Bently Nevada 330102-08-96-10-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe with Armor

Description

Option 08 (0.8 in unthreaded length) and Option 96 (9.6 in case length) specify this 3300 XL 8 mm probe configuration — 330102-08-96-10-02-00. This 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe features integrated stainless steel armor, a 3/8-24 UNF thread, a 1.0 m total length, and a ClickLoc miniature coaxial connector without a connector protector. It operates as part of an eddy-current transducer system to measure shaft vibration and axial position on rotating machinery.

This specific variant is configured with a 9.6 in case length and 0.8 in unthreaded length, making it suitable for deep-well probe installations or situations requiring a longer physical reach through machine casing walls. The integral armor provides robust mechanical shielding against physical impacts and abrasion in harsh environments. This configuration requires no hazardous area agency approvals (Option 00) and uses standard cable construction instead of fluid-resistant options.

Features

• 3/8-24 UNF threaded steel probe body with integrated protective stainless steel armor.
• 0.8 in unthreaded length paired with a 9.6 in overall case length.
• 1.0 m (3.3 ft) total cable length with standard cable construction.
• Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector (Option 02, no connector protector).
• High resistance to environmental factors, maintaining performance across a wide operating temperature range of -52 degC to +177 degC.
• Pressure sealed up to the probe tip using a Viton O-ring.

Applications

• Shaft vibration and position monitoring in industrial rotating machinery.
• Deep-reach casing installations on steam turbines, gas turbines, or heavy-duty centrifugal compressors.
• Machinery protection systems where armored cables are required to prevent abrasion or cutting during installation and operation.
• Non-hazardous or general-purpose areas requiring standard industrial-grade proximity sensors.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

Ensure the probe gap is set correctly (typically 1.27 mm or 50 mils for standard calibration) prior to final tightening. The 3/8-24 UNF thread has a maximum recommended thread engagement limit of 0.563 in (14.3 mm) to prevent binding. Route the armored cable to avoid sharp bends, keeping the bend radius within the recommended physical tolerances. Connection of the miniature ClickLoc coaxial connector must be made finger-tight.

Compliance and Certifications

This specific configuration (Option 00) is intended for general-purpose, non-hazardous area applications and does not carry intrinsic safety or non-incendive hazardous area certifications.
