Introduction
The Bently Nevada 330180-X0-00 145004-113 is a 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor used in 5 mm and 8 mm non-contact proximity measurement systems. It is designed to work with a compatible proximity probe and extension cable, providing an electrical output proportional to changes in the distance between the probe tip and the monitored shaft.
This configuration uses a panel-mount, 5 m system arrangement, making it a practical fit for machinery-monitoring cabinets where the Proximitor Sensor is installed near the associated field instrumentation. The 330180-X0-00 is identified in industrial equipment listings as a 3300 XL Proximitor compatible with 5 mm and 8 mm probes and intended for panel mounting.
For rotating machinery, direct shaft measurements can provide valuable information about rotor movement that may not be visible through casing vibration alone. Typical applications include turbines, compressors, pumps, motors, generators, and other critical rotating equipment.
The 145004-113 identification is included here as an additional product identifier. When replacing installed equipment, checking both the principal part number and the additional identification on the existing unit is a sensible way to avoid selecting an incorrectly configured Proximitor Sensor.
Technical Specifications
The 330180-X0-00 is the Proximitor Sensor component within the proximity transducer system. The probe and extension cable are separate components and should be matched to the sensor and required system length.

Applications
Steam and Gas Turbines
The 330180-X0-00 can be integrated into turbine shaft-monitoring systems where continuous measurement of rotor vibration and position is important. Direct shaft measurements can provide useful information during startup, normal operation, load changes, and shutdown.
Compressor Monitoring
Centrifugal and process compressors can benefit from proximity measurements because rotor movement may change as imbalance, alignment, bearing, or operating conditions develop.
Pumps and Motors
For industrial pumps and motors, shaft vibration measurements can complement conventional machine-monitoring channels and provide another view of mechanical condition.
Generator Applications
Generators and other rotating electrical machines can use shaft-position and vibration signals as part of a broader machinery-protection and condition-monitoring arrangement.
Fluid-Film Bearing Machinery
Proximity transducers are particularly useful on machines using fluid-film bearings because measuring shaft movement directly can provide important information about rotor behavior inside the bearing system.
Speed and Keyphasor Measurement
When correctly configured, the proximity system can also provide a rotational reference or speed signal for monitoring and analysis equipment.
Advantages
Compact 5-Meter System
The 330180-X0-00 is configured for a 5 m system length, offering a practical solution when the Proximitor Sensor does not need to be positioned far from the machine-side sensing point.
Panel-Mount Installation
The panel-mount format makes this model suitable for conventional instrumentation cabinets and existing machinery-monitoring panels. This can simplify replacement work when the original installation already uses a similar mounting arrangement.
Non-Contact Technology
The associated proximity probe measures shaft movement without contacting the rotating surface. This eliminates mechanical wear at the sensing interface and makes the technology well suited to high-speed rotating machinery.
5 mm and 8 mm Probe Compatibility
The 330180-X0-00 is identified as compatible with 3300 / 3300 XL 5 mm and 8 mm probes.
This gives maintenance teams greater flexibility when servicing established proximity-monitoring installations, provided the complete system remains within its specified configuration.
Proven 3300 XL Architecture
The modular arrangement of probe, extension cable, and Proximitor Sensor makes troubleshooting and replacement more manageable. Individual components can be addressed without automatically redesigning the entire monitoring channel.
Suitable for Critical Machinery
The system provides direct shaft-motion information that can support vibration monitoring, machinery protection, alarm functions, trending, and condition-based maintenance strategies.
Useful Retrofit Option
For facilities maintaining existing 3300-series or 3300 XL proximity systems, the 330180-X0-00 can be a convenient replacement candidate when the system length, mounting, probe, cable, and electrical requirements match.
Technical FAQs
1. What is the Bently Nevada 330180-X0-00 145004-113?
It is a 3300 XL 5/8 mm Proximitor Sensor used with a compatible proximity probe and extension cable for non-contact measurement of rotating-shaft vibration and position.
2. What is 145004-113?
145004-113 is provided as an additional identification associated with this product listing. When replacing an installed unit, it is recommended to compare the complete marking on the existing sensor rather than relying only on the general 330180-X0-00 family number.
3. Is this component the actual 8 mm proximity probe?
No. The 330180-X0-00 is the Proximitor Sensor. The 8 mm proximity probe is installed separately at the monitored shaft and connects to the Proximitor Sensor through the appropriate extension cable.
4. What mounting configuration does the X0 model use?
The X0 configuration is a panel-mount arrangement associated with a 5 m system length. This distinguishes it from other 3300 XL configurations intended for different system lengths or mounting methods.
5. What is the output scale of the 3300 XL 5/8 mm system?
Applicable 3300 XL 5/8 mm configurations use a nominal scale factor of approximately 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil). The exact performance should be evaluated against the complete probe, cable, sensor, target material, and gap configuration.
6. What is the typical weight?
The Proximitor Sensor itself weighs approximately 246 g (8.67 oz). A complete transducer system is typically around 0.7 kg, although the actual value varies according to the probe and extension-cable configuration.
7. What are the dimensions?
The sensor housing is approximately 84–89 mm high, depending on the dimensional reference used for the mounting configuration. Cabinet design should provide additional clearance for connectors, wiring, and maintenance access.
8. Can it be used with an existing 8 mm probe?
Yes, the 330180-X0-00 is identified as compatible with appropriate 3300 and 3300 XL 5 mm and 8 mm probes. However, the complete transducer system should be checked before combining components from different configurations.
9. Is the 330180-X0-00 intended for panel mounting?
Yes. Product descriptions identify the model as a 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor with panel mounting and 5/8 mm probe compatibility.
10. What should be verified before purchasing a replacement?
Check the complete installed configuration, including the 330180-X0-00 part number, 145004-113 identification, system length, mounting method, probe diameter, extension-cable length, power requirements, monitoring-system interface, and any site-specific certification requirements. This is especially important when the sensor is part of a machinery protection channel.
