Bently Nevada 330103-00-09-05-02-00 8 mm Proximity Probe

Product Description

The Bently Nevada 330103-00-09-05-02-00 is an eddy current proximity probe engineered for high-precision vibration and displacement measurement in rotating machinery. As a core component of the 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System, it converts the relative distance between the probe tip and a conductive target into a stable, repeatable electrical signal.

This configuration combines an 8 mm sensing tip with a 9 mm probe body length and a factory-matched 5 m cable. The design supports installations where mounting depth is limited but measurement accuracy and environmental robustness remain critical. When paired with a compatible 3300 XL Proximitor sensor, the probe provides long-term measurement stability for both static and dynamic machine parameters.

Key Technical Characteristics

The 330103-00-09-05-02-00 probe is optimized for continuous operation in demanding industrial environments. It is suitable for monitoring shaft vibration, axial position, and relative displacement on fluid-film bearing machines.

Key performance highlights include:

• High linearity across the calibrated measurement range

• Low sensitivity to temperature drift when used with matched system components

• Mechanical construction designed to withstand continuous vibration and oil-mist environments

• ClickLoc locking connector to prevent signal loss due to connector loosening

System Integration Notes

For correct calibration and linear response, the 330103-00-09-05-02-00 must be used with the appropriate 3300 XL extension cable and Proximitor sensor. Mixing components from different probe families or cable lengths may affect scale factor and measurement accuracy.

Typical Application Areas

This proximity probe is commonly deployed in machinery protection and condition monitoring systems, including:

• Steam and gas turbines for radial and axial shaft monitoring

• Centrifugal compressors and pumps in oil and gas facilities

• High-speed rotating equipment in chemical and petrochemical plants

• Balance-of-plant machinery requiring continuous vibration supervision

FAQ

Q: Can this probe be used for axial position measurement?
A: Yes. When installed correctly and paired with a compatible Proximitor sensor, it supports both axial position and radial vibration measurements.

Q: Is the probe interchangeable with other 8 mm 3300 XL models?
A: Only probes with the same case length and cable configuration should be substituted to maintain calibration accuracy.

Q: Does the probe require field calibration?
A: No. The probe is factory calibrated as part of the 3300 XL system, provided all matched components are used.
