Product Overview
From a maintenance engineer's perspective, the Bently Nevada 330103-00-05-05-02-00 is a 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe designed for reliable, non-contact displacement measurement. This metric probe features a Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip and AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel case, ensuring durability in demanding rotating machinery applications. Its 0.5 meter (1.6 feet) total length and miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector simplify installation and reduce signal degradation.

Industry Applications

Installation & Setup Guidance
For reliable measurements, ensure the probe tip is clean and the target surface is smooth. Use 3 conductor shielded triad cable with tinned field wiring, maximum 305 meters (1,000 feet) between the Proximitor Sensor and monitor. Set the initial gap to approximately -9 Vdc (1.27 mm) for radial vibration applications. Avoid exposing the probe to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F) to prevent premature pressure seal failure.
Maintenance & Reliability
Inspect the probe cable and connector periodically for wear or damage. The Viton® O-ring seal maintains differential pressure integrity; do not disassemble the probe. Verify the Average Scale Factor (ASF) remains stable; humidity testing shows less than 3% change after 56 days at 93% relative humidity. Replace the probe if resistance deviates from 7.45 ± 0.50 Ω at 1.0 m length.
Compatibility & Integration
This probe works with Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximitor Sensors and compatible monitoring systems. For intrinsically safe installations, use zener barriers per drawing 141092 or galvanic isolators. For non-incendive circuits, follow drawing 140979. Always verify agency approvals for your area classification.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
When selecting a replacement, confirm the thread size (M10x1), overall length (50 mm), and total cable length (0.5 m). The 330103-00-05-05-02-00 is a standard temperature probe; for extended range up to +218°C tip, choose the extended temperature option.
