Quick Detail

Description

The 330103-00-05-10-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe is a high-precision eddy current transducer designed specifically for industrial automation and machinery monitoring applications. This probe delivers an output voltage that is directly proportional to the distance between the probe tip and the conductive target surface, enabling accurate measurement of both static positions and dynamic vibrations. It is widely used for critical machinery condition monitoring, including fluid-film bearing machines, turbines, compressors, and other rotating equipment.

This 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe excels in applications that require both vibration analysis and Keyphasor reference signals for speed and phase measurement. The probe is engineered to meet the rigorous performance requirements of the American Petroleum Institute’s API 670 Standard, ensuring linearity, temperature stability, and mechanical reliability. With a standard 5-meter cable length, this system offers flexibility in installation while maintaining precise measurement capabilities.

One of the key advantages of the 330103-00-05-10-02-00 probe is its seamless interchangeability with other 3300 series components, including Proximitor sensors and extension cables. This backward compatibility eliminates the need for custom calibration or bench matching, simplifying maintenance and reducing downtime in industrial settings. Additionally, the probe is compatible with smaller 5 mm 3300 series probes, offering versatility for installations with limited mounting space.

The 3300 XL 8 mm probe design incorporates several enhancements over earlier models. A patented TipLoc molding technique strengthens the bond between the probe tip and body, enhancing durability under heavy industrial use. The CableLoc feature in the probe cable provides a pull strength of 330 N (75 lbf), ensuring secure attachment and reliable signal transmission even in high-vibration environments. For machinery operating in oil-rich environments, an optional FluidLoc cable prevents fluid ingress through the cable, protecting internal components and maintaining accurate measurements over time.

In automation and condition monitoring applications, the 330103-00-05-10-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe delivers consistent, high-fidelity performance, making it an essential component for predictive maintenance, process optimization, and machinery reliability programs. Its combination of precision, rugged design, and broad compatibility positions it as a leading choice for engineers seeking reliable industrial proximity sensing solutions.

Applications

The 330103-00-05-10-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe is designed for precise monitoring of both position and vibration in critical rotating machinery. Its primary applications are centered around fluid-film bearing machines, where accurate detection of shaft displacement, radial vibration, and relative position is essential for reliable operation. By providing an output voltage directly proportional to the distance between the probe tip and the monitored conductive surface, these probes support both static (position) and dynamic (vibration) measurements.

In industrial automation and process control, these probes are commonly used for Keyphasor reference signals and speed measurements, which are vital in synchronizing machinery and detecting imbalance, misalignment, or mechanical wear. Their M10 x 1 threaded probe case allows for secure mounting in tight spaces, while the polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) probe tip and stainless steel case ensure robust performance in harsh environments, including high-temperature operations ranging from -52°C to +177°C (-62°F to +350°F).

The 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe system fully supports interchangeability with extension cables and Proximitor sensors, simplifying installation and maintenance in automation systems without requiring individual calibration. This flexibility makes it ideal for integration into API 670-compliant machinery protection systems, where high reliability and accurate vibration monitoring are mandatory. Additionally, the optional FluidLoc cable design enables operation in oil-rich or fluid-exposed environments, preventing leakage through the probe cable and ensuring long-term system integrity.

Overall, the 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe is suited for applications in turbines, compressors, pumps, and generators within industries such as petrochemical, power generation, and heavy manufacturing, where continuous and accurate monitoring of rotating equipment is critical to prevent downtime, reduce maintenance costs, and optimize machine performance.

Specifications

Competitive Advantage

High-Precision Measurement

The 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe delivers an output voltage directly proportional to the distance between the probe tip and the conductive surface, enabling highly accurate position and vibration measurements. With a linear range of 2 mm and minimal supply sensitivity, the system ensures stable and precise readings even under fluctuating operating conditions.

Robust Design for Harsh Environments

Constructed with AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel and a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) probe tip, the 3300 XL probe withstands extreme temperatures from -52°C to +177°C (-62°F to +350°F). Its M10 x 1 threaded case and secure 15 mm thread engagement allow for reliable installation in tight or high-vibration industrial environments.

Interchangeability and Compatibility

All 3300 XL components, including probes, extension cables, and Proximitor sensors, are fully interchangeable, eliminating the need for bench calibration and simplifying system maintenance. Backward compatibility with non-XL 3300 series 5 mm and 8 mm probes ensures seamless integration into existing automation or machinery protection systems.

Enhanced Mechanical Reliability

The patented TipLoc molding secures a strong bond between the probe tip and body, while the CableLoc design ensures a robust 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength for cable attachment. These improvements increase mechanical durability and reduce downtime caused by probe or cable failures.

Optional Fluid Protection

For fluid-exposed applications, the optional FluidLoc cable prevents oil or other liquids from leaking through the cable interior, enhancing system reliability and protecting machinery from potential contamination.

API 670 Standard Compliance

The 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe meets API 670 standards for linear range, accuracy, and temperature stability, making it ideal for integration into critical fluid-film bearing machines, turbines, compressors, and generators in industries such as petrochemical, power generation, and heavy manufacturing.
