Reliable 3300 XL Technology for Industrial Machinery Protection
The 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probe is designed for applications where accurate shaft displacement measurement and continuous vibration monitoring are essential. Its non-contact design eliminates mechanical wear while providing stable measurement performance during long-term operation.
The 330101 series represents the standard non-armored 8 mm probe configuration with a 3/8-24 UNF thread, offering a practical solution for installations where additional armor protection is not required.
Typical measurement functions include:
-
Radial shaft vibration monitoring
-
Shaft relative displacement measurement
-
Rotor position monitoring
-
Bearing condition analysis
-
Keyphasor® reference measurement
-
Turbine supervisory instrumentation (TSI)
The probe is commonly installed as part of a complete Bently Nevada vibration monitoring system to help operators identify machine condition changes before failures occur.
