Bently Nevada 330104-00-13-15-01-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe, Metric

Precision Vibration Monitoring for Critical Machinery

When unplanned downtime threatens production targets, the Bently Nevada 330104-00-13-15-01-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe delivers the reliable shaft displacement data you need. This metric probe with M10x1 thread and armored construction is engineered for continuous operation in demanding rotating machinery applications, from steam turbines to centrifugal compressors.

Key Technical Specifications

The 330104-00-13-15-01-00 offers a linear range of 2 mm (80 mils), starting at approximately 0.25 mm (10 mils) from the target and extending to 2.3 mm (90 mils). Its nominal probe DC resistance is 7.73 ± 0.50 ohms for the 1.5-meter length. The recommended gap setting for radial vibration is -9 Vdc, corresponding to about 1.27 mm (50 mils). Field wiring accepts 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (16 to 24 AWG) conductors, with a maximum cable length of 305 meters (1,000 feet) between the proximitor sensor and monitor.

Built for Harsh Environments

The probe tip is made of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), while the case uses AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel. It operates reliably from -52°C to +177°C (-62°F to +350°F) for standard probes, with an extended temperature range option reaching +218°C at the tip. Humidity testing shows less than 3% change in average scale factor after 56 days at 93% relative humidity per IEC 68-2-3.

Installation and Setup Guidance

Mount the probe using the M10x1 thread with a maximum engagement length of 15 mm. Use a 3-conductor shielded triad cable with tinned field wiring for best signal integrity. Ensure the probe is not exposed to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F) to avoid premature pressure seal failure. The miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with connector protector simplifies field replacement.

Maintenance and Reliability

Routine inspection of the probe cable and connector is recommended. The Viton O-ring pressure seal is designed for differential sealing between tip and case, but probes are not pressure tested before shipment. For applications requiring pressure seal verification, contact the custom design department. The probe weight is 323 g/m (11.4 oz).

Compatibility and Integration

This probe integrates with Bently Nevada 3300 XL proximitor sensors and monitoring systems. For intrinsically safe installations, use zener barriers per drawing 141092 or galvanic isolators to achieve Class I, Zone 0 ratings. Non-incendive circuits per drawing 140979 support Class I, Zone 2 installations.

Selection and Purchasing Advice

Verify the total length option (1.5 meters for this variant) and agency approval requirements before ordering. The 330104-00-13-15-01-00 is a metric configuration with 130 mm overall case length. For current availability and lifecycle status, please verify with plcmatrix.com before ordering.
