Quick Detail

Description

The Bently Nevada 330103-00-15-10-02-CN 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe is an extended-length, intrinsically certified eddy current sensor engineered for precision machinery health monitoring in applications requiring deeper penetration and installation through thick casings or insulation. As a distinguished member of the industry-leading 3300 XL series from Bently Nevada, this proximity probe features a specialized 150mm (5.9-inch) overall case length, providing the necessary reach for installations where the measurement point is located behind substantial material or within deep-set bearing housings. It comes fully pre-certified with CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals, authorizing its immediate and compliant deployment in Zone 1 and 2 hazardous locations characterized by the potential presence of explosive gases or dusts. This integrated certification offers a turnkey safety solution for high-risk sectors such as oil & gas, petrochemical refining, and offshore energy production, eliminating the need for costly external protective enclosures.

Engineered for reliable and accurate non-contact measurement, this 8 mm proximity probe delivers a robust 2 mm (80 mils) linear range, enabling the precise detection of dynamic shaft vibration and static axial position on critical rotating machinery. Its extended 150mm case length is complemented by a 0 mm unthreaded length design, facilitating secure mounting through standard gland plates and deep mounting holes. The probe is equipped with a 1.0-meter (3.3 feet) standard cable terminated with a secure Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector, ensuring robust signal transmission and seamless integration with the broader 3300 XL monitoring infrastructure.

Applications

This probe is specifically engineered for monitoring large turbomachinery with deep-set bearings or thick external casings, such as main boiler feed pumps, large steam turbines, and heavy-duty centrifugal compressors in power generation and petrochemical plants. Its 150mm case length allows it to traverse through insulation layers and heavy mounting blocks to reach the measurement point directly at the shaft, providing critical vibration and position data from within the machine's core structure.

It is ideally suited for hazardous area applications on offshore platforms and floating production vessels where equipment is often housed within classified modules. The probe's extended length and integrated safety certifications make it perfect for monitoring gas export compressors and seawater injection pumps, where the sensor must be mounted through bulkheads or firewalls to measure shaft conditions in adjacent hazardous zones while the monitoring system resides in a safe area.

The sensor is effectively used for providing Keyphasor® timing and overspeed protection signals on large, slow-speed rotating equipment like induced-draft fans, large gearboxes, and paper mill rolls. Its long body allows flexible mounting to align precisely with shaft keyways or timing marks, even when obstructions are present, delivering the accurate once-per-revolution signal necessary for phase analysis, balancing, and protective tripping.

Specifications

Competitive Advantage

1. Extended 150mm Case Length for Deep or Insulated Mounting Applications

Featuring a specialized 150mm overall case length, this probe provides a distinct mechanical advantage for installations requiring significant reach. It is designed to penetrate through thick insulation, deep mounting bosses, or traverse from a safe area into a hazardous zone through a gland, solving installation challenges where standard-length probes are physically insufficient.

2. Factory-Integrated Hazardous Area Certification for Streamlined Compliance

The probe arrives with fully integrated CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals, making it a pre-qualified, off-the-shelf solution for explosive atmospheres. This eliminates the extensive engineering reviews, documentation, and additional protective costs associated with field-certifying uncertified equipment, drastically accelerating project timelines and ensuring regulatory compliance from the moment of installation.

3. Robust Construction for Reliable Performance in Corrosive and High-Temperature Environments

Built with an AISI 301/304 stainless steel case and a chemically inert PPS probe tip, the sensor offers superior defense against corrosive process fluids, salt spray, and abrasive particulates. Combined with its wide operating temperature range (-57°C to +110°C), this ruggedized design guarantees long-term signal stability and sensor longevity in the most aggressive industrial settings, reducing lifecycle costs and maintenance interventions.
