Bently Nevada 330104-00-13-10-01-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Product Overview

When machinery vibration threatens uptime, the Bently Nevada 330104-00-13-10-01-05 delivers precise displacement measurements. This 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe is designed for non-contact sensing of shaft vibration and position in rotating equipment. Built with a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip and AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel case, it withstands harsh industrial environments. The probe features M10 x 1 thread with armor, a 130 mm overall case length, and a 1.0 meter (3.3 feet) total length. It includes a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with connector protector and standard cable. Agency approvals include CSA, ATEX, and IECEx, making it suitable for hazardous area installations.

Key Specifications

The 330104-00-13-10-01-05 operates as part of a 3300 XL 8 mm system. Nominal probe DC resistance (RPROBE) from center conductor to outer conductor is 7.59 ± 0.50 Ω for the 1.0 meter probe length. The probe tip material is polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and the probe case material is AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel (SST). The probe is designed to seal differential pressure between the tip and case using a Viton O-ring. For electrical performance, the system requires -17.5 Vdc to -26 Vdc power when installed with nonincendive circuit per drawing 140979 at 12 mA maximum consumption, or -23 Vdc to -26 Vdc with barriers. Sensitivity is less than 2 mV change in output voltage per volt change in input voltage, and output resistance is 50 Ω.

Industry Applications

This proximity probe excels in critical rotating machinery monitoring. In steam turbines, compressors, and pumps, it provides real-time shaft displacement data to prevent catastrophic failures. The 3300 XL 8 mm design ensures reliable performance in high-vibration environments. The CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals allow installation in explosive atmospheres, such as oil refineries and chemical plants. The PPS tip resists chemical attack, while the stainless steel case handles mechanical stress.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Proper installation is essential for accurate readings. Mount the probe with the M10 x 1 thread into a compatible bracket or housing. Ensure the probe tip is gapped at 1.27 mm (50 mils) for standard calibration with an AISI 4140 steel target. Use the miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector for secure cable attachment. Verify the system uses only 3300 XL 8 mm components for accuracy. For hazardous locations, follow the nonincendive circuit installation drawing 140979.

Maintenance & Reliability

Regular inspection of the probe tip and cable is recommended. Check the Viton O-ring seal integrity to maintain differential pressure sealing. Clean the probe tip gently with a soft cloth to remove debris. The stainless steel case resists corrosion, but avoid exposure to extreme chemicals beyond PPS compatibility. Periodic verification of system sensitivity and output resistance ensures consistent performance.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

Before ordering, confirm the probe length and connector type match your application. The 330104-00-13-10-01-05 includes a 1.0 meter cable with miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector. Verify compatibility with your 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor and extension cable. For current availability and lifecycle status, contact plcmatrix.com.
