Quick Detail

Description

The 330103-00-08-10-12-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probes represent the gold standard in eddy current displacement sensing, specifically engineered by Bently Nevada for high-stakes industrial machinery protection. This 330103-00-08-10-12-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probes system operates by generating a high-frequency electromagnetic field that detects the precise gap between the probe tip and a conductive target. The 330103-00-08-10-12-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probes deliver an output voltage that is directly proportional to this distance, enabling the accurate measurement of both static shaft position and dynamic vibration. This model is configured with an 80 mm overall case length and a 0 mm unthreaded section, providing a fully threaded body for maximum mounting stability in deep-reach machine housings.

A defining technical feature of the 330103-00-08-10-12-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probes is the integrated FluidLoc cable. This specialized cable design prevents process fluids, such as pressurized lubricating oil or coolants, from leaking out of the machine through the interior of the cable. The 330103-00-08-10-12-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probes are constructed using AISI 303/304 stainless steel for the probe case and high-performance Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) for the probe tip, ensuring long-term survival in corrosive and high-temperature environments reaching up to +180°C.

Applications

1.Critical Machinery Vibration Monitoring

The 330103-00-08-10-12-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probes are primarily utilized to monitor radial vibration in high-speed rotating equipment. By tracking the dynamic movement of the shaft within fluid-film bearings, these probes allow for the early detection of imbalances, misalignments, and rotor instabilities in steam turbines, centrifugal compressors, and large motors.

2.Axial Position and Thrust Sensing

In addition to vibration, this probe is essential for measuring axial thrust position. Ensuring that the shaft remains within its intended longitudinal limits is critical for preventing catastrophic contact between rotating and stationary components. The 80 mm case length allows the probe to be mounted through thick bearing caps to reach the internal thrust collars of heavy industrial machinery.

3.Hazardous Area and Sealed Environment Deployment

Thanks to its CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals, the 330103-00-08-10-12-05 is ideally suited for hazardous zones where explosive gases may be present. Furthermore, the FluidLoc cable makes it the application of choice for machinery where oil pressure within the bearing housing might otherwise force lubricants through a standard cable, ensuring a clean and safe exterior environment.

Specifications

Competitive Advantage

1. Advanced FluidLoc Environmental Sealing

Unlike standard proximity sensors, the 330103-00-08-10-12-05 is equipped with a FluidLoc cable. This prevents "wicking," where oil or other liquids travel through the cable strands into the junction box or Proximitor sensor. This feature significantly increases system reliability and reduces the risk of contamination in critical control environments.

2. High-Performance Material Construction

The probe utilizes a high-grade AISI 304 stainless steel housing paired with a PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide) tip. This combination provides exceptional resistance to chemical erosion, mechanical wear, and extreme temperatures (up to +180°C), resulting in a much longer service life compared to generic substitutes in harsh industrial settings.

3. Global Certification and API 670 Compliance

This probe is fully certified for use in explosive atmospheres (ATEX/IECEx/CSA) and adheres strictly to the American Petroleum Institute (API) 670 standard. This ensures that the probe is fully interchangeable with other 3300 XL components and maintains a consistent scale factor, simplifying calibration and global asset management.
