Bently Nevada 330103-00-18-10-12-00 Proximity Probes

Overview

The Bently Nevada 330103‑00‑18‑10‑12‑00 proximity probe is part of the 3300 XL 8 mm transducer family, designed for high‑accuracy non‑contact measurement of shaft vibration and position in rotating machinery. This model provides stable eddy‑current sensing performance and is widely used in turbines, compressors, generators, and other critical assets requiring continuous condition monitoring.

Functional Characteristics

This probe uses an 8 mm tip and an M10×1 threaded body, enabling precise installation and consistent mechanical alignment. The –12 suffix indicates a 1.2‑meter FluidLoc cable, which offers improved oil‑resistance and signal stability. The unarmored cable design maintains flexibility for routing through tight spaces, while the ClickLoc connector ensures secure attachment to the extension cable.

The 330103‑00‑18‑10‑12‑00 supports standard Bently Nevada sensitivity configurations (typically 8 mV/μm), enabling accurate static and dynamic measurements when paired with a matching extension cable and 3300 XL Proximitor sensor. The probe is fully interchangeable within the 3300 XL system, eliminating the need for field calibration when replacing components.
