High-Reliability Shaft Vibration Monitoring for Critical Industrial Assets
The Bently Nevada 330101-00-36-10-01-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe is a precision eddy current sensor designed for continuous, non-contact measurement of shaft vibration and displacement in rotating machinery. As part of the widely adopted 3300 XL proximity transducer system, it delivers stable signal output, high linear accuracy, and strong long-term stability in demanding industrial environments.
The “36” configuration (3.6-inch case length) provides extended mechanical reach for installations where deeper probe insertion is required. The “10-01-00” coding typically represents a 1.0 m cable length, ClickLoc connector configuration, and standard approval option used in general industrial deployments.
