Technical Description

The 330104-10-16-10-02-00 is an 8 mm proximity probe from Bently Nevada's 3300 XL series, designed for high-accuracy vibration and position monitoring in industrial rotating machinery. This probe utilizes the eddy current principle to deliver a linear voltage output that is proportional to the distance between the probe tip and a conductive target, such as a turbine or compressor shaft. The 3300 XL platform offers excellent signal stability, even in environments with varying temperatures or significant electromagnetic interference (EMI). Featuring a durable PPS tip and a high-grade stainless steel case, this probe is ideal for continuous operation in demanding, mission-critical applications.

Operational Application

The 330104-10-16-10-02-00 proximity probe is widely used for condition monitoring in industries such as power generation, oil and gas, and petrochemical processing. It is ideal for measuring radial vibration, axial position (thrust), and shaft speed on large-scale rotating assets like centrifugal compressors, steam and gas turbines, and electric motors. When integrated with Bently Nevada's 3300 XL proximity monitoring system, this probe helps operators detect bearing wear, rotor instability, or mechanical looseness, enabling predictive maintenance and preventing unplanned downtime.


Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the ClickLoc connector important?
The ClickLoc connector provides a secure, reliable connection that resists loosening due to vibration. It also protects the coaxial interface from moisture and environmental contaminants, ensuring stable performance in harsh industrial environments.

Is the 330104 compatible with non-3300 XL systems?
No, Bently Nevada proximity systems are calibrated as a matched set. Using this probe with older series electronics will result in non-linear output and system errors. It must be used with a 3300 XL Proximitor sensor to ensure specified performance.

What is the significance of the PPS probe tip?
The polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip provides excellent chemical resistance and thermal stability, allowing the probe to maintain its geometry and performance even in hot, oily, or chemically aggressive environments, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh conditions.
