Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada 146055-05-02-05 3300 XL Ceramic Capped Reverse-Mount Probe is a high-precision displacement and vibration sensor specifically designed for monitoring critical rotating machinery. Part of the 3300 XL Proximity Transducer System, this probe provides reliable measurement of shaft position, vibration, and phase signals in industrial applications.
This model features a reverse-mount design with a ceramic-capped tip, providing superior durability, thermal stability, and wear resistance. The ceramic tip ensures long-term performance even in environments with high-speed shaft rotation, debris, or occasional contact. With a 0.5-meter total length, it allows installation in constrained or hard-to-reach locations while maintaining signal integrity.
The probe operates on the eddy current principle, generating a voltage proportional to the distance between the probe tip and the conductive target. This signal is used by 3300 XL monitoring modules to track vibration amplitudes, shaft displacement, and phase angle, enabling accurate predictive maintenance and machinery protection.
