Compact Integrated Proximity Monitoring for Maximum Equipment Reliability

The Bently Nevada 330881-28-00-050-03-02 PROXPAC XL Proximity Transducer is a fully integrated eddy current proximity transducer assembly designed to simplify shaft vibration and position monitoring on critical rotating machinery. Combining the 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe, 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor, and rugged probe housing into one compact unit, the PROXPAC XL eliminates the need for a separate extension cable and external Proximitor enclosure, significantly reducing installation time while improving overall system reliability.

The 330881-28-00-050-03-02 configuration features a 3300 XL 8 mm probe with multiple approvals, 50 mm probe penetration, one M20 conduit fitting with two sealing plugs, and a 3/4-14 NPT mounting thread, making it suitable for demanding industrial installations in power generation, oil & gas, petrochemical processing, and other heavy-duty applications. Its advanced glass-fiber reinforced PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide) enclosure provides outstanding corrosion resistance and meets Type 4X and IP66 environmental protection standards for harsh operating conditions.

Designed for continuous online condition monitoring, the PROXPAC XL delivers highly accurate shaft displacement measurements while minimizing wiring complexity and maintenance requirements, helping operators maximize equipment uptime and improve predictive maintenance efficiency.
