Bently Nevada 330103-00-60-05-02-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe Metric

Reliable Vibration Monitoring with the Bently Nevada 3300 XL Probe

For maintenance engineers, accurate and durable proximity probes are essential for protecting rotating machinery. The Bently Nevada 330103-00-60-05-02-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe delivers the precision and robustness needed for critical asset monitoring. This metric probe is designed for radial vibration and position measurement in harsh industrial environments.

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the 330103-00-60-05-02-05 are listed below for quick reference:

Industry Applications for the 3300 XL Probe

Its PPS tip and stainless steel case resist oil, moisture, and many process chemicals. The 2 mm linear range provides resolution for detecting shaft vibration and axial position changes. The CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals allow installation in hazardous areas, reducing the need for additional barriers in many cases.

Installation and Setup Guidance

When installing the 330103-00-60-05-02-05, ensure the target surface is clean and within the specified runout limits. Use the recommended gap setting of -9 Vdc (approximately 1.27 mm) for radial vibration measurements. Field wiring should use 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (16 to 24 AWG) three-conductor shielded triad cable. Maximum cable length between the probe and monitor is 305 meters (1,000 feet). For extended temperature applications, note the probe tip range of -52°C to +218°C and cable range of -51°C to +260°C.

Maintenance and Reliability

Inspect the probe cable and connector periodically for damage, especially in high-vibration or high-temperature environments. 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 ensures less than 3% change in Average Scale Factor after 56 days at 93% humidity per IEC 68-2-3.

Compatibility and Integration

This probe is part of the Bently Nevada 3300 XL series and is compatible with 3300 XL Proximitor sensors and monitoring systems. The miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector simplifies field installation and replacement. For intrinsically safe installations, use approved zener barriers per drawing 141092 or galvanic isolators. For non-incendive circuits, follow drawing 140979.

Selection Guide and Purchasing Advice

When selecting a replacement or new probe, verify the thread size (M10x1), overall case length (600 mm), and total cable length (0.5 meter). The 330103-00-60-05-02-05 is a metric version without armor. For armored or different length options, consult the full 3300 XL probe family.
