Compact Metric Design for Industrial Reliability
Accurate Eddy Current Measurement in Space-Limited Installations
The 330103-00-02-05-02-05 provides precise non-contact measurement by generating an electrical output proportional to the distance between the probe tip and the rotating shaft surface. It is commonly integrated with a compatible 3300 XL Extension Cable and 3300 XL Proximitor® Sensor to form a complete vibration and position monitoring system.
Typical monitoring functions include:
-
Shaft radial vibration measurement
-
Rotor displacement monitoring
-
Axial position detection
-
Bearing condition monitoring
-
Speed and Keyphasor® reference applications
-
Machinery protection system integration
The compact metric configuration makes this probe especially suitable for OEM machinery, imported rotating equipment, and installations requiring M10 x 1 mounting threads.

Technical FAQs
1. What is the main function of the Bently Nevada 330103-00-02-05-02-05?
It measures shaft vibration, displacement, and position using non-contact eddy current technology.
2. What makes the 330103 series different from 330101?
The 330103 series uses an M10 x 1 metric thread, while the 330101 series uses a 3/8-24 UNF thread.
3. Is this probe armored?
No. The 330103 series is the metric version without armored cable construction.
4. What does the "00" option indicate?
It specifies a 0 mm unthreaded length configuration.
5. What does the "02" option represent?
It specifies a 20 mm overall case length.
6. What does the "05" cable option mean?
It indicates a 0.5-meter total probe cable length.
7. Which connector is included?
The probe uses a Miniature Coaxial ClickLoc™ connector with standard cable.
8. Which sensor should be paired with this probe?
It should be used with a compatible 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor and matching extension cable to create a complete transducer system.
9. What material is the probe tip made from?
The probe tip uses Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) material for durability and environmental resistance.
10. Where is this probe commonly used?
It is commonly installed on turbines, compressors, pumps, generators, and other rotating machinery requiring continuous condition monitoring.
