Bently Nevada 330101-00-08-05-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Probe

Product Summary

The Bently Nevada 330101-00-08-05-02-00 is a 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe engineered for precise non-contact displacement measurement.
It supports reliable vibration and shaft-position monitoring across critical rotating machinery in demanding industrial environments.
Moreover, the probe integrates seamlessly within the proven 3300 XL system architecture widely adopted in API 670 protection schemes.
Its compact stainless-steel construction ensures mechanical stability while maintaining excellent measurement linearity over long service periods.

Functional Highlights

This probe delivers stable voltage output proportional to shaft displacement for accurate static and dynamic measurements.
In addition, the 3/8-24 UNF threaded body allows secure installation in standard machine casing probe holders.
Enhanced internal design improves durability, therefore reducing replacement frequency in continuous-duty applications.
For instance, optional FluidLoc® cable technology effectively minimizes oil migration through the probe cable assembly.
Consequently, maintenance teams benefit from higher system availability and predictable long-term performance.

Typical Applications

This proximity probe is widely used on steam turbines, gas turbines, and centrifugal compressors.
Moreover, it performs reliably on pumps, motors, and generators requiring continuous shaft condition feedback.
The probe operates with a matching Proximitor® sensor and extension cable to form a complete transducer system.
Therefore, engineers can implement accurate vibration, thrust, and position monitoring within standardized protection racks.

FAQ

What measurements does this probe support?
It measures shaft vibration, radial position, and phase reference using non-contact eddy-current technology.

Is this probe compatible with older Bently Nevada systems?
Yes, it works with 3300, 3500, 7200, and 1900 monitoring platforms when properly configured.

Does the probe include pressure sealing?
The probe includes a Viton® O-ring seal, although factory pressure testing is not performed by default.

What is the typical service life in industrial applications?
With correct installation, probes often operate reliably for many years in oil-rich, high-vibration environments.
