Quick Detail

Description

The 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe (part number 330101-00-12-05-02-05) is a high-performance eddy current transducer specifically engineered for precision vibration and position measurement in industrial machinery. Designed with a 3/8-24 UNF threaded stainless steel case and a robust polyphenylene sulfide tip, this probe ensures reliable operation in demanding environments while maintaining high measurement accuracy. The probe’s linear range of 2 mm (80 mils) and direct voltage output proportional to target distance make it suitable for both static position detection and dynamic vibration analysis.

With a total cable length of 0.5 meters (1.6 feet) and a Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector, the 3300 XL 8 mm Probe offers easy integration into standard industrial setups. Its field wiring supports 16–24 AWG (0.2–1.5 mm²) conductors, facilitating flexible installation and connectivity. The probe is designed to operate across a wide temperature spectrum, from -52°C to +177°C (-62°F to +350°F), ensuring stability and durability in extreme conditions.

Engineered in full compliance with API 670 standards, the 3300 XL 8 mm system guarantees superior mechanical configuration, linearity, and thermal performance. This probe is fully compatible with existing 3300 series transducer systems, including 5 mm and 8 mm probes, enabling seamless interchangeability of probes, extension cables, and Proximitor sensors. This backward compatibility reduces installation time and eliminates the need for bench calibration, making system upgrades and replacements more convenient.

The 3300 XL 8 mm Probe incorporates several design enhancements over previous models. A patented TipLoc molding process strengthens the bond between the probe tip and body, while the CableLoc design provides up to 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength, securing the cable-to-probe connection. An optional FluidLoc cable version is available to prevent fluid leakage, making it ideal for lubricated or liquid-exposed machinery.

Widely used for Keyphasor reference signals, speed monitoring, and vibration diagnostics on fluid-film bearing machines, the 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe delivers exceptional reliability and precision in critical industrial applications. Whether for routine monitoring, preventive maintenance, or performance analysis, this probe represents a proven choice for industries requiring advanced vibration and position sensing technology.

Applications

Precision Vibration Monitoring

The 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe is ideally suited for measuring both static and dynamic vibration in industrial machinery. Its linear range of 2 mm (80 mils) and direct voltage output proportional to target distance allow it to detect minute positional changes. This capability is critical for fluid-film bearing machines, turbines, compressors, and generators, where accurate vibration monitoring ensures operational stability and helps prevent catastrophic mechanical failures.

Keyphasor and Speed Measurement
