Bently Nevada 330103-05-15-10-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

The Bently Nevada 330103-05-15-10-02-00, also cataloged as the 330103 Proximity Probe, operates as a dedicated hardware component for non-contact eddy current displacement measurement within the Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System. The probe provides proportional displacement signals for shaft vibration, position, and speed measurement applications.

Hardware Specifications

Eddy Current Probe Scaling and Rotor Dynamics Measurement

The Bently Nevada 330103-05-15-10-02-00 probe operates as part of the 3300 XL 8 mm eddy current proximity transducer system. The probe generates displacement measurement signals proportional to the distance between the probe tip and the conductive target surface when combined with a compatible extension cable and Proximitor sensor.

The probe design supports rotor dynamics monitoring applications on fluid-film bearing machinery, providing measurement capability for shaft vibration, radial position, Keyphasor reference, and speed signals. The 3300 XL system architecture supports interchangeable probe, extension cable, and Proximitor sensor configurations without individual component matching or bench calibration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What system components are required to operate the 330103-05-15-10-02-00 probe?
A: The probe requires a compatible 3300 XL extension cable and 3300 XL Proximitor sensor to form a complete proximity transducer system.

Q: What measurement principle is used by the 330103 probe?
A: The probe uses eddy current displacement measurement to detect the distance between the probe tip and a conductive shaft surface.

Q: What type of connector is used on this probe assembly?
A: The probe uses a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with FluidLoc cable configuration.

Field Installation Guidelines

Install the 330103-05-15-10-02-00 probe according to the mechanical mounting requirements of the Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System.

Maintain correct probe tip clearance and ensure the sensing surface is compatible with eddy current measurement requirements. Route the FluidLoc cable away from high-current conductors and electromagnetic interference sources.

Verify connector engagement, cable condition, probe mounting rigidity, and connection to the compatible Proximitor sensor before commissioning the vibration monitoring circuit.
