The Bently Nevada 330104-00-13-05-02-00 is a robust 8 mm proximity probe, part of the 3300 XL series, designed for precision measurement of shaft position and vibration in rotating machinery. It delivers a linear voltage output proportional to the distance to a conductive surface, supporting both dynamic and static measurements. The probe features armored construction with M10 x 1 threading and is optimized for industrial environments requiring high reliability and compliance with API 670 standards.

Product Applications

• Shaft vibration and position monitoring in turbines, compressors, pumps, and motors

• Keyphasor reference signal generation

• Speed monitoring and overspeed protection

• Installation in hazardous and high-temperature industrial environments

Product Advantages

• Fully compliant with API 670 mechanical and performance standards

• Interchangeable with other 3300 XL 8 mm and non-XL components

• High immunity to EMI/RFI and harsh environmental conditions

• ClickLoc connectors ensure secure and tool-free installation

• Extended temperature and pressure resistance with armored cable
