Bently Nevada 330103-00-05-10-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330103-00-05-10-02-00 is a 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe designed for precise shaft vibration and position measurements in rotating machinery. This metric probe features an M10x1 thread, a 50 mm overall case length, and a 1.0 meter cable with a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector. Its Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip and AISI 303/304 stainless steel case ensure durability in demanding conditions. Whether monitoring turbines, compressors, or pumps, this probe delivers reliable performance.

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the 330103-00-05-10-02-00 are listed below for quick reference:

Industry Applications

Turbine Vibration Monitoring

In steam and gas turbines, the 330103-00-05-10-02-00 provides accurate radial vibration measurements. Its 2 mm linear range and -9 Vdc gap setting ensure consistent data for predictive maintenance, reducing unplanned downtime.

Compressor Protection

For centrifugal and reciprocating compressors, this probe’s PPS tip and stainless steel case withstand high temperatures and corrosive atmospheres. The extended temperature range option supports operation up to 218°C at the tip.

Pump Health Assessment

In critical pumps, the probe’s 1.0 m cable and ClickLoc connector simplify installation in tight spaces. The 0.25 to 2.3 mm linear range captures early signs of bearing wear or imbalance.

Installation & Setup Guidance

When installing the 330103-00-05-10-02-00, ensure the probe tip is clean and the target surface is smooth. Use field wiring of 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (16 to 24 AWG) with a 3-conductor shielded triad cable. The maximum field wiring length between the probe and monitor is 305 meters (1,000 feet). For radial vibration, set the gap to approximately -9 Vdc (1.27 mm). Avoid exposing the probe to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F) to prevent pressure seal failure. The maximum thread engagement is 15 mm.

Maintenance & Reliability

Inspect the probe and cable periodically for physical damage or contamination. The probe is designed to seal differential pressure between tip and case using a Viton® O-ring. If the pressure seal is critical for your application, contact our custom design department for testing. Store the probe within -52°C to +177°C when not in use. For high-humidity environments, note that the Average Scale Factor changes less than 3% after 56 days at 93% RH.

Compatibility & Integration

This 3300 XL probe works with Bently Nevada Proximitor sensors and monitoring systems. When used with intrinsically safe zener barriers per drawing 141092 or galvanic isolators, it is suitable for Class I, Zone 0 hazardous areas (AEx/Ex ia IIC T5...T1 Ga). For non-incendive installations per drawing 140979, it meets Class I, Zone 2 requirements (AEx/Ex nA IIC T5...T1 Gc). Always verify compatibility with your existing system.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

When selecting a replacement or new probe, confirm the thread size (M10x1), case length (50 mm), and cable length (1.0 m). The 330103-00-05-10-02-00 is a standard model without armor. For armored versions or different cable lengths, consult the Bently Nevada 3300 XL series options. Please verify current lifecycle status and availability with AutoDCSTech before ordering.
