High-Stability Vibration Measurement for Critical Rotating Machinery
The Bently Nevada 330101-00-36-05-02-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe is a precision eddy current sensor engineered for continuous, non-contact monitoring of shaft vibration and displacement. As part of the proven 3300 XL proximity transducer system, it delivers stable signal output, strong linear accuracy, and excellent long-term reliability in demanding industrial environments.
The “36” case length configuration (3.6 inches) provides extended mechanical reach, making it suitable for installations requiring deeper probe mounting positions or thicker machinery housings. The “05” cable length (0.5 m / 1.6 ft) and “02-05” configuration typically indicate ClickLoc connector design with standard cable and global approval options for industrial deployment.
