Robust Vibration Monitoring with the 3300 XL 8 mm Probe
In rotating machinery protection, sensor reliability is non-negotiable. The Bently Nevada 330101-01-39-10-01-05 3300 XL 8 mm probe delivers the ruggedness and precision required for critical asset monitoring. Designed with a thicker encapsulation of the probe coil in molded PPS plastic, this probe offers enhanced durability against physical abuse compared to smaller diameter alternatives.

Industry Applications
Typical applications include:
- Steam and gas turbines: The 2 mm linear range and 7.87 V/mm scale factor provide precise shaft vibration measurement.
- Compressors and pumps: The robust PPS tip and stainless steel case withstand harsh conditions, while the 330 N (75 lbf) CableLoc pull strength ensures reliable cable retention.
- Hydroelectric generators: The optional FluidLoc cable prevents oil leakage through the cable interior, maintaining machine integrity.
Installation & Setup Guidance
When installing the 330101-01-39-10-01-05, follow these engineering best practices:
- Gap setting: For radial vibration, set the recommended gap to -9 Vdc, approximately 1.27 mm (50 mils).
- Field wiring: Use 3-conductor shielded triad cable with tinned wiring, 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (16 to 24 AWG). Maximum cable length between the Proximitor Sensor and monitor is 305 meters (1,000 feet).
- Mounting: The 3/8-24 UNF thread allows secure installation in standard probe mounts. Ensure the probe tip is clean and free of debris before insertion.
Maintenance & Reliability
Regular inspection of the probe and cable is recommended to ensure consistent performance. The probe is designed to seal differential pressure between tip and case using a Viton® O-ring. Avoid exposing the probe to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F) to prevent premature pressure seal failure. The probe's relative humidity tolerance is less than 3% change in Average Scale Factor when tested at 93% humidity per IEC 68-2-3 for up to 56 days.
Compatibility & Integration
This probe is part of the 3300 XL system and is compatible with standard 3300 XL extension cables and Proximitor sensors. The miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector ensures a secure, quick connection.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
When selecting a replacement or new probe, verify the thread size (3/8-24 UNF), unthreaded length (0.1 in), and overall case length (3.9 in). The 330101-01-39-10-01-05 is a standard temperature range probe (-52°C to +177°C). For extended temperature applications, consider the ETR variant.
