Reliable Shaft Monitoring Solution with 3300 XL Technology
The 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probe uses proven eddy current sensing technology to measure shaft movement without physical contact. This allows continuous monitoring of rotating equipment while avoiding mechanical wear between the sensor and target surface.
The 330101 series is designed as a standard non-armored probe with a 3/8-24 UNF thread, providing a compact and flexible installation solution for machinery monitoring systems.
Typical measurement functions include:
-
Radial shaft vibration monitoring
-
Shaft displacement measurement
-
Rotor position monitoring
-
Bearing vibration analysis
-
Keyphasor® phase reference measurement
-
Turbine supervisory instrumentation (TSI)
The probe is commonly installed as part of a complete Bently Nevada vibration protection system for turbines, compressors, pumps, generators, and other critical rotating assets.
