Quick Detail

Description

The 330101-00-16-10-02-05 is a premium-grade, intrinsically safe 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe engineered to deliver uncompromising performance in the most regulated and hazardous industrial environments. As a certified member of the renowned 3300 XL platform from Bently Nevada, this advanced eddy current transducer provides precise, non-contact measurement of shaft vibration and axial position, converting minute physical gaps into a highly linear and stable voltage signal. This core functionality makes it an essential component for protecting critical rotating machinery—such as gas turbines, compressors, and high-speed pumps—by enabling early detection of mechanical faults and supporting robust predictive maintenance strategies.

A defining characteristic of this specific Proximity Probe configuration is its comprehensive suite of international safety certifications, including CSA, ATEX, and IECEx Approvals. These certifications authorize its direct installation in Zone 1/2 hazardous locations where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dusts may be present. This pre-certified status eliminates the need for costly and complex external protection methods, offering a plug-and-play safety solution for industries like oil & gas, petrochemicals, and mining. Complementing its safety credentials, the probe features a compact and durable mechanical design with an overall case length of 1.6 inches and an integrated 1.0-meter cable, ensuring easy installation in space-constrained areas while maintaining robustness.

Constructed for longevity, the 330101-00-16-10-02-05 utilizes a Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) probe tip for superior chemical and thermal resistance, housed within a rugged AISI 303/304 stainless steel case.

Applications

The primary application of this probe is continuous vibration and position monitoring on critical rotating equipment within certified hazardous areas, such as compressors and pumps in gas processing plants, turbines on offshore platforms, and machinery in chemical manufacturing facilities. Its pre-approved CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications allow for direct, compliant deployment, eliminating the need for additional protective enclosures and simplifying safety documentation.

Its robust construction and wide operating temperature range (-55°C to +177°C) make it equally suitable for demanding environments beyond hazardous zones. It reliably monitors radial vibration and thrust position in high-temperature applications like steam turbine casings and hot gas paths, as well as in outdoor or cryogenic settings, providing consistent data for condition monitoring regardless of ambient thermal extremes.

Furthermore, the probe’s standard 1.0-meter cable with ClickLoc connector and full compatibility with the 3300 XL system ensures seamless integration into both new installations and legacy monitoring networks. This allows for straightforward retrofits or upgrades on existing machinery across power generation, heavy industry, and marine sectors, enhancing monitoring capabilities without complex re-engineering of the sensor infrastructure.

Specifications

Competitive Advantage

1. Factory-Certified for Global Hazardous Area Deployment

Equipped with CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals, this probe is a pre-qualified, off-the-shelf solution for Zone 1/2 hazardous locations. This significantly reduces project engineering time, compliance costs, and installation complexity compared to using uncertified probes with external protective measures, providing a clear advantage for projects in oil & gas, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals.

2. Optimal Compactness with Certified Durability

The probe achieves an ideal balance between a compact form factor (1.6-inch case) and a robust, certified build. Its PPS tip and stainless steel housing are specifically validated to maintain integrity and performance within its certified temperature and environmental limits, ensuring reliable operation in tight spaces where both size and safety are critical constraints.

3. Guaranteed System Interchangeability and Ease of Use

As a genuine 3300 XL series component, it offers assured plug-and-play compatibility with the entire ecosystem of monitors and cables. This interoperability, combined with the standard ClickLoc connector, streamlines installation, reduces spare part variety, and enables quick replacements, minimizing downtime in critical industrial operations.

4. Enhanced Signal Stability with Robust Electrical Design

Featuring a stable 45 Ω output resistance and low supply sensitivity (<2 mV/V), the probe delivers consistent, high-fidelity signals resistant to electrical noise. This design ensures accurate data transmission for precise machinery diagnostics, a critical advantage for maintaining the integrity of protection systems in electrically noisy industrial environments.
