Precision Sensing for Critical Rotating Assets
The 330103-00-10-10-01-05 uses proven eddy current technology to measure the gap between the probe tip and a conductive shaft surface without physical contact. This sensing method allows the system to capture both dynamic vibration signals and static shaft position measurements with excellent repeatability.
When combined with a compatible 3300 XL Extension Cable and 3300 XL Proximitor® Sensor, the probe becomes part of a complete monitoring solution widely applied on fluid-film bearing machines, turbines, compressors, generators, pumps, and other high-value rotating assets.

Product Advantages
High-Accuracy Non-Contact Measurement
The eddy current operating principle eliminates mechanical contact between the probe and rotating shaft, reducing wear while providing stable and repeatable measurements over long operating periods.
Extended 100 mm Metric Configuration
The 100 mm case length provides additional installation flexibility for machinery designs requiring a longer probe body while maintaining the compact 8 mm sensing format.
Protected ClickLoc™ Connector
The connector protector improves mechanical protection around the probe connection area, helping reduce damage caused by handling, installation activities, and industrial operating conditions.
Hazardous Area Compatibility
The 05 approval option supports applications requiring recognized hazardous-area certifications including CSA, ATEX, and IECEx, expanding suitability for demanding industrial locations.
Complete 3300 XL System Integration
The probe is designed to operate as part of a matched 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System, consisting of the probe, extension cable, and Proximitor sensor.
