Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada 330909-00-20-10-02 3300 NSv Proximity Probe is an advanced non-contact eddy current sensor specifically designed for machinery vibration and displacement monitoring in space-constrained installations. Built on the proven 3300 NSv (Narrow Side-view) technology, this probe provides reliable, high-precision measurements of shaft vibration, rotor position, and axial displacement. Its durable stainless-steel construction and excellent signal stability make it ideal for harsh industrial environments such as petrochemical plants, power generation stations, and high-speed rotating machinery facilities. The 330909 model extends the NSv line with a 1-meter total length for greater installation flexibility, maintaining exceptional accuracy and long-term reliability.
