Bently Nevada 3300 XL Series 330103-00-05-50-02-00 5-Meter Proximity Sensor

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330103-00-05-50-02-00 is a premium industrial eddy-current sensor designed for continuous machinery health monitoring. This specialized instrument tracks dynamic shaft vibration and static displacement in critical rotating equipment.

Functional Description

This proximity probe serves as the primary sensing element within a standard 3300 XL Transducer System. The device generates a high-frequency radio frequency field around its 8mm tip to monitor nearby metallic surfaces. As the target shaft moves, it alters the eddy currents within the magnetic field. Consequently, the companion proximitor sensor converts these physical gap changes into proportional linear voltage signals. This continuous data stream allows monitoring systems to detect early signs of mechanical wear, structural misalignment, or bearing degradation.

Technical Characteristics

• Advanced Tip Insulation: The specialized TipLoc molding process creates an exceptionally strong physical bond between the probe tip and the stainless steel body.
• High Pull Strength: Engineers integrated the patented CableLoc design to provide a robust 330 N mechanical connection that prevents cable separation from the probe housing.
• Tool-Free Interconnects: The miniature ClickLoc coaxial connector secures with simple finger-tight torque and provides an audible click when fully locked.
• Corrosion Protection: Gold-plated brass connector interfaces resist environmental moisture and chemical oxidation to preserve low-impedance signal transmission over long operating periods.
• Environmental Sealing: The internal FluidLoc cable construction blocks oil, process gases, and other industrial liquids from leaking through the wire strands into sensitive enclosure areas.
