Product Overview
Reliable Shaft Measurement with Proven 3300 XL Technology
The 330103-00-05-10-02-05 uses eddy current measurement technology to detect the gap between the probe tip and the rotating shaft surface. The resulting electrical signal allows monitoring systems to evaluate shaft movement, vibration amplitude, and positional changes with high precision.
Designed for continuous industrial operation, this proximity probe supports applications such as:
-
Shaft radial vibration monitoring
-
Rotor displacement measurement
-
Axial position monitoring
-
Turbine supervisory systems
-
Compressor protection
-
Predictive maintenance programs
The probe’s metric mounting design allows easier installation on internationally manufactured machinery while maintaining compatibility with existing Bently Nevada 3300 XL monitoring platforms.

Advantages
Metric Installation Compatibility
The M10 x 1 mounting thread provides excellent compatibility with metric equipment designs, allowing straightforward replacement and installation in global industrial applications.
Accurate Non-Contact Monitoring
The eddy current sensing principle eliminates physical contact between the probe and rotating shaft, reducing mechanical wear and providing consistent measurement performance during continuous operation.
Extended 50 mm Probe Body
The 50 mm case length offers additional mounting flexibility for applications requiring a longer probe configuration while preserving the measurement characteristics of the 3300 XL 8 mm platform.
Durable Industrial Construction
The PPS probe tip and stainless-steel housing provide strong resistance against mechanical stress, temperature variation, and harsh operating conditions.
Secure ClickLoc™ Connection
The miniature coaxial ClickLoc™ connector provides reliable connection performance and simplifies maintenance activities in industrial vibration monitoring systems.
