The 102044-00-48-10-05 is a high-performance 3300 XL 11mm proximity probe featuring a 1/2-20 UNF mounting thread, a 4.8-inch overall case length, and a fully threaded body without unthreaded sections. Wrapped in a rugged stainless steel armored sleeve with an FEP jacket and certified with multi-agency hazardous area approvals, this heavy-duty unit works seamlessly with 11mm Proximitor sensors to deliver an extended 4.0 mm (160 mils) linear measurement range and stable machinery vibration tracking in severe industrial environments.

Features and benefits

• • Reliable Signal Transmission: Ensures stable and accurate data transfer in machinery monitoring systems.

  • Industrial-Grade Design: Built to withstand harsh industrial environments.

  • High Compatibility: Works with compatible Bently Nevada proximity transducer systems.

  • Easy Installation: Designed for quick integration into monitoring setups.

  • Improved Equipment Protection: Helps detect vibration or position changes early.

  • Long Service Life: Durable construction supports long-term, reliable operation.

Specific Application

• Radial vibration and axial thrust position measurement on heavy-duty industrial rotating machinery (e.g., large industrial steam turbines, multi-stage boiler feed pumps, and high-capacity gas compressors).
• Deep-bore sensor installations in thick-walled fluid-film bearing housings where an extended 4.8-inch case length is required to properly reach internal shaft surfaces.
• Severe operational pathways exposed to sharp internal machinery brackets, hot oil washdowns, or physical abrasion demanding flexible stainless steel armor protection.

System Compatibility, Alternative Models, and Differences

• System Compatibility:

Fully compatible with the Bently Nevada 3300 XL 11mm Proximitor Sensor (e.g., 330780) and 3300 XL 11mm Extension Cables. It satisfies all industry parameters for continuous machinery monitoring and provides a calibrated linear output scale factor of 3.94 V/mm (100 mV/mil).

• Alternative Model (Standard 8mm Sibling):

330104-00-48-10-02-05 (3300 XL 8mm Armored Proximity Probe Counterpart)

• Key Differences between 102044 (11mm) and 330104 (8mm):

Linear Measurement Range: The 11mm 102044 probe provides a significantly wider 4.0 mm (160 mils) linear measurement range, whereas the standard 8mm 330104 probe is limited to a 2.0 mm (80 mils) range.

Sensor Head Sizing & Thread Type: The 102044 features a larger 11mm tip diameter built into a heavier 1/2-20 UNF threaded case, while the standard 8mm model uses an 8mm tip housed in a 3/8-24 UNF body.

Scale Factor Sensitivity: Due to the extended linear range configuration, the 11mm system is calibrated to a scale factor of 3.94 V/mm (100 mV/mil), which is exactly half the sensitivity of the standard 8mm system's 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil) signature.
