Quick Detail

Description

The 330101-00-23-15-02-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe is a high-performance eddy current proximity sensor designed for precise non-contact measurement in industrial automation and rotating machinery monitoring systems. As part of the advanced 3300 XL proximity probe family, this 8 mm proximity probe provides an output voltage directly proportional to the distance between the probe tip and a conductive target surface, enabling accurate measurement of both static position and dynamic vibration. The 330101-00-23-15-02-05 proximity probe is widely used in automation environments where reliable shaft position, vibration, speed, and reference measurements are critical to machinery protection and condition monitoring strategies.

With a linear measurement range of 2 mm (80 mils) and a low output resistance of 50 Ω, the 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe ensures stable signal transmission and high accuracy even in electrically noisy industrial automation systems. The probe is equipped with a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector and a standard 1.5 m cable, simplifying installation and maintenance in confined machine layouts. Its 3/8-24 UNF threaded probe case and controlled maximum thread engagement of 0.563 in support consistent mechanical mounting. Designed for harsh environments, the probe operates reliably across a wide temperature range from -52°C to +177°C, meeting demanding requirements in oil & gas, power generation, and heavy industrial automation applications.

Fully compliant with API 670 and certified with CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals, the 330101-00-23-15-02-05 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe delivers industry-leading performance, interchangeability, and long-term stability. Advanced design features such as TipLoc molded probe tips and CableLoc high-strength cable construction (330 N pull strength) enhance mechanical integrity and reliability. Backward compatibility with other 3300 series components ensures seamless integration into existing automation and machinery monitoring infrastructures without the need for individual component calibration.

Applications

Application 1: Fluid-Film Bearing Vibration Monitoring
The 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe is extensively used on fluid-film bearing machines to measure shaft vibration. With a 2 mm linear range and minimal supply sensitivity of <2 mV/V, it provides accurate vibration data for automated machinery protection systems, enabling early detection of imbalance and misalignment.

Application 2: Shaft Position and Axial Thrust Measurement
In compressors and turbines, the 330101-00-23-15-02-05 proximity probe measures static shaft position and axial movement. Its stable output and 50 Ω output resistance support continuous position monitoring within PLC and DCS-based automation platforms.

Application 3: Keyphasor Reference and Speed Detection
When configured as a reference probe, the 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe delivers precise phase and speed signals. This capability supports automated speed control, phase analysis, and synchronization functions in rotating equipment monitoring systems.

Application 4: Turbomachinery Condition Monitoring
Installed on pumps, steam turbines, and gas turbines, the proximity probe captures dynamic shaft motion under varying loads. The wide -52°C to +177°C operating temperature range ensures reliable performance in high-temperature industrial automation environments.

Application 5: Hazardous Area Automation Systems
With CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals, the probe is suitable for use in hazardous locations. It integrates safely into automated monitoring systems in oil, gas, and chemical plants where explosion-proof and intrinsically safe instrumentation is required.
