The 330901-05-55-05-11-05 is a Bently Nevada high-precision eddy current proximity probe featuring an integrated FluidLoc oil-sealed cable. Fully compatible with the 3300 XL NSv Proximitor Sensor, this unit works seamlessly with industrial monitoring systems to deliver stable vibration logging and reliable thrust position data in tight or restricted machine housings.
Competitive Advantage
- FluidLoc Seal Technology: Prevents oil, process gas, and other machine liquids from leaking out through the interior of the coaxial cable.
Tight-Space Optimization: Specifically engineered for restricted counterbore, sideview, or rearview spaces where standard 5mm and 8mm probes cannot fit.
Small Target Precision: High-accuracy performance on narrow shafts (under 51 mm / 2 in) or tiny flat axial targets (under 15 mm / 0.6 in).
Integrated Connector Protection: Shipped with a pre-installed fluorosilicone connector protector to completely shield the ClickLoc junction from environment-driven signal errors.
System Compatibility and Alternative Models
System Compatibility
- Connects directly to the Bently Nevada 3300 XL NSv Proximitor Sensor (e.g., 330980).
Fully compatible with standard 3300 NSv extension cables (if a longer loop is required).
Designed to replace legacy 3300 RAM Transducer Systems and 3000/7000-series 190 systems.
Alternative Models & Differences
- 330901-05-55-05-02-05: Uses a standard coaxial cable without the FluidLoc interior leakage barrier and does not include a pre-installed connector protector.
330902-05-55-05-11-05: Identical mechanical configuration but features a flexible stainless steel armor sleeve wrapped around the FEP cable for mechanical protection.
330104 Standard 8mm Probe: Offers a longer 2.0 mm linear range but lacks the superior side-view clearance and small-target performance of the NSv family.

Installation & Troubleshooting FAQ
Q1:What is the correct initial calibration linear range and gap setting for this NSv probe?
A1:The total linear range is 1.5 mm (60 mils), spanning from -1 Vdc to -13 Vdc. To set up the probe midpoint in the field, adjust the physical gap to 1.0 mm (40 mils), which corresponds to the linear center of the calibration curve.
Q2:Why am I experiencing signal clipping or reduced sensitivity at far gaps?
A2:This happens if the probe counterbore is too tight (less than 9.5 mm / 0.375 in). Surrounding metal dampens the electromagnetic field (sideview effect). To fix this, increase the counterbore diameter or reduce the running gap setting.
Q3:How do I prevent high-frequency crosstalk if I mount two NSv probes in an X-Y configuration?
A3:Maintain a minimum physical tip-to-tip separation distance of at least 23 mm (0.9 in) for radial vibration or 25 mm (1.0 in) for axial thrust tracking to stop their high-frequency RF signals from overlapping.
