High-Precision Eddy Current Monitoring for Critical Industrial Machinery
The Bently Nevada 330101-24-35-10-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe is a robust non-contact eddy-current sensor designed for continuous measurement of shaft vibration, radial displacement, and position in rotating machinery. As part of the widely adopted 3300 XL system, it provides stable signal output, high repeatability, and long-term durability in harsh industrial environments where machinery protection is essential.
This configuration is commonly associated with a 2.4-inch class probe case length, 3.5-inch mounting geometry variant, 1.0-meter system cable, ClickLoc connector, and standard configuration option (00), making it suitable for turbomachinery applications requiring deeper installation depth and reinforced mechanical stability. Based on 3300 XL ordering structure references, the “24-35” segment defines the mechanical probe body geometry used for specific mounting requirements in rotating equipment monitoring systems.
Built with stainless steel housing and a PPS sensing tip, the probe ensures reliable performance under vibration, temperature variation, and continuous industrial operation.
