Application in Rotating Machinery Protection
The patented TipLoc molding method ensures a robust bond between the probe tip and body, reducing failure risk in high-vibration environments. The CableLoc design provides 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength, preventing cable detachment during operation. For applications where oil leakage through the cable is a concern, the optional FluidLoc cable option is available.

Installation Guidance for Maintenance Teams
When installing the 330101-00-53-05-02-00, ensure the probe tip is clean and the mounting surface is free of debris. The recommended gap setting for radial vibration is -9 Vdc, approximately 1.27 mm (50 mils). Use field wiring of 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (16 to 24 AWG) with a 3-conductor shielded triad cable. Maximum field wiring length between the Proximitor Sensor and monitor is 305 meters (1,000 feet). Avoid exposing the probe to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F) to prevent premature pressure seal failure.
Reliability-Focused Vibration Monitoring with the Bently Nevada 330101-00-53-05-02-00
For maintenance engineers, consistent uptime depends on precise, rugged sensing. The Bently Nevada 330101-00-53-05-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Probe delivers the robust performance needed for critical machinery protection. This probe is designed to withstand harsh conditions while providing accurate displacement measurements.

Maintenance and Reliability Considerations
The probe case is constructed from AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel, offering corrosion resistance in industrial environments. The PPS probe tip provides chemical resistance and thermal stability. The probe is designed to seal differential pressure between the tip and case using a Viton® O-ring. Although probes are not pressure tested before shipment, the design supports reliable operation under normal conditions. For applications requiring pressure seal testing, contact the custom design department.
Compatibility and Integration
This probe is part of the 3300 XL series and is designed for use with compatible Bently Nevada Proximitor sensors and monitoring systems. The miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector simplifies installation and ensures a secure connection. The standard cable length of 0.5 meter (1.6 feet) is suitable for close-coupled installations.
Selection Guide and Purchasing Advice
When selecting a replacement or new probe, verify the thread type (3/8-24 UNF) and overall length requirements. The 330101-00-53-05-02-00 is made in the U.S.A. and reflects Bently Nevada's commitment to quality. AutoDCSTech offers this probe for your critical machinery protection needs.
