Bently Nevada 330103-03-12-05-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Industry Applications for the 3300 XL Probe

The 2 mm linear range and -9 Vdc recommended gap setting provide consistent, repeatable measurements for early fault detection. The PPS tip and stainless steel case withstand high temperatures and corrosive environments, making the 330103-03-12-05-02-00 suitable for refineries, power plants, and chemical processing facilities.

Installation and Setup Guidance

When installing the 3300 XL probe, ensure the M10x1 thread engages no more than 15 mm into the mounting boss. Use the recommended torque of 11.2 N•m (100 in•lbf) for standard forward mounting, or 7.5 N•m (66 in•lbf) for the first three threads. Field wiring should use 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (16 to 24 AWG) three-conductor shielded triad cable, with a maximum length of 305 meters (1,000 feet) between the probe and monitor. Always verify the gap setting at -9 Vdc for radial vibration applications.

Maintenance and Reliability

Inspect the probe and cable periodically for physical damage, especially near the connector and tip. The probe is designed to seal differential pressure using a Viton O-ring, but it is not pressure tested before shipment. Avoid exposing the probe to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F) to prevent premature pressure seal failure. For extended temperature ranges, the probe tip can operate up to +218°C (+425°F), while the cable and connector handle up to +260°C (+500°F).

Reliable Vibration Monitoring with the Bently Nevada 3300 XL Probe

For maintenance engineers, accurate vibration measurement is critical to preventing unplanned downtime. The Bently Nevada 330103-03-12-05-02-00 is a 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe designed for precise shaft displacement and vibration monitoring in rotating machinery. This probe offers a robust solution for harsh industrial environments, ensuring you catch issues before they escalate.
