Bently Nevada 330104-00-20-05-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330104-00-20-05-02-00 non-contacting sensor serves as a vital component within the industry-standard 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System. This eddy current probe tracks radial shaft vibration, axial positioning, and fluid-film bearing clearances in heavy rotating machinery. It supplies continuous displacement data to protection systems, shielding large-scale steam turbines, centrifugal compressors, and multi-stage process pumps from structural destruction. We deliver this high-grade industrial item in 100% brand new, original factory-sealed condition to guarantee uncompromised performance metrics and original factory calibration.

Part Number Breakdown

Bently Nevada builds this 3300 XL probe configuration utilizing a modular specification scheme. The specific alphanumeric code 330104-00-20-05-02-00 breaks down into the following operational choices:

Technical Specifications

The electrical parameters of this 5.0-meter probe map precisely to standard 3300 XL Proximitor® sensors to achieve linear voltage-to-distance conversion.

• Thread Specification: M10 x 1 metric thread

• Probe Tip Material: Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS)

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

• Overall Case Length: 200 mm

• Total Probe Cable Length: 5.0 meters (16.4 feet)

• Interconnect Termination: Gold-plated miniature coaxial ClickLoc™ connector

• Net Weight: 0.323 kg

• Country of Origin: United States of America (U.S.A.)

Engineering Advantages

• Ultra-Deep Casing Reach: The 200 mm overall case length satisfies specific deep-immersion industrial applications. It routes past external insulation layers, secondary support jackets, or deep machine blockages to place the sensing face exactly where needed near the target shaft.

• Elimination of Case Flapping: Full external casing threads (0 mm unthreaded choice) lock the extra-long 200 mm body securely into tapped mounting holes or brackets. This structural support prevents probe whip or high-frequency flexing caused by heavy cross-axis windage inside internal bearing zones.

• Zero-Tool ClickLoc Locking: The patented ClickLoc™ system pairs with the standard cable setup to ensure quick, positive mechanical lock engagement. Gold plating protects the signal line against impedance fluctuations or micro-fretting caused by persistent asset chassis vibration.

• Aggressive Processing Defenses: High-grade polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) acts as a total shield over the sensor head. The material completely blocks high-pressure steam mist, moisture penetration, and chemical breakdown from synthetic lubricants or extreme industrial oils.

FAQs

• Does this 5.0-meter probe require an intermediate extension cable to connect to a Proximitor sensor?

  No. Because this unique configuration features an integrated 5.0-meter total cable length, you connect the miniature coaxial ClickLoc™ connector directly to a 5.0-meter calibrated 3300 XL Proximitor sensor. Introducing an extension cable here will disrupt the system's electrical balance and cause critical calibration failure.

• What specific torque rating applies to this 200 mm long M10 stainless steel case?

  Apply a maximum mounting torque of 4.5 N·m (40 in·lb) using a calibrated torque tool. Forcing the long casing past this threshold stretches the underlying threads and shears the micro-wires running down to the internal probe coil, instantly ruining the device.

• Can I substitute this 3300 XL probe for a legacy non-XL 3300 series 8 mm probe?

  Yes. The 3300 XL probe replaces older 3300 series 8 mm probes. While the physical dimensions match perfectly, mixing generations slightly shifts the scale factor from the typical API 670 specification. We recommend matching your probe with the same system series whenever replacing critical core sensors.
