High-Reliability Industrial Sensing for Continuous Machinery Protection
The Bently Nevada 330101-00-76-10-02-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe is a precision-engineered eddy-current sensor designed for accurate, non-contact measurement of shaft vibration, radial displacement, and position in rotating industrial equipment. As part of the globally recognized 3300 XL series, it delivers stable performance, strong noise immunity, and long service life in demanding industrial environments.
This configuration is commonly associated with a 7.6-inch class probe geometry option and a 1.0-meter system cable setup, providing extended mechanical reach and flexible installation for a wide range of turbomachinery applications. It is widely used in condition monitoring systems where continuous measurement accuracy is essential for operational safety and asset protection.
Built with stainless steel housing and a PPS sensing tip, this probe is engineered for durability, corrosion resistance, and consistent performance under harsh operating conditions.
