Armored Proximity Sensing Solution for Reliable Machinery Condition Monitoring
The Bently Nevada 330102-00-10-10-01-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe is a rugged, high-precision eddy current sensor designed for continuous monitoring of shaft vibration, radial displacement, and axial position in critical rotating equipment. As part of the proven 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System, this probe combines accurate measurement capability with enhanced mechanical protection through its armored cable construction, making it ideal for harsh industrial environments where reliability and long service life are required.
The 330102 series is the armored version of the standard 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe family, featuring a 3/8-24 UNF thread, 0.0-inch unthreaded length, 1.0-inch case length, 1.0-meter integral cable, miniature coaxial ClickLoc™ connector with connector protector, and CSA, ATEX, IECEx approvals. This configuration provides additional cable protection for installations exposed to vibration, mechanical stress, or difficult maintenance conditions.

Technical FAQs
1. What is the Bently Nevada 330102-00-10-10-01-05 used for?
It is used for non-contact measurement of shaft vibration, radial displacement, and axial position on rotating machinery.
2. What is the difference between 330101 and 330102 probes?
The 330101 series is the standard non-armored version, while the 330102 series includes armored cable protection for harsher installation environments.
3. What does the "330102" designation mean?
The 330102 designation identifies a 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe with 3/8-24 UNF thread and armored cable construction.
4. What does the "10" after the first option represent?
The first 10 represents a 1.0-inch overall case length configuration.
5. What does the cable length option "10" indicate?
The second 10 specifies a 1.0-meter (3.3 ft) total probe cable length.
6. What connector is used on this probe?
This model uses a miniature coaxial ClickLoc™ connector with connector protector.
7. Is this probe suitable for hazardous locations?
Yes. The -05 approval option provides CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals for applicable installations.
8. What material is the probe tip made from?
The probe tip uses polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), selected for stable electrical characteristics and durability.
9. Which monitoring components are required with this probe?
A complete system typically includes a compatible 3300 XL extension cable and 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor.
10. Why choose an armored proximity probe?
Armored probes provide improved resistance against abrasion, mechanical impact, and installation-related cable damage, making them suitable for demanding machinery environments.
