Bently Nevada 330103-00-17-10-02-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Description

Fully threaded M10 x 1 metric probe body with 0 mm unthreaded length (Option 00), 170 mm case length (Option 17), and 1.0 m total length (Option 10) specifies this 330103-00-17-10-02-05 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe. Operating as part of the 3300 XL transducer chain, this proximity probe uses eddy-current technology to measure dynamic and static distance changes between the probe tip and a target, typical of rotating shafts and radial bearing surfaces.

This configuration incorporates standard non-armored FEP insulated coaxial cable with a miniature male ClickLoc coaxial connector (Option 02) and holds CSA, ATEX, and IECEx hazardous area approvals (Option 05). Sibling variations like the 330104 series integrate protective stainless steel armor, whereas other option codes specify different case lengths, unthreaded lengths, or include protective connector boots. The unarmored cable offers maximum flexibility for conduit routing while maintaining standard chemical resistance.

Features

• M10 x 1 metric threaded case without armor for standard installation clearances.
• Option 00 specifies a 0 mm unthreaded length, providing a fully threaded casing.
• Option 17 provides a 170 mm overall case length for deep-thread mounting wells.
• Option 10 specifies a 1.0 meter (3.3 feet) overall probe length.
• Option 02 supplies standard FEP insulated coaxial cable with a miniature ClickLoc connector.
• Option 05 provides CSA, ATEX, and IECEx agency approvals for hazardous locations.

Applications

• Shaft vibration and axial position measurements in rotating machinery.
• Machinery protection systems for steam turbines, gas turbines, and compressors.
• Industrial monitoring under the 3300 XL transducer platform in power generation and petrochemical facilities.

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the coaxial cable shield is isolated from the machine housing/ground.
• Avoid exceeding the maximum thread engagement limit of 15 mm on the M10 x 1 casing thread.
• Set the probe-to-target gap using standard voltage calibration (typically -10 Vdc corresponding to a 1.27 mm or 50 mil nominal gap).
• Protect the miniature coaxial connector from moisture, turbine oil, and other contaminants using high-temperature silicone self-amalgamating tape or standard conduit enclosures.

Compliance and Certifications

• CSA: Intrinsically Safe and Non-Incendive certifications for hazardous areas
• ATEX: Zone 0, Zone 1, and Zone 2 explosive atmosphere applications
• IECEx: International certification matching ATEX intrinsic safety standards
