330141-08-30-01-00 | Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm Probe, 3.0 m

Product Overview: Bently Nevada 330141-08-30-01-00

The Bently Nevada 330141-08-30-01-00 is a 3300 XL 8 mm probe with armor, engineered for precise radial vibration and axial position measurement in rotating machinery. As a maintenance engineer, you need a probe that survives installation and delivers stable data over years of service. This probe addresses both requirements through its 8 mm body and armored construction. The 330141-08-30-01-00 uses a patented TipLoc molding method, which creates a robust bond between the probe tip and body. Consequently, the probe resists mechanical stress better than previous designs.

Key Specifications of the 330141-08-30-01-00

• Total Length: 3.0 meters (option 30)
• Probe Diameter: 8 mm
• Connector: Miniature coaxial ClickLoc with protector
• Armor: Yes, included
• Probe Tip Material: Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS)
• Case Material: AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel
• Nominal DC Resistance: 8.17 ± 0.50 Ω at 3.0 m
• Incremental Scale Factor: 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil) ±5% for 5 or 1 m systems
• Operating Temperature: -52°C to +177°C (standard probe)

The 8 mm probe body provides a thicker encapsulation of the probe coil in molded PPS plastic. This results in a more rugged probe. The larger diameter also provides a stronger, more robust case. Therefore, Bently Nevada recommends 8 mm probes for optimal robustness against physical abuse. The cable incorporates a patented CableLoc design that provides 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength. This securely attaches the probe cable and probe tip. For maintenance engineers, this means fewer cable-related failures and less downtime.

Reliability and Serviceability

From a maintenance perspective, the 330141-08-30-01-00 reduces common failure points. The TipLoc bond prevents tip separation. The CableLoc design resists pull forces that occur during routing and machine assembly. Additionally, the armored cable protects against abrasion in tight spaces. The probe tip uses PPS material, which withstands high temperatures and chemical exposure. The stainless steel case resists corrosion. These features extend service intervals and lower total cost of ownership. When you inspect the probe, check the connector protector for damage. Also verify cable routing to avoid sharp bends. The probe seals differential pressure between tip and case using a Viton O-ring. However, probes are not pressure tested prior to shipment. Therefore, verify sealing integrity during installation.

Applications and Integration

The 330141-08-30-01-00 suits steam turbines, compressors, and pumps. It measures radial vibration and axial position. The 3.0 m length accommodates typical machine-mounted installations. The Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with protector ensures a secure, repeatable connection. This connector simplifies field replacement. Because the probe uses standard 3300 XL interface, it integrates with existing Bently Nevada monitoring systems.
