Bently Nevada 330103-00-05-10-12-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probes

Overview

The Bently Nevada 330103‑00‑05‑10‑12‑00 is an 8 mm proximity probe with an integral cable, designed for non‑contact measurement of shaft vibration and position in fluid‑film bearing machinery. As part of the 3300 XL transducer family, it provides stable eddy‑current sensing performance and is widely used in turbines, compressors, pumps, and other critical rotating equipment.

Functional Characteristics

This probe features an 8 mm tip and an M10×1 threaded body for precise mechanical alignment. The –12 suffix indicates a 1.2‑meter integral cable, while the –05 suffix defines the probe’s mechanical length. The unarmored cable design offers flexibility for routing through confined spaces, and the ClickLoc connector ensures secure attachment to the extension cable.

When paired with a matching 3300 XL extension cable and Proximitor sensor, the 330103‑00‑05‑10‑12‑00 delivers standard 3300 XL sensitivity (typically 8 mV/μm). The probe maintains excellent linearity across the full API 670‑compliant measurement range, supporting both static and dynamic measurements.

FAQ

Q: Does this model include the Proximitor sensor A: No. This model includes the probe with integral cable; the Proximitor sensor is purchased separately.

Q: What does the “–12” suffix indicate A: It specifies a 1.2‑meter integral cable length.

Q: Is the probe interchangeable with other 3300 XL components A: Yes. Probes, extension cables, and Proximitor sensors are fully interchangeable without field calibration.
