Bently Nevada 330101-00-96-05-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Probe, 3/8-24 UNF Thread

330101-00-96-05-02-00: An Unarmored 0.5 m 3300 XL 8 mm Probe

The two things to establish about this variant before specifying it are the 0.5 m total length and the absence of armor on the cable. Both come out of the part number: 96 in the case-length position gives the shorter assembly used when the junction box sits close to the probe, and the 00 approval position marks it as a standard configuration without armor. Where a machine has a short, well-protected cable route, this variant is the right pick — you are not paying for armor length you will coil up inside the cabinet.

Signal performance is identical to the rest of the 330101 platform: 2 mm linear range and 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil) incremental scale factor. Because the scale factor matches, a monitor configured for another 330101 probe reads this one without scaling changes.

Where This Variant Sits Against the Other 330101-00-84 Configurations

The 330101-00-84 case-length position has three configurations in the catalog. They share case geometry and differ in cable length, connector and approval:

Steam Turbine and Compressor Monitoring Use

On steam turbines the 2 mm linear range and 7.87 V/mm scale factor let operators detect early imbalance and misalignment before they develop into bearing damage. On centrifugal compressors in petrochemical service, the PPS tip and AISI 303/304 stainless steel case tolerate the process temperature profile while the unarmored cable is acceptable inside a protected conduit run.

Gap Voltage and Positioning

Set the recommended gap to -9 Vdc — approximately 1.27 mm (50 mils) — for radial vibration monitoring. The probe seals differential pressure between tip and case with a Viton O-ring, so do not disassemble it in the field; replace the probe if the seal is suspect. Erratic readings usually trace to cable or connector damage at the ClickLoc interface, debris on the tip, or a gap voltage outside the recommended range — check those three before condemning the probe.

Connector and Integration

The miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector locks by rotation and does not require a torque wrench. The probe works with 3300 XL monitors and Proximitor sensor wiring. Because this variant is unarmored, confirm the existing cable run is inside a conduit or protected raceway before using it in an area where the armored variants were previously specified.

Ordering Notes

Verify thread size (3/8-24 UNF) and the 0.5 m total length match your installation before ordering. If the removed probe has a different case-length position or a different approval suffix, the cross-reference table above identifies the direct substitute within the 330101 family.
