Product Overview
The Bently Nevada 330101-50-80-10-11-05 is a 3300 XL 8 mm Probe designed for reliable vibration and position monitoring in industrial machinery. This probe features a 3/8-24 UNF thread configuration without armor, making it suitable for a wide range of rotating equipment applications. Built with a patented TipLoc molding method, it provides a robust bond between the probe tip and body, while the CableLoc design delivers 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength for secure cable attachment. The optional FluidLoc cable prevents oil and liquid leakage through the cable interior, enhancing machine integrity.

Industry Applications
The 2 mm linear range and high sensitivity (7.87 V/mm) enable precise detection of shaft displacement, helping prevent catastrophic failures. In oil and gas facilities, the FluidLoc cable option prevents hydrocarbon leaks, aligning with safety regulations. The CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals make it suitable for hazardous environments, reducing compliance risks.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Mount the probe using the 3/8-24 UNF thread into a properly tapped hole. Ensure the target surface is clean and within the recommended gap setting of -9 Vdc (approximately 1.27 mm or 50 mils) for radial vibration. 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 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor and the monitor is 305 meters (1,000 feet). Avoid exposing the probe to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F) to prevent premature pressure seal failure.
Maintenance & Reliability
Inspect the probe and cable periodically for physical damage or wear. The probe’s PPS tip and stainless steel case provide durability in harsh conditions. The FluidLoc cable option reduces oil leakage risks. For extended temperature range probes, the tip withstands up to +218°C (+425°F) while the cable and connector handle up to +260°C (+500°F). The probe’s relative humidity performance shows less than 3% change in Average Scale Factor after 56 days at 93% humidity per IEC 68-2-3.
Compatibility & Integration
This probe integrates with Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximitor Sensors and monitoring systems. The miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector ensures secure, quick connections. The probe is compatible with standard 5 or 1 meter systems and 9 meter systems, with interchangeability error of ±5% and ±6.5% respectively over the linear range.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
When selecting a probe, consider the unthreaded length (5.0 in), overall case length (8.0 in), and total length (1.0 meter) options. The 330101-50-80-10-11-05 includes CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals for hazardous locations. For applications requiring liquid sealing, the FluidLoc cable is essential.
