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

Product Overview

When unplanned downtime threatens production targets, the Bently Nevada 330104-00-10-10-02-CN 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe provides the precise vibration data you need to keep rotating machinery running reliably. As part of the trusted 3300 XL series, this probe is designed for continuous, non-contact displacement measurement in harsh industrial environments. Its robust construction and proven performance make it a preferred choice for maintenance engineers focused on asset health and serviceability.

Technical Specifications

The 330104-00-10-10-02-CN features an M10 x 1 thread with armor for enhanced durability. Key parameters include an unthreaded length of 00 mm, an overall case length of 100 mm, and a total length of 1.0 meter (3.3 feet). It uses a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with standard cable. The probe tip is made of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and the probe case is AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel (SST). Nominal probe DC resistance from center conductor to outer conductor is 7.59 ± 0.50 ohms at 1.0 meter length. The probe is designed to seal differential pressure between the tip and case using a Viton O-ring.

Industry Applications

This proximity probe excels in monitoring radial vibration and axial position of critical rotating equipment such as turbines, compressors, pumps, and motors. In a typical steam turbine installation, the 330104-00-10-10-02-CN provides early warning of shaft vibration anomalies, allowing maintenance teams to schedule repairs before catastrophic failure occurs. Its 8 mm sensing face and rugged stainless steel case suit applications where space is limited and environmental conditions are demanding.

Installation and Setup Guidance

For reliable measurements, mount the probe with a proper gap setting per manufacturer guidelines. Use the M10 x 1 threaded mounting hole and ensure the probe tip is clean and free of debris. The miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector simplifies cable attachment and reduces installation time. Verify that the extension cable and Proximitor sensor are compatible 3300 XL 8 mm components to maintain system accuracy. Always reference the installation drawing for non-incendive circuit connections when using a -24 Vdc power supply.

Maintenance and Reliability

From a maintenance engineer's perspective, the 330104-00-10-10-02-CN offers long-term reliability with minimal upkeep. Periodically inspect the probe cable and connector for wear or damage, especially in high-vibration areas. The Viton O-ring seal helps maintain pressure integrity, reducing the risk of false readings. Because the probe is a passive sensor, there are no moving parts to fail, contributing to extended service intervals and lower total cost of ownership.

Compatibility and Integration

This probe is designed to work exclusively with 3300 XL 8 mm Proximitor sensors and extension cables. It accepts one non-contacting 3300-series 5 mm or 3300 XL 8 mm probe. The system requires a -17.5 Vdc to -26 Vdc power supply (with non-incendive circuit) and delivers output resistance of 50 ohms. For best performance, use only genuine Bently Nevada components to ensure system accuracy and interchangeability.

Selection Guide and Purchasing Advice

Before ordering, confirm that the 330104-00-10-10-02-CN matches your required thread size (M10 x 1), cable length (1.0 meter), and connector type (miniature coaxial ClickLoc). Verify compatibility with your existing Proximitor and extension cable. For current availability and lifecycle status, contact plcmatrix.com, a trusted supplier of industrial automation components.
