Compact High-Performance Eddy Current Sensor for Advanced Machinery Protection
The Bently Nevada 330905-00-25-70-02-00 3300 NSv Proximity Probe is a precision displacement measurement sensor designed for applications where installation space is limited but reliable shaft vibration monitoring is essential. As part of the 3300 XL NSv Proximity Transducer System, this probe provides accurate non-contact measurement of shaft position, radial vibration, and dynamic displacement for small targets and compact rotating machinery. The NSv series is specifically optimized for machines with restricted mounting clearances, including compressor applications where standard proximity probes cannot be installed effectively.
The 330905-00-25-70-02-00 configuration features an M10 × 1 threaded probe design, 250 mm overall case length, 7.0-meter cable, and a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with standard cable construction. This configuration offers extended installation flexibility while maintaining excellent signal stability and measurement accuracy. Built with industrial-grade materials and designed for continuous operation, it supports reliable machinery condition monitoring in demanding environments.
