Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada 330103-00-05-50-02-05 is part of the highly acclaimed 3300 XL series of proximity probes, developed by Baker Hughes’ Bently Nevada division. Designed specifically for critical machinery condition monitoring, this probe is engineered for precision, reliability, and durability under the harshest industrial environments.
This proximity probe is most commonly paired with the 3300 XL extension cables and the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor to deliver a complete transducer system that converts the gap between the probe tip and the observed surface into an accurate voltage signal. This data is then used for vibration and position monitoring, crucial for the protection and performance optimization of rotating equipment such as turbines, compressors, pumps, and motors.
