Bently Nevada 330105-05-12-10-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Reverse Mount Probes

The Bently Nevada 330105-05-12-10-02-00 is part of the 3300 XL 8 mm reverse mount probe family, designed to deliver highly accurate shaft vibration and displacement measurements in rotating machinery. Unlike standard probes, the reverse mount configuration allows the probe to be installed from the opposite side of the machine casing, making it ideal for locations where traditional probe mounting is not possible due to limited space or accessibility.

Engineered with eddy current sensing technology, the probe generates a precise voltage signal proportional to the shaft’s movement, providing critical real-time data for machine condition monitoring and protection systems. With a 1-meter total length and robust stainless-steel housing, it ensures stability, durability, and low noise in demanding environments such as turbines, compressors, pumps, and industrial motors.
