Product Profile
The Bently Nevada 330980-70-CN 3300 XL NSv Proximitor Sensor is a compact eddy-current sensor designed for the 3300 XL NSv Proximity Transducer System. It is engineered for installations where limited mounting space requires a narrow side-view transducer solution while maintaining reliable measurement performance. Used together with compatible 3300 NSv Proximity Probes and 3300 NSv Extension Cables, the sensor forms a complete transducer system for non-contact shaft displacement and vibration measurement.
This model is configured with a 7.0 m (23.0 ft) system length, panel-mount housing, and the CN agency approval option, which is intended for hazardous-area installations in China requiring the applicable certification marking.
