Product Description

The 330103-03-09-10-02-00 is a high-precision 8 mm eddy current proximity probe belonging to the Bently Nevada 3300 XL Series. This sensor is widely used in machinery protection and condition monitoring systems for critical rotating equipment.

This probe provides non-contact vibration and displacement measurement by converting the distance between the probe tip and a conductive target (such as a rotating shaft) into a proportional voltage signal. It is commonly used to monitor:

  • Radial shaft vibration

  • Axial thrust position

  • Rotor dynamic behavior

  • Rotational speed characteristics

The probe is engineered for harsh industrial environments such as turbines, compressors, and pumps in power generation and oil & gas facilities.

The probe tip is made from Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), a high-strength thermoplastic resistant to chemical corrosion and mechanical wear. The probe body uses AISI 303/304 stainless steel, providing structural durability in high-pressure and contaminant-rich environments.

The ClickLoc™ connector system provides secure, vibration-resistant cable locking to prevent accidental disconnection in high-vibration machinery environments.

Machinery Monitoring Applications

This probe is commonly integrated into machine protection systems such as:

  • Gas and steam turbine monitoring systems

  • Industrial compressor condition monitoring

  • Pump shaft vibration analysis

  • Rotor thrust position measurement

It typically connects to a Proximitor® sensor and monitoring racks such as the Bently Nevada 3500 Series monitoring platform. For longer installations, extension cables are often used to connect the probe to remotely located signal processing modules.


Frequently Asked Questions

What is the benefit of the ClickLoc™ connector?
The ClickLoc™ connector provides a positive mechanical lock with an audible click confirmation, preventing signal loss caused by vibration-induced connector loosening.

Can this probe be used with other Proximitor sensors?
No. This probe is calibrated specifically for 3300 XL 8 mm Proximitor sensors to maintain the correct linear response and scale factor.

Why is PPS used for the probe tip?
PPS provides high chemical resistance, dimensional stability at high temperatures, and resistance to mechanical abrasion during long-term shaft proximity measurement.
