330103-00-03-10-02-CN Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Hardware Specifications

Eddy-Current Measurement and Rotor Dynamics Characteristics

The 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe series uses eddy-current sensing technology to convert shaft displacement into electrical distance signals. Therefore, the probe provides direct gap measurement feedback for vibration analysis, axial position monitoring, and rotor dynamics evaluation.

The probe operates with a compatible Bently Nevada proximity transducer system that validates probe gap voltage conditions. In addition, system calibration commonly uses a -10 VDC gap voltage target to establish the correct operating range between the probe tip and the monitored shaft surface.

The 330103-00-03-10-02-CN configuration uses a 1.0 meter cable with a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector. This cable arrangement maintains signal integrity between the probe and the connected monitoring electronics while reducing installation complexity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What mechanical connection does the 330103-00-03-10-02-CN use?
A: The probe uses an M10 x 1 thread with a 30 mm overall case length and a 0 mm unthreaded length configuration.

Q: Does the 330103-00-03-10-02-CN include an armored cable?
A: No. This configuration specifies a standard miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector cable without armor.

Q: What type of signal does this proximity probe provide?
A: The probe provides an eddy-current displacement signal that requires a compatible Bently Nevada proximity transducer system for signal conditioning and monitoring.

Field Installation Guidelines

Install the probe with correct mechanical alignment between the probe tip and the rotating shaft target surface. Maintain the specified M10 x 1 mounting thread engagement and avoid mechanical stress on the probe body during installation.

Route the miniature coaxial cable away from high-current power conductors and sources of electromagnetic interference. Keep cable bends within the manufacturer-defined limits to prevent damage to the internal conductor structure.

Connect the probe cable to the compatible Bently Nevada monitoring interface and verify the gap voltage before commissioning. Confirm the operating gap range and signal response during static shaft positioning checks.

Ensure proper cable shielding practices during field wiring. Ground the shield according to the monitoring system installation requirements to reduce electrical noise and maintain measurement stability.
