Bently Nevada 330103-00-15-50-02-00 | 150mm 5.0m Proximity Probe

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330103-00-15-50-02-00 is a metric-series 3300 XL 8mm proximity probe designed for non-contact vibration and position measurement. This high-precision sensor utilizes eddy current technology to monitor critical machinery parameters such as radial vibration, axial thrust, and phase reference (Keyphasor). Featuring an M10x1 thread and a 5.0-meter total length, the 330103 probe is a standard-setting component in Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation (TSI) systems worldwide.

Technical Configuration

Engineered for specific metric housing and system requirements:

• Model Series: 3300 XL 8 mm Probe (M10 x 1 thread, No Armor)
• Unthreaded Length (00): 0 mm
• Overall Case Length (15): 150 mm
• Total Length (50): 5.0 Meters (16.4 feet)
• Connector: Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector (Standard Cable)
• Agency Approval: 00 (Standard / Not required)

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

The 3300 XL 8mm probe utilizes Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) for the probe tip, providing exceptional chemical and thermal resistance. The ClickLoc connector ensures a vibration-proof electrical coupling, while the integrated Viton O-ring maintains a differential pressure seal between the tip and the case. This 5-meter version is specifically designed to eliminate the need for an extension cable in certain installations, provided it is paired with a matching 5-meter Proximitor Sensor to ensure system calibration integrity.

Technical FAQs

Q1: Can I use this 5.0-meter probe with a 7-meter or 9-meter Proximitor?
A1: No. This 5-meter probe is electronically calibrated specifically for use with a 5-meter Proximitor sensor only. Mixing lengths will result in significant scale factor errors.

Q2: What is the maximum thread engagement for the M10x1 case?
A2: The maximum length of thread engagement for this model is 15 mm. Exceeding this may cause mechanical interference or damage during installation.

Q3: How does temperature affect the pressure seal?
A3: While the probe operates down to -52°C, exposure below -34°C may cause the Viton pressure seal to become brittle, potentially leading to premature failure of the pressure boundary.
