Quick Detail

Description

The 330101-01-29-10-01-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe is a high-precision eddy current sensing component engineered by Bently Nevada, designed to deliver exceptional accuracy and durability for critical industrial machinery condition monitoring. As a core part of the 3300 XL transducer system, this proximity probe integrates patented TipLoc molding technology that reinforces the bond between the probe tip and body, ensuring structural integrity even in high-vibration, harsh industrial environments. Equipped with a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector and 1.0-meter (3.3 feet) standard cable, the 330101-01-29-10-01-05 probe features the innovative CableLoc design that boosts cable pull strength to 330 N (75 lbf), preventing cable disconnection during long-term operation and ensuring uninterrupted data transmission for shaft displacement, vibration, and Keyphasor reference measurements.

This 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe boasts a compact structural design with an unthreaded length of 0.1 in, overall case length of 2.9 in, dimensions of 1.5×1.3×117 cm, and a lightweight of 0.08 kg, making it ideal for space-constrained installation scenarios in rotating machinery such as turbines, motors, and pumps. Constructed with a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) probe tip and AISI 303/304 stainless steel (SST) case, the probe exhibits superior resistance to chemical corrosion, mechanical abrasion, and extreme temperatures ranging from -55°C to +175°C (-60°F to +345°F), ensuring stable performance in challenging operating conditions like petrochemical refineries, power generation plants, and offshore drilling platforms. For applications exposed to oils, coolants, or other liquids, the optional FluidLoc cable provides an additional protective barrier, preventing fluid leakage through the cable interior and maintaining measurement accuracy even in fluid-rich environments.

Applications

The 330101-01-29-10-01-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe is a core component for high-precision rotating machinery condition monitoring, widely deployed in power generation plants, steel mills, and manufacturing facilities to monitor the operational status of turbines, motors, and centrifugal pumps. With its 2 mm linear measurement range and high sensitivity, the probe accurately captures shaft displacement, vibration amplitude, and rotational speed data, enabling maintenance teams to detect potential faults such as rotor unbalance, shaft misalignment, and bearing wear at an early stage, thus preventing costly equipment breakdowns and unplanned production downtime. Its compact size and lightweight design make it suitable for installation in narrow spaces where traditional sensors cannot fit, expanding the scope of machinery condition monitoring.

This proximity probe excels in harsh and hazardous industrial environments, leveraging its CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications to ensure safe operation in flammable gas, vapor, or dust-rich settings such as petrochemical refineries, offshore drilling rigs, and coal mines. Constructed with a corrosion-resistant AISI 303/304 stainless steel case and chemical-resistant PPS probe tip, it withstands exposure to corrosive chemicals, high humidity, and extreme temperatures ranging from -55°C to +175°C, maintaining stable performance even in the most demanding operating conditions. For applications involving oil, coolant, or other liquid contaminants, the optional FluidLoc cable prevents fluid leakage through the cable, ensuring measurement accuracy and probe longevity in fluid-intensive industrial processes.

The 330101-01-29-10-01-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe serves as a cost-effective upgrade solution for legacy machinery monitoring systems, thanks to its seamless interchangeability with 3300 XL series extension cables and Proximitor sensors, as well as backward compatibility with non-XL 3300 components. It is extensively used in automotive manufacturing plants, aerospace ground support facilities, and marine engineering projects to upgrade existing monitoring setups without replacing the entire system, protecting users’ initial capital investments. Its miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector enables fast, secure installation and disassembly, reducing maintenance time and labor costs, while its reliable signal transmission ensures consistent data support for predictive maintenance programs that optimize equipment operational efficiency and extend service life.

Specifications

Competitive Advantage

The 330101-01-29-10-01-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe integrates Bently Nevada’s proprietary TipLoc and CableLoc technologies, which strengthen the probe tip-body bond and cable connection respectively. With a cable pull strength of 330 N (75 lbf), it effectively prevents cable disconnection during high-vibration operation, a common failure point of conventional proximity probes. The optional FluidLoc cable further provides fluid leakage protection, making the probe far more adaptable to fluid-rich industrial environments than standard models, significantly extending service life and reducing maintenance frequency.

Unlike generic proximity probes that lack international hazardous area certifications, this product is approved by CSA, ATEX, and IECEx, complying with the strictest explosion-proof standards across North America, Europe, and global markets. It can be directly deployed in flammable gas, vapor, and dust-laden environments without additional protective modifications, eliminating compliance risks and extra costs associated with secondary safety measures. Competing products often require third-party certification or custom enclosures for hazardous area use, leading to longer lead times and higher operational expenses.

Equipped with a 2 mm linear measurement range, 45 Ω output resistance, and supply sensitivity of less than 2 mV/V, the probe delivers ultra-precise data for monitoring shaft displacement and vibration, enabling early detection of subtle machinery faults such as rotor misalignment and bearing wear. Its PPS probe tip and AISI 303/304 stainless steel case ensure stable performance across an extreme temperature range of -55°C to +175°C, outperforming conventional probes with narrower temperature tolerances that experience accuracy degradation in harsh thermal conditions.
