Precision Metric Sensing for Critical Machinery
Engineered for Continuous Condition Monitoring
The 330103-00-03-05-01-05 converts the distance between the probe tip and the rotating shaft surface into a proportional electrical signal, enabling accurate measurement of both static shaft position and dynamic vibration movement. When combined with a compatible 3300 XL Extension Cable and 3300 XL Proximitor® Sensor, it forms a complete machinery monitoring solution.
Typical monitoring functions include:
-
Shaft radial vibration measurement
-
Rotor displacement monitoring
-
Axial position detection
-
Bearing condition analysis
-
Turbine supervisory instrumentation
-
Keyphasor® speed and phase reference measurement
-
Online predictive maintenance monitoring
The compact metric design makes this probe suitable for OEM machinery, imported rotating equipment, and installations requiring M10 x 1 mounting compatibility.
