Quick Detail

Description

The 330103-00-03-05-02-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe is a premium-grade, fully integrated eddy current transducer designed for high-precision vibration and displacement monitoring in the most demanding industrial environments. As a critical component of the globally trusted Bently Nevada 3300 XL monitoring system, this proximity probe is engineered to deliver uncompromising accuracy in measuring shaft radial vibration, axial thrust position, and dynamic runout on essential rotating machinery. This specific configuration, defined by its 8 mm diameter and key options like -03- for a 50 mm overall case length with 0 mm unthreaded length, provides an optimized form factor for installations where space is at a premium within bearing housings and gearbox casings.

A standout feature of this model is its exceptional 9.0-meter (29.5-foot) integrated standard cable. This significant pre-attached length offers a major competitive advantage by drastically reducing or eliminating the need for separate extension cables in vast majority of applications. This not only simplifies system design and lowers total installed cost by minimizing connection points but also enhances long-term reliability by reducing potential signal integrity issues associated with field-spliced connections. The cable is terminated with a robust miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector, ensuring a secure, vibration-resistant link to monitoring systems that prevents accidental disconnection.

Manufactured to the highest standards, this 3300 XL probe is built for durability and certified for safety. Its housing is constructed from AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel, and the sensing tip utilizes Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), providing excellent resistance to corrosion, oils, and industrial chemicals. Critically, the probe arrives with full CSA, ATEX, and IECEx Approvals, making it a pre-certified, off-the-shelf solution for immediate deployment in hazardous areas (Zone 1/2) found in refineries, offshore platforms, and chemical plants.

Applications

This probe is ideally deployed for monitoring critical parameters on large, high-value assets such as steam turbines, gas turbines, and centrifugal compressors in power generation and oil & gas sectors. Its 9.0-meter integrated cable is particularly advantageous in these settings, where the distance from the turbine bearing pedestal to the remote monitoring rack in the control room can be substantial. This long, factory-integrated cable ensures signal integrity over the entire run without the need for intermediate junction boxes, providing a clean and reliable data path for vibration and position monitoring.

Certified with CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals, this probe is expressly designed for safe and compliant operation in classified hazardous locations. It is a standard choice for installation on process gas compressors, offshore platform machinery, and within refinery units where flammable atmospheres may exist. The probe's robust stainless steel and PPS construction ensures it withstands exposure to hydrocarbons, salt spray, and process chemicals, delivering reliable performance for essential protection functions like radial vibration monitoring and Keyphasor signal generation.

The probe's compact dimensions, specifically the 50 mm overall case length with 0 mm unthreaded, make it exceptionally suited for installations in space-constrained environments. It is perfect for retrofitting into existing machinery with limited access or for use in modern, densely packaged compressor and pump skids. This allows engineers to implement precise shaft position and vibration monitoring on equipment where larger or differently configured probes would be impossible to install without significant mechanical modification.

Specifications

Competitive Advantage

1. Unmatched Installation Simplicity with Extended Integrated Cable

The factory-supplied 9.0-meter (29.5-foot) standard cable is a defining feature that sets this probe apart. It eliminates the procurement, handling, and connection of separate extension cables for the vast majority of installations. This drastically reduces material costs, installation time, and the number of potential failure points in the signal chain, leading to a more reliable system with lower total cost of ownership from day one.

2. Global Hazardous Area Compliance Ex-Factory

Possessing simultaneous CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications, this probe is a globally compliant solution ready for immediate use in Zone 1/2 hazardous areas. This pre-certification removes a significant burden from project engineers, eliminating the delays, additional costs, and administrative complexity associated with obtaining site-specific approvals or designing custom explosion-proof enclosures for standard probes.

3. Optimal Compact Design for Maximum Application Versatility

The specific -03- option delivers a 50 mm overall case length with 0 mm unthreaded length. This creates a sleek, fully threaded probe body that can be screwed directly into a mounting hole until its face is flush with the housing interior, optimizing the initial gap setting. This compact and precise form factor provides unparalleled installation flexibility, allowing it to fit into extremely tight spaces where other sensors cannot, thereby expanding the range of machinery that can be effectively monitored with a high-performance 3300 XL probe.
