Quick Detail

Description

The 330101-00-12-10-02-05 is a specialized, ultra-compact component within the globally recognized 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probes series. Engineered by Bently Nevada for high-precision machinery protection, this eddy-current sensor is designed to provide continuous, real-time data on shaft vibration and axial position. The 330101-00-12-10-02-05 operates on a non-contacting principle, translating the physical distance between the probe tip and a conductive target into a stable, linear voltage signal. This allows for the early detection of mechanical anomalies in critical rotating assets like high-speed turbines, compressors, and industrial pumps.

This specific model, the 330101-00-12-10-02-05, is characterized by its 1.2-inch overall case length and 0-inch unthreaded length, making it one of the most space-efficient 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probes available. The compact dimensions allow it to be integrated into extremely tight bearing housings where traditional sensors would fail to fit. Despite its small size, the 330101-00-12-10-02-05 maintains a robust eddy-current sensor performance with a 2 mm (80 mils) linear range and high thermal stability. To ensure maximum reliability, it incorporates Bently Nevada's patented TipLoc and CableLoc technologies, which create a monolithic bond between the probe tip and the stainless steel housing, significantly increasing the sensor's resistance to tip separation and cable pull-out.

Applications

The 330101-00-12-10-02-05 is ideally suited for radial vibration and axial position monitoring in small-to-medium-sized rotating machinery. Due to its ultra-compact 1.2-inch case length, it is the preferred choice for installation in confined bearing housings of centrifugal pumps, cooling tower fans, and electric motors. By providing high-resolution displacement data, it enables operators to identify early signs of shaft imbalance or bearing wear, preventing costly unplanned outages.

In high-temperature and high-velocity environments such as steam turbine auxiliaries and gearboxes, this 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe delivers consistent performance. Its PPS tip and stainless steel construction allow it to operate reliably in the presence of hot lubricating oils and thermal cycling. It is frequently used for Keyphasor sensing, providing precise timing and speed signals to monitoring systems for phase analysis and balance correction in high-speed machinery.

This probe is extensively applied in critical machinery protection systems across the oil, gas, and power generation sectors. Because it carries CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications, the 330101-00-12-10-02-05 can be safely deployed in hazardous locations. It ensures continuous monitoring of rotor dynamics in large compressors and turbines, where maintaining strict operational clearances is vital for preventing mechanical contact and catastrophic equipment failure

Specifications

Competitive Advantage

Patented Mechanical Integrity: The 330101-00-12-10-02-05 utilizes Bently Nevada’s exclusive TipLoc molding and CableLoc design. These innovations provide a superior mechanical bond that prevents the probe tip from detaching and ensures the cable can withstand high pull forces. This results in a much lower failure rate compared to standard sensors when exposed to the intense vibrations of industrial machinery.

Ultra-Compact Design for Versatile Mounting: With an overall case length of only 1.2 inches, this probe solves significant installation challenges in modern, compact machine designs. It allows for the placement of high-quality 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probes in locations where there is insufficient clearance for standard-length probes, ensuring no critical monitoring point is left unprotected.

Seamless System Interchangeability: As part of the 3300 XL family, this probe is fully compatible with all 3300 XL series Proximitor sensors and extension cables. This "plug-and-play" capability eliminates the need for matched sets or field calibration, significantly reducing inventory complexity and shortening the time required for sensor replacement during maintenance shutdowns.
