Bently Nevada 330104-00-12-05-02-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Product Introduction

When machinery vibration threatens uptime, the Bently Nevada 330104-00-12-05-02-05 provides reliable, non-contact displacement measurement. This 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe is designed for harsh industrial environments, offering robust performance with a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip and AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel case. Made in the U.S.A., it features a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector and standard cable, ensuring secure signal transmission.

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters define the 330104-00-12-05-02-05's capabilities. The probe has an unthreaded length of 00 mm and an overall case length of 12 mm. Total length is 0.5 meters (1.6 feet). Nominal probe DC resistance (RPROBE) from center conductor to outer conductor is 7.45 ± 0.50 Ω at 0.5 m length. The probe tip material is polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and the case material is AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel. Agency approvals include CSA, ATEX, and IECEx, confirming suitability for hazardous locations.

Industry Applications

This proximity probe excels in rotating machinery monitoring—turbines, compressors, pumps, and motors. Its 8 mm diameter and M10 x 1 thread allow easy installation in standard mounting holes. The armor protects the cable in abrasive environments. With CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals, it meets global safety standards for explosive atmospheres, making it ideal for oil and gas, petrochemical, and power generation industries.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Proper installation ensures accurate readings. Mount the probe with the M10 x 1 thread into a drilled and tapped hole. Maintain a gap of 1.27 mm (50 mils) from the target surface for optimal linear range. Use the miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector to attach the extension cable securely. Verify the system uses only 3300 XL 8 mm components for specified accuracy. The probe seals differential pressure between tip and case via a Viton O-ring.

Maintenance & Reliability

Routine inspection of the probe tip and cable for wear or damage extends service life. The PPS tip resists chemicals and abrasion. The stainless steel case withstands corrosion. Check the O-ring seal periodically to maintain pressure integrity. Following the manufacturer's guidelines ensures reliable operation and minimizes unplanned downtime.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

Before ordering the 330104-00-12-05-02-05, verify your system requires an 8 mm probe with 0.5 meter cable and M10 x 1 thread. Confirm the need for armor and agency approvals (CSA, ATEX, IECEx).
