Bently Nevada 330101-00-16-10-02-05 8 mm Proximity Probe

Product Description

Bently Nevada 330101-00-16-10-02-05 is part of the 3300 XL 8 mm eddy-current proximity probe series, engineered for precise monitoring of shaft vibration, displacement, and position in critical rotating machinery. This non-contact sensor delivers stable, repeatable measurements for turbines, compressors, pumps, motors, and high-speed gearboxes, making it a core component in machinery protection and condition monitoring systems.

The probe features a 3/8-24 UNF mounting thread, a 1.6-inch stainless steel case, and a 1.0-meter integrated cable. Its rugged construction ensures reliable operation in high-vibration, high-temperature, and industrial environments. The 3300 XL series offers enhanced accuracy, long-term stability, and full interchangeability with compatible extension cables and drivers.
