Bently Nevada 330101-05-20-10-02-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

The Bently Nevada 330101-05-20-10-02-05 is a 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe, designed for precise vibration and position measurements. As part of the 3300 XL Proximity Transducer System, it works with a matching extension cable and Proximitor sensor. This probe supports API 670 compliance, offers robust mechanical durability, and delivers accurate measurements in demanding industrial environments such as turbines, compressors, and motors.

Applications

• Shaft vibration monitoring

• Radial and axial position sensing

• Keyphasor speed and phase measurements

• Overspeed protection (with precautions)

• Condition monitoring for rotating machinery

• Use in high-density DIN rail and panel mount configurations

Advantages

• API 670 compliant: Ensures industry-standard reliability and accuracy

• Interchangeable design: Probe, cable, and Proximitor are fully swappable

• ClickLoc connectors: Secure and tool-free with built-in torque feedback

• Robust materials: PPS tip, stainless steel housing, and FEP cable insulation

• High temperature range: Operates up to 177°C standard or 218°C with ETR probe

• FluidLoc cable option: Prevents oil leakage along cable

• SpringLoc terminals: No tool required for wiring, reducing installation time

Technical Specifications

FAQ
