Bently Nevada 330103 3300 XL Metric Proximity Probe

Description

330103-00-06-15-02-05 specifies a 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe configuration utilizing M10 x 1 metric threads without armor, defined by a 60 mm fully threaded case length (0 mm unthreaded length), 1.5-meter total cable length, standard coaxial ClickLoc connector, and CSA/ATEX/IECEx hazardous area certification.

This unarmored metric configuration is engineered for standard industrial installations requiring high-precision non-contact eddy-current shaft vibration and position measurements. Unlike its armored counterpart (the 330104 series) or variants equipped with integrated connector protectors (Option 01), this specific configuration utilizes a standard 1.5-meter coaxial cable with a bare ClickLoc connector (Option 02) to simplify routing through tight conduits or internal machine housings where mechanical abrasion protection is not required.

Features

• Metric thread configuration: M10 x 1 thread pitch on an unarmored probe body.
• Case dimensions: 60 mm overall case length (Option 06) with 0 mm unthreaded body (Option 00).
• Total length option 15: 1.5-meter (4.9 feet) integrated FEP-insulated probe cable.
• Connection type option 02: Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector provides a secure, snap-lock junction with standard extension cables.
• Hazardous area certification: Option 05 qualifies the probe under CSA, ATEX, and IECEx standards for intrinsically safe and non-incendive environments.

Applications

• Radial shaft vibration measurement on high-speed industrial rotating machinery
• Axial thrust position tracking in turbines, compressors, and pumps
• Phase reference (Keyphasor) and speed sensing applications
• Continuous condition monitoring on critical oil and gas, power generation, and petrochemical assets

Installation Guidelines

Optimal proximity probe installation is essential for accurate machinery protection and condition monitoring. Observe the following guidelines for metric M10 x 1 probes:

• Maintain a minimum cable bend radius of 25.4 mm (1.0 inch) to prevent internal coaxial damage.
• Ensure the maximum thread engagement length does not exceed 15 mm to avoid thread binding.
• Connectors should be kept dry and free of oil or contaminants. Hand-tighten ClickLoc connectors to achieve a snug connection; do not use pliers on gold click connectors unless adapting to non-XL components.
• Shielded field wiring should be used to connect the Proximitor sensor to the monitoring rack system, keeping the shields isolated from machinery ground unless specified.

Compliance and Certifications

The 330103-00-06-15-02-05 proximity probe complies with major international standards for industrial machinery environments:

• Hazardous Area Approvals (Option 05): Certified for intrinsically safe (Ex ia IIC) and non-incendive/ec (Ex nA/Ex ec IIC) applications under CSA, ATEX, and IECEx directives.
• Environmental Protection: Tip and case sealing materials provide excellent resistance to typical industrial lubricants, solvents, and environmental humidity.
