Bently Nevada 330104-00-07-10-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Introduction

When machinery vibration threatens uptime, the Bently Nevada 330104-00-07-10-02-00 delivers precise measurement. This 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe uses a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip and AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel case for durability. It features an M10 x 1 thread with armor, a 1.0 meter (3.3 feet) total length, and a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with standard cable. Designed for continuous monitoring in harsh industrial environments, this probe helps prevent catastrophic failures.

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters define the 330104-00-07-10-02-00 performance. The unthreaded length is 00 mm, overall case length is 70 mm, and total length is 1.0 meter. Nominal probe DC resistance from center conductor to outer conductor measures 7.59 ± 0.50 ohms at 1.0 meter. The probe tip material is polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and the case material is AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel. It accepts one non-contacting 3300-series 5 mm or 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe and extension cable. Power requires -17.5 Vdc to -26 Vdc with non-incendive circuit at 12 mA maximum consumption, or -23 Vdc to -26 Vdc with barriers. Output resistance is 50 ohms, with sensitivity less than 2 mV change per volt change in input voltage.

Industry Applications

This probe excels in rotating machinery monitoring. Use it on turbines, compressors, and pumps to measure shaft vibration and position. The 3300 XL 8 mm design seals differential pressure between probe tip and case using a Viton O-ring, making it suitable for high-pressure environments. In petrochemical plants, the stainless steel case resists corrosion. The PPS tip withstands wear, ensuring long service life. By detecting early vibration changes, operators can schedule maintenance before unplanned downtime occurs.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Proper installation ensures accurate readings. Mount the probe with the M10 x 1 thread into a compatible bracket or housing. Gap the probe at 1.27 mm (50 mils) against an AISI 4140 steel target for standard calibration. Use the miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector for secure cable attachment. Verify the power supply delivers -17.5 Vdc to -26 Vdc for non-incendive circuits, or -23 Vdc to -26 Vdc with barriers. Operation above -23.5 Vdc may reduce linear range. Connect the extension cable and Proximitor sensor per installation drawing 140979.

Maintenance & Reliability

Regular inspection extends probe life. Check the probe tip for wear or contamination. Verify the Viton O-ring maintains seal integrity. Confirm cable connections are tight and free of corrosion. The stainless steel case resists environmental damage, but periodic cleaning with a soft cloth is recommended. Avoid exposing the probe to temperatures outside the standard operating range of +18°C to +27°C (+64°F to +80°F) at altitudes below 2000 meters. Following these steps reduces replacement costs and maintains measurement accuracy.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

Before ordering, confirm the probe length and connector match your system. The 330104-00-07-10-02-00 includes a 1.0 meter cable with miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector. Verify your Proximitor sensor and extension cable are 3300 XL 8 mm compatible. For applications requiring agency approval, note this model has option 00 (not required).
