Rugged Armored Proximity Sensor for Advanced Rotating Equipment Monitoring
The Bently Nevada 330102-00-80-10-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe is a high-performance eddy current displacement sensor engineered for accurate, continuous monitoring of shaft vibration, radial displacement, and axial position in critical rotating machinery. Designed as part of the industry-proven 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System, this probe provides reliable measurement stability for applications requiring precise machinery condition analysis and protection.
Featuring an armored cable construction, the 330102 series is designed for installations where additional mechanical protection is required. This model uses a 3/8-24 UNF threaded configuration, a smooth extended case design, 1.0-meter cable length, and a miniature coaxial ClickLoc™ connector with connector protector. The rugged construction makes it suitable for industrial environments where vibration, abrasion, and challenging installation conditions are common.
