Bently Nevada 330130-045-01-05 3300xl 8mm Proximity Probe

The Bently Nevada 330130-045-01-05 is a high-performance 8mm proximity probe designed for the 3300 XL Transducer System. This sensor measures physical distance between the probe tip and a target surface, such as a rotating shaft, without making physical contact. By providing highly accurate eddy current measurements, this probe allows the 3500 monitoring system to track radial vibration, axial position, and speed. Consequently, industrial facilities rely on this hardware to protect critical assets like turbines, compressors, and motors from catastrophic mechanical failure.

Configuration and Technical Specifications

The 330130-045-01-05 model features a 3/8-24 UNF thread and specific hardware options tailored for standard industrial mounting. The following table details the technical parameters for this specific configuration:

Advanced Material Engineering and Durability

Bently Nevada constructs the 330130 series to endure the volatile conditions found in power generation and petrochemical processing. The probe tip utilizes polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), a high-performance thermoplastic that resists chemical corrosion and moisture absorption. Furthermore, the stainless steel probe body and fluoropolymer-insulated cable ensure signal integrity remains stable despite high temperatures or exposure to turbine oils. Because the probe maintains a linear output of 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil), it provides the high-fidelity data necessary for sophisticated vibration analysis.
