Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada 330909-00-24-70-02-05 3300 NSv Proximity Probe is a precision eddy current sensor designed for accurate, non-contact measurement of shaft vibration and radial displacement. Part of the 3300 NSv (Narrow Side-view) series, this probe is engineered for installations where standard 8 mm probes are too large or where extended cable routing is required. Its rugged stainless-steel housing, long cable design, and excellent signal stability make it ideal for demanding industrial environments such as power generation, petrochemical processing, and high-speed rotating machinery.
