along its entire 50 mm 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 this probe withstand exposure to hot turbine oil?

A: Absolutely. The Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip and stainless steel case resist degradation from nearly all common industrial lubricants, hydraulic fluids, and chemical vapors found in turbomachinery environments.

Q: Is this probe compatible with older 3300 series (non-XL) systems?

A: While 3300 XL components are physically compatible with older 3300 hardware, we recommend against mixing. To achieve the specified 200 mV/mil accuracy and thermal stability, you should use a 3300 XL probe, extension cable, and Proximitor sensor together.
