Product Overview
The Bently Nevada 330101-02-12-10-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe is a precision eddy-current proximity probe developed for the 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System. Designed for continuous machine protection and condition monitoring, it delivers highly accurate, non-contact measurement of shaft vibration and shaft position on critical rotating equipment.
This model features a 2.0 in. unthreaded length, a 1.2 in. (30.5 mm) overall probe case length, a 1.0 m (3.3 ft) integrated standard cable, and a Miniature ClickLoc™ coaxial connector. The Option 00 configuration indicates that no hazardous-area approvals are included, making it ideal for standard industrial installations. The probe is fully compatible with matching 3300 XL Proximitor Sensors and extension cables to create a complete transducer system.
