Precision Vibration Sensing Built for Industrial Reliability
The Bently Nevada 330101-00-35-10-02-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe is a high-performance eddy current sensor designed for continuous, non-contact measurement of shaft vibration and displacement in rotating machinery. As part of the 3300 XL proximity transducer system, it delivers stable signal output, strong linear accuracy, and long-term durability in demanding industrial environments.
The “35” configuration typically corresponds to a 3.5-inch case length, providing a slightly extended mechanical design for installation flexibility in specific machinery setups. The “02-05” coding commonly indicates standard ClickLoc connector/cable configuration with certification/approval options suited for industrial deployment.
