High-Temp Vibration Probe Bently Nevada 330103-00-03-05-02-05

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330103-00-03-05-02-05 is a high-performance 3300 XL 8mm proximity transducer designed for high-precision machinery protection. This metric-threaded (M10x1) probe features a 30mm overall case length and a 0.5-meter (1.65 feet) total cable length. Weighing approximately 0.15 kg, it is engineered to provide accurate radial vibration and axial position data in space-constrained industrial environments.

Technical Excellence & Certifications

Global Hazardous Area Approvals

Equipped with the "05" agency approval option, this probe is fully certified for use in hazardous locations worldwide. It carries CSA, ATEX, and IECEx ratings, making it suitable for Intrinsically Safe (Zone 0) and Non-incendive (Zone 2) installations. The IP67-rated housing ensures consistent operation even when exposed to heavy dust and moisture.

Advanced Connectivity & Materials

The 330103-00-03-05-02-05 features the Miniature Coaxial ClickLoc connector system, designed to prevent signal loss caused by mechanical vibration. The probe tip is molded from high-durability Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) polymer, providing a high-temperature operating range and resistance to corrosive process chemicals.

Technical Specifications

Performance & Application

The 3300 XL 8mm system delivers an industry-leading 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil) scale factor. This probe is optimized for temperatures up to 85°C (standard range) and demonstrates extreme stability with less than 3% Average Scale Factor (ASF) drift in high-humidity environments. Its fast response time ensures real-time data transmission for critical machine shutdown systems, protecting your capital assets from catastrophic failure.

Installation Guide

The M10x1 threaded case should be installed with a maximum thread engagement of 15mm. For radial vibration monitoring, Bently Nevada recommends a gap setting of approximately 1.27 mm (-9 Vdc). The ClickLoc connector should be finger-tightened until the "click" is felt, ensuring the gold-plated contacts are fully seated and protected against the high-frequency vibration typical of rotating shafts.

Technical FAQs

Q1: Is this probe compatible with older 3300 Proximitors?
A1: While physically similar, for maximum accuracy and linear range, this probe should be used with a 3300 XL Proximitor and extension cable.

Q2: What does the "without armor" specification mean?
A2: It indicates the coaxial cable is protected by a flexible FEP jacket rather than a stainless steel spiral armor, making it easier to route through tight conduits.

Q3: Can this probe operate in submerged oil environments?
A3: Yes, the 3300 XL probes are designed with a Viton® O-ring and PPS tip specifically to seal against oil and process fluids common in bearing housings.
