Bently Nevada 330103-00-18-05-02-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Description

The 330103-00-18-05-02-05 is a 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe featuring an M10 x 1 thread and a 180 mm case length. This non-contact eddy-current transducer is a core component of the 3300 XL 8 mm proximity transducer system, used extensively for monitoring radial vibration and axial position on critical rotating machinery. This specific configuration includes a 0.5 meter (1.6 feet) total probe length, a standard miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector, and holds CSA, ATEX, and IECEx hazardous area approvals.

Designed for consistent performance in industrial environments, the 330103 probe utilizes an M10 x 1 threaded mounting configuration, providing a stable fit in various machine housings. The system requires a compatible 3300 XL Proximitor sensor and extension cable to complete the monitoring chain. The standard cable option (Option 02) ensures reliable signal transmission in general-purpose applications where fluid resistance or specialized armor protection is not required.

Installation Guidelines

Ensure the probe tip is installed in a non-conductive mounting bracket if electrical isolation from the machine casing is required. The 3300 XL system requires the total length of the probe and extension cable to match the calibration length of the Proximitor sensor (e.g., 5-meter or 9-meter systems). Maintain proper probe gap during installation according to the application's required linear range. Use Bently Nevada recommended torque values for M10 threads to prevent casing damage.

Compliance and Certifications

This product is certified for use in hazardous environments under CSA, ATEX, and IECEx standards (Option 05). Always verify that the specific installation meets local regulatory requirements for hazardous area classification.
