Quick Detail

Description

The 330103-00-16-10-12-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe is a high-precision eddy current transducer engineered and manufactured by Bently Nevada in the USA, dedicated to non-contact measurement of static position and dynamic vibration for critical rotating machinery across oil & gas, power generation, and heavy manufacturing sectors. As a core member of the industry-leading 3300 XL product line, this proximity probe combines strict API 670 compliance, seamless cross-series compatibility, and robust environmental resilience to deliver reliable, high-fidelity data for predictive maintenance and machinery protection. Boasting a 0 mm unthreaded length and 160 mm overall case length, the 330103-00-16-10-12-05 proximity probe features a streamlined structure with dimensions of 116x1.8x1.8cm and a lightweight 0.1kg build, enabling flexible installation in tight bearing housings, large turbine compartments, and densely packed equipment racks without requiring costly machinery modifications.

Equipped with a 1.0-meter (3.3 feet) standard cable terminated with a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector and connector protector, the 330103-00-16-10-12-05 proximity probe ensures plug-and-play integration with Bently Nevada’s 3300 XL Proximitor monitor modules and extension cables, as well as backward compatibility with non-XL 3300 series 5 mm and 8 mm probes. This cross-compatibility protects existing infrastructure investments while unlocking the advanced performance of the XL platform, eliminating the need for time-consuming bench calibration or component matching during system upgrades. At the heart of its functionality, the probe generates a stable linear voltage signal proportional to the gap between its Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip and conductive target surfaces, with a 2 mm (80 mils) linear range, 50 Ω output resistance, and supply sensitivity of less than 2 mV change per volt input—ensuring precise detection of rotor imbalance, shaft misalignment, and bearing wear that could lead to unplanned downtime.

Applications

The 330103-00-16-10-12-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe is primarily deployed for continuous condition monitoring of large-scale rotating equipment, including steam turbines, centrifugal compressors, and fluid-film bearing pumps in power generation and oil & gas facilities. Its 2 mm linear range and high measurement precision enable accurate detection of radial vibration and axial shaft displacement, providing maintenance teams with actionable data to identify potential faults early and avoid costly production interruptions.

Thanks to its CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications, this proximity probe is ideally suited for signal acquisition in hazardous industrial environments such as offshore oil platforms, refinery processing units, and chemical plants with Zone 1/2 explosive atmospheres. Its rugged stainless steel case and PPS probe tip resist corrosion and chemical exposure, eliminating the need for additional protective enclosures and reducing on-site installation costs.

The 330103-00-16-10-12-05 proximity probe serves as a versatile upgrade component for legacy 3300 series monitoring systems, offering seamless backward compatibility with non-XL 5 mm and 8 mm probes. Its 1.0-meter integrated cable with ClickLoc connector simplifies retrofitting workflows in existing production lines, allowing plant operators to enhance monitoring accuracy without overhauling their entire machinery protection infrastructure, which is particularly valuable for facilities aiming to implement predictive maintenance strategies on a limited budget.

Specifications

Competitive Advantage

1.API 670 Compliance for Critical Industrial Applications

Adhering strictly to the American Petroleum Institute (API) 670 Standard for machinery protection systems, the probe meets rigorous requirements for mechanical design, measurement accuracy, and temperature stability. This compliance makes it a trusted choice for oil & gas, power generation, and heavy manufacturing sectors where adherence to industry standards is mandatory for operational safety and regulatory approval.

2.Seamless Cross-Series Compatibility for Cost-Effective Upgrades

The probe supports full interchangeability with Bently Nevada’s 3300 XL series components and backward compatibility with non-XL 3300 series 5 mm and 8 mm probes. This versatility eliminates the need for complete system overhauls during upgrades, protects existing infrastructure investments, and streamlines installation and maintenance workflows for plant operators.

3.Robust Construction for Extreme Environment Durability

Constructed with an AISI 303/304 stainless steel case and Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) probe tip, the probe delivers exceptional resistance to corrosion, oil contamination, and mechanical wear. Its wide operating temperature range of -52°C to +175°C ensures stable performance in both cryogenic and high-heat industrial settings, outperforming conventional probes with narrower temperature tolerances and reducing long-term maintenance costs.
