Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330104-00-18-10-02-05 belongs to the proven 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe family.
It delivers precise non-contact vibration and displacement measurements for critical rotating machinery worldwide.
Moreover, this probe supports reliable machinery protection strategies in demanding industrial environments.
Engineers commonly select this model for turbines, compressors, pumps, and large motors.
Therefore, it plays an essential role in condition monitoring and predictive maintenance programs.

This probe operates as part of a complete transducer system with extension cable and Proximitor® sensor.
Together, the system converts shaft motion into stable, repeatable electrical signals.
In addition, the calibration targets AISI 4140 steel, ensuring consistent accuracy across installations.

Functional Highlights

High sensitivity allows accurate detection of small shaft movements during normal and transient operation.
Moreover, the wide frequency response supports both vibration analysis and dynamic displacement measurements.
The robust stainless-steel probe body resists corrosion in oil, steam, and industrial atmospheres.
Therefore, long-term stability remains high even under continuous operation and temperature cycling.

The miniature ClickLoc connector simplifies installation and prevents accidental disconnection during maintenance activities.
In addition, compatibility with 3300 XL monitoring systems ensures straightforward system integration.
