330104-00-10-10-01-00 Bently Nevada ClickLoc 8mm Probe

Product Overview

The BENTLY NEVADA 330104-00-10-10-01-00 is a high-precision 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe designed for critical machinery protection and condition monitoring. As a cornerstone of vibration analysis, this eddy current sensor provides highly accurate non-contact measurements of shaft displacement and position. This specific configuration features a 1.0-meter (3.3 feet) total length and is constructed from high-grade stainless steel to ensure durability in harsh industrial environments. With a net weight of 0.323 kg, the probe is engineered for stable mounting and long-term reliability in steam turbines, compressors, and motors.

Technical Configuration

Mechanical & Connector Design

This model follows the 330104 series specification with a 0 mm unthreaded length and a 100 mm overall case length. It is equipped with the advanced ClickLoc miniature coaxial connector, which includes a dedicated connector protector to prevent fluid ingress and mechanical damage at the connection point. The probe utilizes a flexible shielded cable, providing superior resistance to electromagnetic interference (EMI) while maintaining the structural integrity required for routing through tight internal machine clearances.

Performance & Electrical Precision

The 330104-00-10-10-01-00 offers a standard sensitivity of 10 mV/µm (200 mV/mil), delivering a linear voltage output that corresponds precisely to the gap between the probe tip and the target material. Operating within a frequency range of 0 to 15 kHz, it is capable of capturing high-speed rotational vibrations and slow-roll position changes alike. The system is designed for a standard 24 V DC operating voltage, seamlessly integrating with Bently Nevada Proximitor sensors and rack-based monitoring systems.

Technical Specifications

Environmental & Operational Resilience

Equipped with an IP68 ingress protection rating, this 3300 XL probe is fully sealed against dust and immersion in fluids, making it suitable for internal machine environments exposed to lubricating oils. The high-grade stainless steel body and specialized cable insulation allow the probe to maintain its accuracy across an extreme temperature spectrum from -50°C to +90°C. This resilience ensures that the linear output remains consistent even as machinery transitions from cold startup to high-temperature operational states.

Engineering Advantages

• ClickLoc Connector: Simplifies installation and prevents accidental disconnection while providing a moisture-proof seal.
• Frequency Response: 0-15 kHz range allows for the detection of high-order vibration harmonics in high-speed rotating equipment.
• Interchangeability: Fully compatible with other 3300 XL 8 mm system components, including extension cables and Proximitors.
• Chemical Resistance: Stainless steel and PPS tip material offer excellent protection against acidic and alkaline industrial fluids.

Technical FAQs

Q1: What is the benefit of the ClickLoc connector?
A1: ClickLoc connectors are designed to be "finger-tight" yet incredibly secure, featuring a built-in locking mechanism that resists vibration-induced loosening.

Q2: Does this probe require a Proximitor sensor?
A2: Yes, to generate a usable signal for a monitoring system, this probe must be connected to a matching 3300 XL Proximitor via an extension cable.

Q3: Can this probe be used for axial thrust measurements?
A3: Absolutely. The 3300 XL 8 mm probe is the industry standard for both radial vibration and axial (thrust) position measurements.
