Bently Nevada 330104-00-24-10-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330104-00-24-10-02-00 operates as a high-precision, non-contacting eddy current sensor within the industry-standard 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System. This specialized probe tracks dynamic shaft radial vibration, axial displacement (thrust position), and fluid-film bearing clearances in critical rotating machinery. It feeds real-time voltage signals directly to machinery protection monitors to safeguard high-speed steam turbines, centrifugal compressors, and large industrial pumps from catastrophic damage. We supply this premium technical component in 100% brand new, original factory-sealed condition to guarantee original calibration curves, stable signal output, and immediate asset protection deployment.

Part Number Breakdown

Bently Nevada configures this specific 3300 XL probe option sequence to meet distinct mechanical reach and cabling mandates. The model number 330104-00-24-10-02-00 breaks down into the following engineered parameters:

Engineering Advantages

• Armored Defense Against Mechanical Abuse: The integrated stainless steel armor sleeve completely encases the internal transmission line. This physical shield prevents sharp-edge slicing, hot oil pooling degradation, and crushing forces during heavy conduit pulls or crowded routing pathways inside the machine train.

• Extended Reach for Deep Bearing Cavities: The 240 mm case length easily traverses thick thermal insulation blankets, secondary cooling jackets, and deep bearing block housings to place the sensor face at the exact fluid-film target zone.

• Vibration-Resistant Rigid Mounting: The 0 mm unthreaded configuration provides maximum thread engagement across the entire 240 mm body. This total contact locks the probe assembly flat against the bracket, preventing internal case resonance or flexing induced by heavy high-velocity oil windage.

• Positive-Locking Signal Shielding: The gold-plated ClickLoc™ coaxial connector maintains low electrical resistance over time. It prevents signal degradation and high-impedance drift from micro-fretting corrosion caused by persistent high-frequency asset chassis vibration.

FAQs

• What specific extension cable must I pair with this 1.0-meter armored probe?

  A standard 3300 XL Proximitor sensor calibrates for a total system length of either 5.0 meters or 9.0 meters. Because this probe integrates a 1.0-meter cable, you must insert either a 4.0-meter or an 8.0-meter armored 3300 XL extension cable to complete the tuned RF circuit and maintain exact factory scaling.

• What mounting torque prevents casing damage during installation?

  Always tighten this M10 x 1 stainless steel case to a maximum torque limit of 4.5 N·m (40 in·lb). Forcing the long 240 mm body beyond this limit stretches the outer steel casing and snaps the delicate micro-wires running to the internal face coil, instantly destroying the transducer.

• Can I use this probe in applications requiring hazardous area certifications (like ATEX or IECEx)?

  No, this specific part number ends in the option code "-00", which signifies that it does not carry hazardous area agency approvals. If your plant environment requires intrinsic safety or explosion-proof ratings, you must select a configuration ending in the "-05" option code (Multiple Approvals).
