Bently Nevada 330104-00-10-10-01-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Product Overview

When unplanned downtime threatens your rotating machinery, the Bently Nevada 330104-00-10-10-01-00 delivers reliable vibration and position sensing. This 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe uses eddy current technology to measure shaft displacement with high accuracy. Designed for harsh industrial environments, it features a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip and AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel case for durability. The probe includes armor and a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with protector, ensuring stable signal transmission. Whether you monitor turbines, compressors, or pumps, this probe helps prevent catastrophic failures.

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters define the 330104-00-10-10-01-00 performance. The probe has an unthreaded length of 00 mm and an overall case length of 100 mm. Total length is 1.0 meter (3.3 feet), with standard cable and a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector. The probe tip material is polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and the case is AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel. It seals differential pressure between tip and case using a Viton O-ring. Nominal DC resistance from center conductor to outer conductor is 7.59 ± 0.50 Ω for 1.0 m probe length. These specs ensure consistent readings in demanding conditions.

Industry Applications

This proximity probe excels in rotating machinery monitoring. Use it for radial vibration and axial position measurement in steam turbines, gas turbines, centrifugal compressors, and large pumps. The 8 mm diameter and M10 x 1 thread allow easy installation in standard mounting holes. Its armored cable resists abrasion in high-vibration areas. By providing real-time data, the probe helps maintenance teams detect bearing wear, shaft misalignment, and imbalance early, reducing unplanned outages.

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) for optimal linear range when using a -24 Vdc power supply and 10 kΩ load. Connect the miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector to a 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor and extension cable. Verify the target material is AISI 4140 steel for system accuracy. Avoid overtightening to prevent damage to the PPS tip. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for cable routing to minimize electrical noise.

Maintenance & Reliability

Regular inspection extends probe life. Check the probe tip for debris or wear, especially in abrasive environments. Verify the Viton O-ring seals remain intact to maintain differential pressure integrity. Inspect the armored cable for cuts or kinks. The stainless steel case resists corrosion, but periodic cleaning with a soft cloth is recommended. Because this probe is part of a critical monitoring system, follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule to ensure reliable operation. Always test the system after any maintenance activity.

Buying Guide

Before purchasing the 330104-00-10-10-01-00, confirm your system requirements. This probe works exclusively with 3300 XL 8 mm Proximitor Sensors and extension cables. Verify the thread size (M10 x 1) matches your mounting hole. The 1.0 meter cable length suits many installations, but longer runs may require an extension cable. No agency approval is required for this configuration. For current availability and lifecycle status, contact plcmatrix.com.
