Quick Detail

Description

The 330101-16-28-10-12-05 model is a premier 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe from the esteemed Bently Nevada portfolio, representing the pinnacle of eddy current proximity transducer technology for industrial condition monitoring. This high-precision sensor is engineered to deliver an exceptionally reliable voltage output that is linearly proportional to the gap between its probe tip and a conductive target surface. It is specifically designed to perform critical vibration measurement and position measurement on rotating machinery equipped with fluid-film bearings, providing indispensable data for both operational assessment and predictive maintenance strategies. Complying rigorously with the American Petroleum Institute (API) 670 Standard, this Bently Nevada probe ensures superior performance in terms of mechanical robustness, measurement accuracy, and long-term stability, making it an industry benchmark for machinery protection systems.

A key feature of this 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe is its advanced system integration capability. The component is fully interchangeable with other elements within the 3300 XL transducer system, including extension cables and Proximitor sensors. This interchangeability eliminates the need for time-consuming individual calibration, streamlining installation and significantly reducing maintenance downtime and associated costs. Furthermore, this specific probe model offers exceptional backward compatibility, allowing it to operate seamlessly with non-XL 3300 series 5 mm and 8 mm system components. This flexibility is invaluable for facility upgrades, enabling the integration of this enhanced XL series probe into existing monitoring infrastructures without necessitating a complete system overhaul.

Applications

This 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe is essential for continuous condition monitoring and protection of critical high-speed rotating equipment. Its primary application is in measuring shaft vibration, axial position, and rpm via Keyphasor signals on turbines, compressors, pumps, and fans supported by fluid-film bearings. The probe's high accuracy and stability provide real-time data crucial for detecting unbalance, misalignment, shaft cracks, and other mechanical faults, enabling predictive maintenance and preventing catastrophic failures in power generation and oil & gas production facilities.

Thanks to its CSA, ATEX, and IECEx Approvals, the probe is uniquely suited for installation in explosive hazardous environments. It is extensively deployed in oil and gas refineries, offshore platforms, chemical plants, and mining operations to monitor machinery operating in the presence of flammable gases or dust. The explosion-proof proximity probe ensures compliance with stringent international safety standards while delivering reliable performance across its wide operating temperature range of -59°C to +175°C, making it a safe and dependable choice for safeguarding assets and personnel in high-risk areas.

The probe's compact physical dimensions, including a 1.6-inch unthreaded length and 2.8-inch overall case length, along with its lightweight design (0.068kg), make it ideal for installations where space is severely constrained. It can be easily mounted in tight bearing housings, gearbox casings, and other machinery cavities. The integrated 1.0-meter cable with a Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector simplifies wiring in complex layouts, ensuring quick, secure connections that resist loosening under vibration, thereby reducing installation time and enhancing long-term reliability in applications from heavy industrial machinery to precision turbo-machinery.

Specifications

Competitive Advantage

1.Certified Robustness for Extreme and Hazardous Environments

This probe distinguishes itself with triple CSA, ATEX, and IECEx Approvals, certifying its safe operation in explosive atmospheres—a critical requirement for the oil & gas and chemical sectors. Beyond safety certifications, it is built to endure extreme conditions, with an operating temperature range from -59°C to +175°C. The combination of a Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) probe tip and an AISI 301 or 304 stainless steel case provides exceptional resistance to corrosion, chemical exposure, and physical wear, ensuring long-term reliability and reduced lifecycle costs in the world's most demanding industrial settings.

2.Optimized Design for Easy Integration and Maintenance

The 3300 XL 8 mm probe offers unparalleled installation flexibility due to its compact form factor and intelligent design. Its specific length options (1.6in unthreaded, 2.8in overall case) allow it to fit into narrow spaces where other sensors cannot. Furthermore, it is engineered for complete interchangeability within the 3300 XL ecosystem and offers backward compatibility with legacy 3300 series components. This eliminates the need for custom calibration or system-wide replacements during upgrades. The factory-integrated cable with the secure ClickLoc connector accelerates installation and prevents connection failures, minimizing downtime and labor expenses.
