High-Stability Compact Sensor for Deep-Installation Machinery Monitoring
The Bently Nevada 330904-07-15-05-02-00 3300 NSv Proximity Probe is a non-contact eddy-current sensor designed for precise shaft vibration and position measurement in rotating machinery with demanding installation constraints. As part of the 3300 NSv (Narrow Side View) series, this probe is optimized for stable operation in compact machine housings where surrounding metallic structures could otherwise affect measurement accuracy.
This configuration is commonly used in industrial condition monitoring systems for compressors, turbines, and high-speed rotating equipment, where deep mounting depth and mechanical robustness are required for reliable long-term operation. NSv probes are widely recognized for their ability to maintain measurement stability in tight-clearance applications while supporting predictive maintenance strategies.

It measures shaft vibration and radial displacement without physical contact.
Q2: What does NSv mean?
NSv stands for Narrow Side View, designed to reduce interference from nearby metallic structures.
Q3: What does the “07-15” configuration indicate?
It typically refers to a 70 mm unthreaded length and 150 mm case length configuration.
Q4: What is the cable length?
This model includes a 0.5-meter integrated coaxial cable.
Q5: What is the thread type?
It uses an M8 × 1 metric threaded mounting system.
Q6: Where is it commonly used?
