Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada 173687-02-10-11-05 3300 XL 8mm Vibration Sensor Probe is a premium proximity probe designed to deliver precise and reliable vibration and displacement measurements in critical industrial machinery. This model belongs to the 3300 XL series, known for its exceptional linearity, extended temperature range, and mechanical durability.
This probe provides accurate non-contact measurement of shaft vibration and position relative to the machine’s casing. It operates on the eddy current principle and, when used with matching Proximitor sensors and extension cables, forms a complete proximity transducer system. The 3300 XL 8mm series has become a global standard for turbomachinery condition monitoring, rotor dynamics analysis, and machine protection systems.
The 173687-02-10-11-05 probe ensures stable performance even under harsh environmental conditions, including high vibration, electromagnetic interference, and temperature variations. It is compatible with Bently Nevada 3300 and 3500 systems and widely used in rotating equipment such as steam turbines, gas turbines, compressors, and motors.
