330103-00-03-10-02-00 | Bently Nevada | 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Overview

The 330103-00-03-10-02-00 proximity probe is a precision sensor from the Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm probe series, engineered for non-contact measurement of shaft vibration and static or dynamic position. When used as part of the 3300 XL Proximity Transducer System, it converts mechanical movement of a conductive target into a highly stable electrical signal suitable for machinery protection and condition monitoring systems compliant with API 670.

This probe is optimized for compact installations where consistent accuracy, mechanical robustness, and long-term signal stability are required.

FAQ

Q: Can this probe operate independently without a Proximitor sensor?
A: No. The probe must be used with a compatible 3300 XL Proximitor® sensor and extension cable to form a complete transducer system.

Q: Is this probe interchangeable with 5 mm or 11 mm probe systems?
A: No. The 330103-00-03-10-02-00 is specifically designed for the 3300 XL 8 mm system and is not cross-compatible with other probe diameters.
