The Bently Nevada 330180-X1-05 145004-94 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor is a key component of the 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System, designed for precise vibration and position measurement on fluid-film bearing machines. It delivers a voltage output directly proportional to the distance between the probe tip and the conductive target surface, enabling accurate monitoring of both static and dynamic conditions.

Its design ensures full compliance with API 670 mechanical configuration, linear range, accuracy, and temperature stability standards, while supporting complete interchangeability with other 3300 XL 8 mm system components.
