Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada 330104-02-15-10-01-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe is a high-precision eddy current displacement sensor designed for continuous monitoring of shaft vibration and position in critical rotating machinery. As part of the widely adopted 3300 XL series, this probe delivers consistent linear output, strong thermal stability, and reliable long-term operation in industrial protection systems.
This probe operates on the eddy current principle, generating a controlled high-frequency electromagnetic field at the probe tip. When positioned close to a conductive rotating shaft, variations in the probe-to-target gap cause measurable changes in the field. These changes are converted into a proportional voltage signal by the associated Proximitor® sensor, enabling accurate real-time monitoring of vibration amplitude, shaft position, and dynamic movement.
With a total length of 1.0 meter, this configuration provides balanced flexibility between compact routing and installation convenience. It is suitable for machinery installations where the monitoring module is positioned slightly away from the probe mounting location but still within controlled cabinet environments.
The 330104-02-15-10-01-00 probe is widely used in turbines, compressors, pumps, motors, and generators, where precise displacement measurement is essential for early fault detection and machinery protection.
