Bently Nevada 330101-00-65-10-11 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

The Bently Nevada 330101-00-65-10-11 is part of the 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System. This system includes a proximity probe, extension cable, and Proximitor sensor, designed for accurate non-contact vibration and position measurements. It is suitable for fluid-film bearing machines, turbine shaft monitoring, and Keyphasor reference applications. The probe offers high durability, EMI immunity, and ease of installation with its ClickLoc connector design.

Applications

• Shaft vibration and position monitoring

• Keyphasor and speed sensing

• Fluid-film bearing condition monitoring

• Turbomachinery diagnostics

• Overspeed protection systems

• Electrical insulation-critical environments

Advantages

• Fully API 670 compliant (mechanical, range, stability)

• Excellent EMI/RFI immunity — suitable for high-interference environments

• SpringLoc terminal strips for faster wiring

• TipLoc and CableLoc patented designs for robust field performance

• Interchangeable components with other 3300-series systems

• Extended temperature variants available (up to 260°C cable)

Technical Specifications

FAQ

Q1: What material is the 330101-00-65-10-11 probe tip made of?

A1: It is made of PPS (Polyphenylene sulfide), offering durability and chemical resistance.
