The Bently Nevada 330909-00-60-10-02-05 is a precision-engineered 3300 NSv (Narrow Side View) proximity probe designed to provide accurate, continuous monitoring of shaft vibration and displacement in rotating machinery. With a total length of 1 meter and a weight of 0.82 kg, this probe balances robust construction with ease of installation in compact or space-limited environments.

This model belongs to the well-established 3300 NSv series, known for its high reliability and compliance with industry standards. The probe features a non-contact eddy current sensing mechanism that accurately detects shaft movement without wear, making it ideal for critical machinery protection and predictive maintenance in industries such as power generation, petrochemical, oil and gas, and heavy manufacturing.

Built with a durable stainless steel housing and hermetic sealing, the probe is engineered to operate reliably under harsh conditions including extreme temperatures, vibration, and exposure to contaminants. The narrow side view design allows installation in tight spaces where conventional probes cannot fit, providing flexibility for a wide range of applications.
