Technical FAQs
1. What is the Bently Nevada 330103-00-02-05-02-00 used for?
It is used to measure shaft vibration, radial displacement, and axial position on rotating machinery through non-contact eddy current sensing.
2. What is the difference between 330103 and 330101 probes?
The 330103 series uses an M10 × 1 metric thread, while the 330101 series uses a 3/8-24 UNF thread configuration.
3. Is this probe armored?
No. The 330103-00-02-05-02-00 is a standard unarmored metric probe. The armored metric equivalent belongs to the 330104 series.
4. What does the "00" in the model number indicate?
The first "00" indicates a 0 mm unthreaded length option.
5. What does the "02" case length option represent?
The "02" option specifies a 20 mm overall case length.
6. What does the "05" cable option mean?
The "05" option indicates a 0.5-meter (1.6 ft) total cable length.
7. What connector does this probe use?
It uses a miniature coaxial ClickLoc™ connector with standard cable configuration.
8. Does this model include hazardous-area certification?
No. The "-00" agency approval option indicates that no additional approval package is included.
9. What components are needed for a complete 3300 XL system?
A complete system normally includes the probe, compatible extension cable, and 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor.
10. Why choose the 3300 XL 8 mm metric probe family?
The 3300 XL 8 mm metric series provides reliable displacement measurement, strong mechanical construction, and compatibility with modern industrial machinery monitoring systems.
