Bently Nevada 330104-05-10-10-02-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Product Introduction

When reliable vibration monitoring is critical for rotating machinery, the Bently Nevada 330104-05-10-10-02-05 delivers precise displacement measurements. This 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe is designed for harsh industrial environments, featuring a rugged M10 x 1 thread with armor for added protection. Manufactured in the USA, this probe is part of the trusted 3300 XL series, known for accuracy and durability.

Technical Specifications Breakdown

The 330104-05-10-10-02-05 offers key specifications that ensure consistent performance. The unthreaded length is 50 mm, and the overall case length is 100 mm. Total length is 1.0 meter (3.3 feet), providing flexibility for installation in tight spaces. The probe tip material is polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and the case material is AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel (SST), offering excellent corrosion resistance. Nominal probe DC resistance (RPROBE) from center conductor to outer conductor is 7.59 ± 0.50 Ω for the 1.0 meter length. The probe is designed to seal differential pressure between tip and case using a Viton O-ring.

Industry Applications

This proximity probe is ideal for monitoring shaft vibration and position in turbines, compressors, pumps, and motors. In a typical steam turbine installation, the 330104-05-10-10-02-05 provides accurate gap measurements, helping operators detect early signs of bearing wear or misalignment. Its CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals make it suitable for hazardous area applications, including oil and gas facilities.

Installation & Setup Guidance

For optimal performance, mount the probe with the specified M10 x 1 thread into a properly tapped hole. Ensure the probe tip is clean and free of debris before installation. Gap the probe at 1.27 mm (50 mils) when using an AISI 4140 steel target, as per standard calibration. Use the miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector for secure, quick cable attachment. Verify the system uses only 3300 XL 8 mm components to maintain accuracy.

Maintenance & Reliability

Routine inspection of the probe and cable is recommended. Check the Viton O-ring seal for integrity to maintain differential pressure sealing. Avoid exposing the probe to temperatures or pressures beyond its design limits. The stainless steel case and PPS tip resist corrosion and wear, extending service life and reducing replacement costs.

Buying Guide & Purchasing Advice

Before ordering, verify the total length and connector type match your system requirements. The 330104-05-10-10-02-05 includes a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with standard cable. Ensure compatibility with your 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor and extension cable.
