For the Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm probe, the standard linear range is 2.0 mm (80 mils). A mechanical feeler gauge or the \"Gap Voltage\" method via the Proximitor Sensor output is required. Ensure the locknut is torqued to specification after gapping to prevent drift caused by thermal expansion or machine vibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnvironmental Durability and Sealing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 21000 series housing is designed for extreme durability.
