Bently Nevada 330104-00-18-10-02-05 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probe

Product Overview

The 330104-00-18-10-02-05 is a precision-engineered 8mm proximity probe within the industry-standard Bently Nevada 3300 XL series. This "Made in the U.S.A." sensor is specifically designed for long-reach applications, featuring an 180mm overall case length and a 1.0-meter total cable length. With a rugged M10 x 1 threaded stainless steel housing and integrated armor, this probe provides exceptional reliability for vibration and position monitoring in critical rotating machinery, such as large steam turbines, pumps, and industrial compressors.

Core Technical Advantages

This probe is built with a high-performance Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) tip and an AISI 303/304 stainless steel case, ensuring a high-pressure seal through a durable Viton® O-ring. The module is fully compliant with global safety standards, including CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals for use in hazardous areas. The miniature coaxial ClickLoc™ connector offers a secure, vibration-proof link to extension cables, while the system’s design ensures superior supply sensitivity (less than 2 mV/V change) and a stable 50 Ω output resistance for precise data acquisition under extreme industrial conditions.

Technical Specifications

Installation & Engineering Guide

For accurate calibration, the probe should be gapped at 1.27 mm (50 mils) against an AISI 4140 steel target. The 180mm extended case length allows for mounting in deep-seated machine housings, but care must be taken to ensure the M10 threads are properly seated to maintain the differential pressure seal. When integrating into a non-incendive circuit, ensure the power supply provides -17.5 Vdc to -26 Vdc. The 1.0-meter armored cable provides robust shielding; however, ensure the ClickLoc™ connector is free from debris before assembly to maintain the specified 7.59 ± 0.50 Ω nominal DC resistance.

Engineering Advantages

The Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8mm system is recognized worldwide for its accuracy and interchangeability. This probe's Viton® O-ring seal allows for internal mounting where oil or gas pressure must be contained, preventing leakage between the probe tip and the exterior case. The "Option 05" approval package provides the necessary safety certifications for international deployment in explosive atmospheres. By using AISI 303/304 stainless steel, this sensor resists corrosion and oxidation, making it a reliable solution for long-term predictive maintenance in power generation and petrochemical facilities.

Technical FAQs

Q1: What certifications does the Agency Approval Option 05 cover?
A1: This option includes comprehensive global certifications: CSA for North America, ATEX for Europe, and IECEx for international hazardous area requirements, ensuring the probe meets strict safety mandates.

Q2: Can I obtain a Certificate of Origin (COO) for this probe?
A2: Yes. This product is manufactured in the USA, and we can provide an official Certificate of Origin upon request to facilitate your customs and compliance documentation.

Q3: Is this probe compatible with other 3300-series sensors?
A3: The 3300 XL 8mm probe is designed to be compatible with 3300-series 5mm and 8mm Proximitor sensors, though optimal performance and accuracy are achieved when using solely 3300 XL components.
