Bently Nevada 330101-00-63-10-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

The Bently Nevada 330101-00-63-10-02-00 is part of the 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System, combining a non-contact probe, extension cable, and Proximitor Sensor to measure both static (position) and dynamic (vibration) signals. Designed for use in harsh industrial environments, it is primarily used on rotating machinery with fluid-film bearings for vibration monitoring and shaft position measurement.
