Quick Detail

Description

The 330101-00-12-10-02-00 is a quintessential, high-performance 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe that sets the standard for reliable and precise machinery condition monitoring in demanding industrial settings. As a core component of the globally trusted 3300 XL platform from Bently Nevada, this Proximity Probe utilizes advanced eddy-current technology to deliver a stable, linear voltage output directly proportional to the distance between its probe tip and a conductive target. This fundamental capability enables the continuous and accurate measurement of both radial vibration and axial position, providing the critical data necessary for protecting valuable rotating assets such as turbines, compressors, pumps, and large motors from catastrophic failure.

This model distinguishes itself with a purposefully compact and robust design. Featuring a minimal overall case length of just 1.2 inches, the 330101-00-12-10-02-00 is engineered for installations where space is at a premium, offering easy integration into tight bearing housings and congested machinery layouts without compromising performance. Its durability is ensured by several patented innovations. The TipLoc molding method creates an exceptionally strong, monolithic bond between the probe tip and body, while the CableLoc design secures the integral 1.0-meter cable with a robust pull strength, preventing disconnection in high-vibration environments. For applications exposed to oils or process fluids, an optional FluidLoc cable is available to prevent internal fluid migration, further enhancing long-term reliability.

Constructed from premium materials, this Proximity Probe is built to endure. The probe tip is made of resilient Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), offering excellent resistance to chemical attack and high temperatures, while the housing is precision-machined from corrosion-resistant AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel. Certified for operation across a wide temperature range from -52°C to +178°C, it delivers consistent performance in both extreme cold and intense heat. As a genuine 3300 XL series component, it guarantees full electrical and mechanical interchangeability with all system extension cables and Proximitor monitors, enabling “plug-and-play” installation and hassle-free replacement.

Applications

This 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe serves as a foundational sensor for vibration and position monitoring across a vast spectrum of general-purpose industrial rotating machinery. Its compact 1.2-inch case and robust design make it ideal for continuous operation on critical equipment such as centrifugal pumps, industrial fans, electric motors, and steam turbine auxiliaries, where it reliably detects imbalances, misalignments, and early-stage bearing defects to support predictive maintenance programs.

In high-temperature and high-speed applications, the probe’s durable PPS tip and stainless steel construction ensure stable performance. It is extensively used for monitoring radial vibration and axial thrust position in gas turbines, compressors, and high-speed gearboxes, providing essential data to maintain operational clearances and prevent costly mechanical failures, even in environments with significant thermal cycling and exposure to lubricants.

Furthermore, for installations where fluid ingress is a concern, such as in paper mills, offshore platforms, or hydraulic systems, the optional FluidLoc cable variant of this probe provides a critical safeguard. This feature prevents oils and coolants from wicking along the cable interior, protecting connection integrity and ensuring uninterrupted, accurate monitoring of shaft dynamics and rotor position in wet or chemically challenging conditions.

Specifications

Competitive Advantage

1. Patented Mechanical Design for Unmatched Durability

The incorporation of Bently Nevada’s exclusive TipLoc and CableLoc technologies provides a significant mechanical advantage. These patented features create an exceptionally robust physical assembly that resists the primary failure modes of tip separation and cable pull-out, ensuring superior reliability and a longer service life in high-vibration industrial environments compared to probes using conventional potting or crimping methods.

2. Ultra-Compact Form Factor for Versatile Installation

With an overall case length of only 1.2 inches and an integral 1.0-meter cable, this probe offers one of the most space-efficient footprints in its class. This compact and lightweight (0.06kg) design allows for easy deployment in tightly spaced bearing housings and on smaller machinery frames, solving installation challenges where larger sensors simply cannot fit, without sacrificing any performance.

3. Factory-Integrated & Fully System-Compatible

The probe is supplied as a ready-to-install unit with a factory-attached cable and ClickLoc connector, ensuring optimal signal integrity from the start. As a core 3300 XL series component, it guarantees 100% interchangeability with all system monitors and extension cables, eliminating the need for field calibration or matched sets. This simplifies inventory, accelerates maintenance, and provides a future-proof upgrade path.

4. Premium Material Construction for Long-Term Stability

The use of a PPS probe tip and AISI 303/304 SST case delivers exceptional resistance to corrosion, chemical attack, and thermal stress. This material selection ensures consistent measurement accuracy and mechanical integrity over time, even when exposed to harsh industrial atmospheres, leading to reduced lifecycle costs through fewer failures and lower maintenance frequency.
