Engineering Precision for Demanding Rotating Machinery Environments
The Bently Nevada 330101-05-30-10-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe is a high-reliability eddy-current sensor designed for continuous, non-contact measurement of shaft vibration, radial displacement, and position in industrial rotating equipment. As part of the proven 3300 XL series, it delivers stable signal performance, excellent linearity, and long operational life in harsh industrial environments.
This configuration (…05-30-10-02-00) is typically defined by a 0.5-inch unthreaded length, 3.0-inch probe case length, 1.0-meter system cable, ClickLoc connector, and standard non-certified configuration option, making it a widely used general-purpose variant for turbomachinery monitoring systems. It is commonly selected where dependable performance and standard installation geometry are required without additional compliance options.
Built with stainless steel housing and a PPS sensing tip, it is engineered to maintain accuracy under high vibration, temperature variation, and continuous-duty industrial operation.
