Description
Engineered for critical machinery protection, the 330104-00-12-10-02-CN is an armored proximity probe belonging to the industry-standard Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm series. This transducer system utilizes eddy current technology to provide highly accurate static (position) and dynamic (vibration) measurements on rotating shaft machinery. By generating a continuous radio frequency field, the probe measures the physical gap between the probe tip and a conductive target, such as a turbine shaft.
This specific configuration features an M10 x 1 metric thread with stainless steel armor for robust mechanical protection in demanding industrial environments. Equipped with a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector, it ensures secure coupling and signal integrity with the corresponding extension cable and Proximitor sensor.
Features
- Integral stainless steel armor provides exceptional resistance to abrasion, crushing, and physical damage in harsh operating environments.
- Features the miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector to resist loose connections and maintain high-fidelity signal transmission.
- Compatible with standard 3300 XL 8 mm Proximitor Sensors and extension cables.
- Fully compliant with hazardous area requirements under European, international, and Chinese regulatory bodies.
Applications
- Turbine shaft vibration and axial position monitoring in power generation facilities.
- Radial fluid-film bearing shaft displacement measurements in high-speed compressors.
- Critical rotating asset protection across oil and gas, petrochemical, and water treatment industries.

Installation Guidelines
-
Probe Clearance: Ensure adequate side clearance around the probe tip to prevent cross-talk and side-loading errors caused by adjacent metal objects.
-
Cable Routing: Secure the armored cable using appropriate clamps to prevent mechanical fatigue and whipping in high-vibration areas.
-
Grounding: Ensure the coaxial shield is isolated from the machine ground at the probe side, maintaining a single-point ground connection at the Proximitor sensor terminal block.
-
Torque Limits: Do not exceed the maximum installation torque specification for the M10 x 1 threaded body to avoid damaging the sensor assembly.
