Bently Nevada 330908-00-55-05-02-00 3300 NSv Proximity Probe

The Bently Nevada 330908-00-55-05-02-00 is a precision-engineered 3300 NSv (Narrow Side View) proximity probe designed to deliver accurate, real-time monitoring of shaft vibration and displacement in rotating machinery. This probe belongs to the trusted 3300 NSv series, known for its durability and performance in demanding industrial applications.

With a total length of 0.5 meters and a shipping weight of 2 kg, the probe is built for robustness while maintaining the flexibility needed for installation in restricted spaces. The NSv design is tailored to fit into compact environments where standard probes cannot be used, allowing the sensor tip to sense the shaft’s movement from a narrow side orientation.

The probe uses eddy current technology for non-contact sensing, providing reliable data critical to machine health monitoring and early fault detection. Its rugged stainless steel housing and hermetically sealed construction ensure dependable operation under harsh conditions such as extreme temperatures, vibration, and exposure to contaminants.
