Quick Detail

Description

The 330103-00-06-05-02-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe is a high-performance, factory-sealed eddy current transducer engineered by Bently Nevada, a global leader in machinery protection solutions, with its origin in the USA. As a core member of the 3300 XL product line, this proximity probe is designed to deliver precise, non-contact measurement of radial vibration and axial position for critical rotating machinery, ensuring operational safety and reliability in the most demanding industrial settings.

At the heart of this 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe lies its advanced sensing technology, which generates a linear voltage signal proportional to the gap between the probe tip and conductive target surfaces. This enables real-time monitoring of key mechanical parameters such as shaft imbalance, misalignment, and bearing wear, providing actionable data to prevent unexpected equipment downtime. With a total cable length of 0.5 meters (1.6 feet) and a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector, the 330103-00-06-05-02-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe ensures secure, hassle-free installation and minimal signal loss, even in tight machinery layouts.

This proximity probe is built to withstand harsh operating conditions, boasting a corrosion-resistant AISI 303/304 stainless steel case and a durable Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) probe tip that resists oil, moisture, and corrosive agents. It holds CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications, making it fully compliant for deployment in Zone 1/2 hazardous areas where flammable gases, vapors, or dusts are present. With an overall case length of 60 mm and 0 mm unthreaded length, the 330103-00-06-05-02-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe offers a compact, streamlined profile ideal for space-constrained applications.

Applications

1 Critical Rotating Machinery Vibration & Position Monitoring

The 330103-00-06-05-02-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe is primarily designed for continuous, non-contact measurement of radial vibration and axial (thrust) position in high-value rotating equipment. It is widely deployed in steam turbines, centrifugal compressors, large pumps, and blowers, where it detects early signs of imbalance, misalignment, bearing degradation, and shaft runout. The probe’s 2 mm linear range ensures precise data capture, enabling predictive maintenance strategies that extend equipment lifespan and reduce unplanned downtime.

2.Hazardous Area Operations (Zone 1/2)

Thanks to its CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications, this proximity probe is authorized for direct use in hazardous environments commonly found in refineries, chemical plants, offshore production platforms, and mining facilities. It operates safely in areas with flammable gas, vapor, or dust concentrations, eliminating the need for additional protective enclosures and simplifying compliance with international safety standards such as API 670.

3. Space-Constrained Installation Scenarios

With an overall case length of 60 mm and 0 mm unthreaded length, the probe is optimized for deployment in tight machinery layouts, including compact bearing housings and densely packed compressor halls. Its 0.5-meter integrated cable and miniature ClickLoc connector reduce installation complexity, making it suitable for applications where the monitoring rack is located in close proximity to the measurement point.

4. Keyphasor Reference Signal Generation

The probe serves as a reliable source of Keyphasor reference signals for phase analysis and speed measurement in rotating machinery. This functionality is critical for synchronizing vibration data with shaft rotational position, enabling precise diagnosis of mechanical faults such as resonance, critical speed crossings, and gear tooth wear in industrial drive systems.

Specifications

Competitive Advantage

1. Factory-Certified Hazardous Area Compliance

The 330103-00-06-05-02-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe comes pre-equipped with CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals ex-factory. This eliminates the time, cost, and administrative burden of obtaining aftermarket certifications or designing custom protective housings, providing a seamless solution for projects in regulated industries such as oil & gas and petrochemicals. Unlike non-certified alternatives, this probe can be installed directly in Zone 1/2 hazardous areas without additional modifications.

2. Compact, Durable Design for Space-Constrained Environments

Featuring a 60 mm overall case length and 0 mm unthreaded length, the probe offers a streamlined profile that fits into tight bearing housings and dense machinery layouts where larger sensors cannot be deployed. Its AISI 303/304 stainless steel case and PPS probe tip deliver superior corrosion and wear resistance, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh environments with oil, moisture, and corrosive agents—outperforming probes with plastic or low-grade metal housings.

3. Plug-and-Play Compatibility with 3300 XL Ecosystem

As a genuine Bently Nevada 3300 XL series component, this proximity probe ensures full interchangeability and performance synergy with all 3300 XL monitors, extension cables, and accessories. This plug-and-play compatibility simplifies system integration, reduces maintenance logistics, and guarantees data accuracy for critical machinery protection functions. Unlike generic aftermarket probes, it maintains consistent performance within the 3300 XL ecosystem, avoiding signal compatibility issues that can lead to false alarms or missed fault detections.

4. Cost-Effective, Ready-to-Install Solution

Supplied as an original new factory-sealed unit, the probe requires no on-site assembly or calibration, cutting down installation time and labor costs. Its 0.5-meter integrated cable with ClickLoc connector eliminates the need for separate extension cables in short-distance installations, reducing potential connection points and associated failure risks. With in-stock availability and a 5–7 day delivery time, it provides a fast, reliable supply chain solution for urgent maintenance or new project deployments.
