Bently Nevada 330101-00-43-15-02-05 8mm Proximity Transducer Probe

Product Description
The 330101-00-43-15-02-05 is a premium non-contact displacement sensor from the Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8mm Transducer System, delivering high-fidelity data for machinery protection systems. This eddy current probe is specifically designed to monitor shaft vibration and position in critical rotating assets, including turbines, compressors, and gearboxes.

The 330101-00-43-15-02-05 (3300 XL 8mm Probe) features a 4.3-inch unthreaded length and a 1.5-meter integral cable. Its PPS tip, bonded to a stainless steel case, provides a robust, liquid-tight seal suitable for high-pressure environments. The gold-plated ClickLoc connector ensures a stable, low-impedance connection resistant to vibration, moisture, and other environmental contaminants.

Proximity Probe Advantages (3300 XL vs. Standard Probes)

• Connector Integrity: ClickLoc connectors prevent accidental loosening due to vibration.

• Material Science: PPS tip provides superior chemical resistance to modern synthetic oils.

• Thermal Stability: Maintains linear output even during significant thermal shifts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the benefit of the -05 approval option?
A: Indicates certification for multiple hazardous-area standards (ATEX, IECEx, CSA), making it suitable for global oil & gas applications.

Q: Can I use this 1.5 m probe with a 5 m system?
A: Yes, with the correct 3.5 m extension cable to achieve the required total system electrical length of 5.0 meters.
