Product Description

The 330104-00-18-10-02-05 is a high-precision 8mm eddy current proximity probe from the 3300 XL Series manufactured by Baker Hughes - Bently Nevada.

This non-contact transducer is designed for vibration, displacement, and rotational speed monitoring of critical rotating machinery such as turbines, compressors, and large electric motors. The probe operates using eddy current sensing technology, generating an analog voltage signal proportional to the distance between the probe tip and conductive shaft surfaces.

The probe is specifically engineered to work with 3300 XL Proximitor sensors and extension cables, ensuring stable linear response characteristics even in harsh industrial environments containing oil mist, dust, and chemical contaminants.

The short case design improves installation flexibility in machines with tight radial clearance constraints, making it widely used in power generation and petrochemical rotating asset monitoring systems.

Application and Installation Notes

This probe is commonly used for:

  • Radial vibration monitoring

  • Axial thrust position measurement

  • Shaft speed and tachometer detection

For optimal accuracy, the probe must be paired with:

  • 3300 XL extension cable

  • 3300 XL Proximitor sensor

During installation, proper gap voltage calibration is required to position the probe within its linear measurement range. This is typically verified using a voltmeter or specialized machinery calibration tools.


FAQ

Can this probe be used with older 3300 series Proximitors?
Physical compatibility may exist, but optimal accuracy is achieved only when paired with 3300 XL series electronics, as the scale factor calibration is matched to the XL system architecture.

What is the purpose of the connector protector (02 option)?
The connector protector prevents oil contamination and accidental grounding of the coaxial connector against machine housings, helping to maintain signal integrity and reduce electrical noise.

Does the probe require target material calibration?
Yes. The probe is factory-calibrated for AISI 4140 steel targets. Other shaft materials, such as stainless steel or aluminum, may require scale factor compensation or custom calibration.
