The 330104-05-12-10-02-00 is a high-performance 3300 XL 8mm proximity probe featuring an M10x1 metric thread, a 120mm overall case length, and a 50mm unthreaded section. Fully enclosed with stainless steel armor and a protective FEP outer jacket, this unit works seamlessly with 3300 XL Proximitor sensors to deliver flexible air-gap adjustments within deep bearing housings and highly stable industrial vibration monitoring without risking cable slicing in harsh machinery environments.
Features and benefits
- Provides precise vibration and position measurement for rotating equipment
- Output signal directly proportional to probe distance ensures accuracy
- Complies with API 670 standards for reliability and performance
- Fully interchangeable components reduce installation complexity
- Compatible with other 3300 series systems for flexible use
- Supports both static and dynamic monitoring applications
Specific Application
- Radial vibration and axial thrust position measurements inside medium-to-deep bore bearing housings on industrial machinery.
- Applications requiring a 50mm unthreaded length to ease adjustments and prevent thread binding inside thick-walled casing structures.
- Severe operational pathways containing sharp internal brackets or heavy debris that demand a rugged stainless steel armor shroud to protect the transducer lead.
System Compatibility, Alternative Models, and Differences
- System Compatibility:
Fully compatible with the Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor (e.g., 330180) and 3300 XL Extension Cables. It satisfies the American Petroleum Institute's (API) 670 Standard and is backward compatible and interchangeable with non-XL 3300 series 5 mm and 8 mm transducer loop hardware.
- Alternative Model (Unarmored Sibling):
330103-05-12-10-02-00 (3300 XL 8mm Metric Probe, Without Armor)
- Key Differences between 330104 (Armored) and 330103 (Unarmored):
Physical Cable Shrouding: The 330104 includes flexible AISI 302 or 304 stainless steel armor with an FEP outer jacket, whereas the 330103 consists of a raw 75Ω triaxial cable with a bare FEP insulation jacket.
Outside Cable Diameter: The armored portion of the 330104 cable has an outside diameter of 7.67 mm (0.302 inches), while the standard non-armored 330103 cable measures a narrower 3.68 mm (0.145 inches).
Armor Ferrule Profile: The 330104 assembly incorporates terminal stainless steel structural ferrules near its ends with a maximum diameter of 9.5 mm (0.38 inches), which requires a wider path through tight internal machine conduit lines compared to the unarmored 330103 model.
