Bently Nevada 330104-00-07-10-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Metric Proximity Probe

Product Overview

The 330104-00-07-10-02-00 functions as a high-precision displacement transducer within the Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm ecosystem. This metric-threaded probe utilizes non-contact eddy current technology to monitor vibration and axial position in critical rotating assets like gas turbines and centrifugal compressors. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New original hardware, Made in the U.S.A., designed to interface seamlessly with 3300 XL Proximitor® Sensors for laboratory-grade machinery diagnostics.

Part Number Breakdown

The 330104 series utilizes a modular nomenclature to define precise mechanical specifications for metric installations:

Technical Specifications

The 330104-00-07-10-02-00 maintains rigorous performance standards in high-interference environments:

• Probe Tip Diameter: 8.0 mm

• Thread Specification: M10 x 1

• Linear Range: 2.0 mm (80 mils)

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

• Tip Material: Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS)

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

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

• Connector Type: Gold-plated ClickLoc™ miniature coaxial

Engineering Advantages

• Optimized Deep-Reach Installation: The 70 mm fully threaded case provides extended reach for thick bearing housings or machine casings. This length allows engineers to achieve the correct gapping distance in recessed mounting points where standard-length probes fall short.

• ClickLoc™ Interconnect Security: The gold-plated ClickLoc™ connector system prevents the cable from backing out due to high-frequency machine vibration. This locking mechanism ensures a gas-tight, low-resistance electrical path, eliminating the signal noise often associated with standard coaxial interfaces.

• Exceptional Chemical Resilience: The Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip resists degradation from hot turbine oils and synthetic lubricants. This chemical inertness ensures the probe maintains its insulation integrity and sensing accuracy over decades of continuous immersion.

• Precision Metric Integration: The M10 x 1 thread fits directly into metric-standard machinery housings without the need for conversion adapters. This direct fit minimizes mechanical play and ensures the probe remains perpendicular to the target shaft for maximum linearity.

• Thermal Stability: The 3300 XL design maintains a constant scale factor across wide temperature fluctuations. This stability ensures that your vibration monitoring system provides accurate data during both cold machine startup and sustained full-load operation.

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 primary benefit of the "00" unthreaded length?

A: The "00" option means the probe body is threaded along its entire 70 mm case. This provides maximum flexibility during installation, allowing you to screw the probe precisely through the mounting bracket to achieve the required DC gap voltage.

Q: Is the probe tip resistant to high-pressure environments?

A: Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm probes seal differential pressure between the tip and the case. However, if your application involves high-pressure submersion (e.g., inside a pressurized gearbox), please consult our technical team to verify specific PSI ratings.
