Product Description

The 330103-05-15-10-02-00 is a high-precision 8 mm eddy current proximity probe from the Bently Nevada 3300 XL Series. This non-contact transducer is designed for vibration, displacement, and rotor dynamic monitoring in high-criticality rotating machinery protection systems.

This probe measures the gap distance between the probe tip and conductive targets such as rotating shafts and converts the measurement into a highly linear voltage output signal. It is widely used for monitoring:

  • Radial shaft vibration

  • Axial thrust position

  • Keyphasor® phase reference signals

The 05-15-10 configuration provides an extended mechanical reach, featuring a 150 mm stainless steel case and 50 mm unthreaded mounting section. This design is ideal for deep mounting installations such as thick machine housings, bearing structures, or water jacket penetrations.

The probe also features the proprietary ClickLoc™ connector system, providing moisture-resistant, vibration-secured signal coupling to prevent electrical intermittency in harsh industrial environments.

Industrial Application Scenarios

The 330103-05-15-10-02-00 is widely used in:

  • Steam and gas turbine monitoring

  • Centrifugal compressor protection

  • Industrial gearbox vibration surveillance

  • Heavy-duty rotating motor protection

It is typically paired with a Proximitor® signal conditioner and monitoring systems such as the Bently Nevada 3500 series protection racks for predictive maintenance and automatic shutdown protection logic.

The extended case length allows the probe to reach internal machine zones while keeping sensitive signal connections outside of oil spray and mechanical turbulence areas.


Frequently Asked Questions

What is the benefit of the 150 mm case length?
The extended case allows installation through thick mechanical structures while keeping electrical connections in safer external zones, improving measurement stability.

Can this probe operate without an extension cable?
No. Bently Nevada 3300 XL systems require a total electrical cable length of either 5 m or 9 m. A 1 m probe must be paired with appropriate extension cables to maintain calibration accuracy and linear signal response.

Why is PPS used for the probe tip?
PPS provides high thermal stability, strong chemical resistance, and excellent wear resistance under long-term high-speed shaft monitoring conditions.
