Armored Proximity Probe Built for Reliable Operation in Harsh Industrial Environments

The Bently Nevada 330102-00-96-10-01-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe is an armored, non-contact eddy-current sensor designed for precise measurement of shaft vibration, shaft position, and dynamic displacement in rotating machinery. As a member of the 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System, this probe delivers excellent linearity, outstanding environmental resistance, and dependable long-term performance for machinery protection and condition monitoring applications. Its armored cable construction offers enhanced mechanical durability, making it well suited for installations where cables are exposed to abrasion, vibration, or harsh operating conditions.

This configuration features a 0.0 in. unthreaded length, a 9.6 in. (243.8 mm) overall case length, a 1.0 m (3.3 ft) armored integrated cable, a Miniature ClickLoc™ connector with connector protector, and a standard (non-hazardous) approval configuration. The long probe body is ideal for deep mounting applications while maintaining full compatibility with compatible 3300 XL Proximitor Sensors and extension cables.

Technical Specifications

Technical FAQs

1. What does this probe measure?

It measures shaft vibration, shaft displacement, shaft position, and related dynamic movement using non-contact eddy-current technology.

2. What is the difference between 330101 and 330102 probes?

The 330102 model features an armored cable, providing additional mechanical protection compared with the standard non-armored 330101 version.

3. What does the "96" option indicate?

The 96 option specifies a 9.6-inch (243.8 mm) overall case length, providing extra reach for deep mounting applications.

4. What cable length is supplied?

This model includes a factory-installed 1.0-meter (3.3-foot) armored cable.

5. What does connector option "01" mean?

Option 01 indicates a Miniature ClickLoc™ connector with a connector protector, helping safeguard the connector during installation and operation.

6. What does approval option "00" represent?

Option 00 is the standard configuration without CSA, ATEX, or IECEx hazardous-area approvals.

7. Why choose an armored proximity probe?

Armored probes provide superior protection against abrasion, vibration, mechanical impact, and cable damage in demanding industrial environments.

8. Can this probe operate independently?

No. It is designed to operate with a compatible 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor and matching extension cable as part of a complete transducer system.

9. Which industries commonly use this model?

It is widely used in power generation, oil and gas, petrochemical, mining, pulp and paper, and other heavy industrial sectors that rely on continuous machinery condition monitoring.

10. Is this probe suitable for continuous online monitoring?

Yes. It is specifically engineered for permanent installation in machinery protection and predictive maintenance systems operating around the clock.
