Bently Nevada 330104-00-14-05-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Product Introduction

As industrial machinery grows more complex, the need for precise, reliable vibration monitoring has never been greater. The Bently Nevada 330104-00-14-05-02-00, part of the trusted 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probes series, delivers the accuracy and durability required for critical rotating equipment. Designed for harsh environments, this probe provides non-contact displacement measurements that help prevent unplanned downtime and extend asset life.

Technical Specifications Breakdown

The 330104-00-14-05-02-00 features a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) probe tip and an AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel case, ensuring corrosion resistance and long-term stability. It uses an M10 x 1 thread with armor for added protection in demanding installations. The unthreaded length is 00 mm, the overall case length is 140 mm, and the total length is 0.5 meter (1.6 feet). It connects via a Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with standard cable. The probe is designed to seal differential pressure between the tip and case using a Viton O-ring. Nominal probe DC resistance from center conductor to outer conductor is 7.45 ± 0.50 Ω for the 0.5 meter length.

Industry Applications

This proximity probe excels in monitoring shaft vibration and position in turbines, compressors, pumps, and motors across oil and gas, power generation, and manufacturing. Its rugged construction withstands high-pressure environments, making it suitable for steam turbine bearing housings and centrifugal compressor casings. By delivering consistent, accurate data, the 330104-00-14-05-02-00 helps maintenance teams detect early signs of imbalance, misalignment, or bearing wear.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Proper installation is key to reliable performance. Mount the probe with the M10 x 1 thread into a compatible mounting block or bracket, ensuring the tip is perpendicular to the target surface. Gap the probe at 1.27 mm (50 mils) for optimal linear range when using an AISI 4140 steel target. Use only 3300 XL 8 mm extension cables and a compatible Proximitor sensor to maintain system accuracy. Avoid exceeding the specified differential pressure limits to protect the Viton O-ring seal.

Maintenance & Reliability

Routine inspection of the probe tip and cable connector helps prevent measurement drift. Check for physical damage or contamination on the PPS tip and verify the connector is secure. The stainless steel case resists corrosion, but periodic cleaning with a soft, dry cloth is recommended. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for system calibration to ensure interchangeability and accuracy. The 330104-00-14-05-02-00 is built for long service life, reducing total cost of ownership.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

Before ordering, confirm that your system requires a 3300 XL 8 mm probe with a 0.5 meter cable and Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector. Verify compatibility with your existing Proximitor sensor and extension cable. For current lifecycle status and availability, contact plcmatrix.com.
