Product Description

The 330103-08-13-10-02-CN is a high-precision 8mm eddy current proximity probe from the Bently Nevada 3300 XL series, specifically configured for the Chinese industrial automation market.

This non-contact proximity transducer is used in machinery protection and condition monitoring systems, providing accurate measurement of:

  • Radial vibration

  • Axial shaft displacement

  • Speed and phase reference (Keyphasor-type signals)

The probe operates by generating a high-frequency electromagnetic field that tracks the distance between the probe tip and conductive rotating targets such as turbine or compressor shafts, delivering sub-micron level resolution.

This variant is designed for deep-reach mounting installations, featuring a 130mm stainless steel case and 80mm unthreaded mounting section for penetration through thick machine housings, thermal insulation layers, or pressure-sealed enclosures.

The “-CN” suffix indicates compliance with Chinese hazardous area safety certifications, including NEPSI explosion-proof standards, enabling deployment in regulated industrial environments such as petrochemical and power generation plants.

Industrial Application Scenarios

The 330103-08-13-10-02-CN is widely deployed in:

  • Power generation turbines

  • Petrochemical refining plants

  • Natural gas processing facilities

  • Industrial compressor monitoring systems

The extended 130mm case allows installation through:

  • Cooling jackets

  • Thick structural casings

  • Insulated turbine housings

It is commonly integrated with machinery protection monitoring systems for predictive maintenance and automatic trip protection.


Hazardous Area Compliance

The CN suffix provides regional safety certification required for use in China’s regulated hazardous environments, typically supporting NEPSI-certified installations in:

  • Gas processing plants

  • Chemical manufacturing facilities

  • Oil & gas production sites

This ensures compliance with local explosion-proof and safety regulations.


Frequently Asked Questions

What is the benefit of the CN suffix?

The CN suffix indicates China-specific hazardous area certification (such as NEPSI), allowing the probe to be legally deployed in regulated explosive atmosphere zones within China.

Does this probe require an extension cable?

Yes. For proper calibration, this 1.0m probe must be paired with:

  • 4.0m extension cable → Total system length = 5.0m

  • 8.0m extension cable → Total system length = 9.0m

It must also be used with a compatible 3300 XL 8mm Proximitor® sensor.

Is pressure sealing supported?

Yes. The integrated Viton® O-ring provides differential pressure sealing between the probe tip and body, improving reliability in pressurized machinery environments.
