Bently Nevada 330101-00-12-15-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Probe

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the 330101-00-12-15-02-00 are listed below for quick reference:

Industry Applications for Reliable Measurement

The extended temperature range option (available for probe tip up to +218°C) allows use in hot bearing housings. The 2 mm linear range (80 mils) with incremental scale factor of 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil) provides accurate vibration data for predictive maintenance programs. By catching early signs of shaft rub or imbalance, operators can reduce unplanned downtime and extend machine life.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Mount the probe using the 3/8-24 UNF thread with a recommended torque of 11.2 N•m (100 in•lbf) for standard forward mounting. For the first three threads, use 7.5 N•m (66 in•lbf). Ensure the probe tip is clean and the target surface is smooth. The recommended gap setting for radial vibration is -9 Vdc (approximately 1.27 mm or 50 mils). Field wiring should use 3-conductor shielded triad cable, 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (16 to 24 AWG), with a maximum length of 305 meters (1,000 feet) between the Proximitor and monitor.

Maintenance & Reliability

Inspect the probe cable and connector periodically for damage, especially in high-vibration areas. The Viton® O-ring seals differential pressure; avoid exposing the probe to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F) to prevent premature seal failure. The probe withstands up to 93% humidity with less than 3% change in Average Scale Factor per IEC 68-2-3. For optimal performance, verify the probe's DC resistance (7.73 ± 0.50 Ω for 1.5 m length) during routine checks.

Robust Vibration Monitoring with the Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm Probe

Industrial rotating machinery demands precise, reliable vibration measurement to prevent catastrophic failures. The Bently Nevada 330101-00-12-15-02-00 is a 3300 XL 8 mm probe designed for eddy-current displacement sensing. This probe uses a 3/8-24 UNF thread and is supplied without armor, making it suitable for standard mounting in bearing housings and machine casings. The patented TipLoc molding method ensures a robust bond between the probe tip and body, while the CableLoc design provides 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength for secure cable attachment.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

When selecting a replacement or new probe, confirm the thread size (3/8-24 UNF) and total cable length (1.5 meters). The miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector simplifies installation.
