Bently Nevada 330101-00-25-05-02-05 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probes

The Bently Nevada 330101-00-25-05-02-05 is a part of the 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Transducer System, a cornerstone in rotating machinery protection and condition monitoring. Designed and manufactured by Bently Nevada, a trusted name in asset protection, this probe provides high-resolution, non-contact vibration and position measurements.

It uses an eddy current principle to detect the relative motion between a probe tip and the observed target surface, typically the shaft of turbines, compressors, motors, or pumps. This particular model features 25 feet (7.6 meters) of probe cable length and a standard 8mm tip, delivering precise output in critical machinery environments such as power generation, oil & gas, petrochemicals, and refining operations.
