Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada 129716-078-027-05-05 3300 XL Proximity Sensor is part of the highly reliable 3300 XL series, designed for precision measurement of shaft vibration and position in critical rotating machinery. This sensor provides accurate, stable, and reliable proximity measurements by using eddy-current technology to detect the distance between the probe tip and the conductive surface of the rotating shaft.
The 3300 XL family is globally recognized for its robust design, superior signal stability, and ability to withstand harsh industrial environments. The model 129716-078-027-05-05 represents a specific configuration within the 3300 XL product line, optimized for long-term reliability in applications such as turbines, compressors, pumps, and electric motors.
By pairing with a Proximitor sensor and extension cable, it forms a complete proximity measurement system, delivering industry-standard output signals that interface directly with Bently Nevada monitoring systems such as the 3500 series.
