Quick Detail

Description

The 330104-00-12-05-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe is a high-precision eddy current transducer designed for industrial automation applications, providing reliable monitoring of both static and dynamic machine parameters. This probe system converts the displacement between the probe tip and a conductive target surface into a linear output voltage, enabling accurate position measurement as well as vibration detection in complex machinery. Its advanced design ensures precise readings for fluid-film bearings, rotors, and other critical rotating equipment commonly used in manufacturing and process automation.

The 3300 XL 8 mm system is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of automation environments. It complies fully with the API 670 standard, offering superior accuracy, linearity, and thermal stability, which makes it ideal for predictive maintenance, machinery protection, and process control systems. Each 330104-00-12-05-02-00 probe integrates seamlessly with Proximitor sensors and extension cables from the same 3300 XL series, ensuring component interchangeability without requiring individual calibration. This feature minimizes downtime during maintenance and simplifies inventory management in industrial automation setups.

Enhanced mechanical and electrical reliability is a key competitive advantage of this probe. The probe tip is secured using a patented TipLoc molding process, creating a durable bond between the tip and the body, while the probe cable uses CableLoc technology with a pull strength of 330 N (75 lbf), ensuring secure connections even in high-vibration environments. Additionally, the 330104-00-12-05-02-00 probe supports an optional FluidLoc cable design, which prevents oil or other liquids from penetrating the probe assembly, maintaining consistent performance in harsh industrial conditions.

The backward compatibility of the 3300 XL 8 mm probes with older 3300 series components allows flexible deployment across different machines without replacing existing systems. This makes the 330104-00-12-05-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe an ideal choice for automation engineers seeking a reliable, high-accuracy, and maintenance-friendly solution for continuous vibration monitoring, position sensing, and speed reference measurements. With its robust construction, API compliance, and advanced probe-cable integration, this probe is tailored for modern industrial automation applications requiring precise, long-term performance.

Applications

The 330104-00-12-05-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe is designed for high-precision position and vibration monitoring in industrial automation and rotating machinery applications. Its ability to provide a linear output voltage proportional to the distance between the probe tip and a conductive target makes it ideal for both static and dynamic measurements.

Vibration and Condition Monitoring

This probe is extensively used for vibration measurements on fluid-film bearing machines, helping engineers monitor rotor stability, detect early signs of misalignment, and prevent machinery failures. Its recommended radial vibration gap setting and high linear accuracy enable precise measurement of small displacements, making it suitable for predictive maintenance and condition monitoring in high-speed rotating equipment.

Position Sensing and Keyphasor Applications

The 3300 XL 8 mm probe provides accurate shaft position sensing and can be used to generate Keyphasor reference signals for speed and phase measurements. This capability is critical for turbine, generator, and pump monitoring systems, where precise rotational timing is required for automated control and safety systems.

Industrial Automation and Process Control

With its robust construction—including AISI 303/304 stainless steel housing and PPS probe tip material—the probe operates reliably under extreme temperatures (-52°C to +177°C / -62°F to +350°F) and harsh industrial environments. Its compatibility with Proximitor sensors and extension cables ensures seamless integration into existing automation systems, supporting machine diagnostics, process control, and operational efficiency.

Optional Fluid Protection

The probe can be equipped with the optional FluidLoc cable, preventing oil or other liquids from leaking through the cable interior. This feature makes it particularly suitable for oil-lubricated machinery and environments where contamination control is critical.

Interchangeability and Flexibility

All 3300 XL 8 mm probes, including the 330104-00-12-05-02-00 model, maintain backward compatibility with non-XL 3300 series probes. This allows engineers to upgrade or replace components without extensive recalibration, offering flexibility in system maintenance and reducing downtime in automated facilities.

In summary, the 330104-00-12-05-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe is an advanced solution for precision vibration and position measurement, Keyphasor speed sensing, and industrial automation applications, providing reliability, interchangeability, and high performance across challenging operating environments.
