Advanced Eddy Current Technology for Machinery Protection
The 330103-00-10-10-01-05 operates using eddy current sensing technology to measure the distance between the probe tip and a conductive shaft surface without physical contact. The generated electrical output corresponds directly to shaft movement, enabling accurate monitoring of both dynamic vibration and static shaft position.
When combined with a compatible 3300 XL Extension Cable and 3300 XL Proximitor® Sensor, the probe forms a complete monitoring system widely used for vibration analysis, position measurement, and Keyphasor® reference applications on fluid-film bearing machinery.

Product Advantages
Reliable 3300 XL System Compatibility
The probe is designed to integrate with the complete 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System, including extension cables and Proximitor® sensors, providing a matched solution for accurate machinery diagnostics.
Precision Non-Contact Measurement
The eddy current operating principle eliminates physical contact between the probe and rotating shaft, reducing mechanical wear and maintaining measurement accuracy over extended operating periods.
100 mm Metric Probe Design
The extended 100 mm case length provides additional mounting flexibility for machinery installations where standard probe lengths may not provide sufficient positioning clearance.
Protected ClickLoc™ Connector Design
The connector protector helps improve mechanical durability by reducing exposure of the connector interface to installation damage, contamination, and handling stress.
Hazardous Area Certification Support
The 05 approval option supports applications requiring CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications, making the probe suitable for industrial environments with strict safety requirements.
