Description

Technical Overview

The Bently Nevada 330101-00-16-10-02-05 is a high-precision 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe engineered for mission-critical machinery protection and condition monitoring in demanding industrial environments. As part of the industry-leading 3300 XL series, this probe delivers exceptional linearity, thermal stability, and signal integrity—enabling accurate measurement of shaft vibration, axial position, and differential expansion in rotating equipment such as steam turbines, gas compressors, and large motors. Its robust 8 mm diameter stainless steel housing and integral cable design ensure reliable performance under extreme temperatures, high vibration, and corrosive atmospheres commonly found in power generation, oil & gas, and petrochemical facilities.

Designed for seamless integration with Bently Nevada 3300 XL monitoring systems—including the 3300/22M, 3300/25, and 3500 series—the probe operates with a standardized 7–14 VDC supply and delivers a low-impedance, buffered output compatible with standard proximity transducers. Its optimized electromagnetic field minimizes sensitivity to target material variations (e.g., 4140 steel, Inconel), while advanced eddy-current technology ensures sub-micron resolution and repeatability over extended service life. The probe’s fixed 1.0 m integral cable features high-flex, abrasion-resistant Teflon® insulation and is rated for continuous operation up to +125°C ambient temperature, making it ideal for installation in tight, high-heat zones near bearing housings or turbine casings.
