Description
Overview
The Bently Nevada 330101‑00‑44‑10‑02‑05 proximity probe is an 8 mm eddy‑current sensor engineered for precise non‑contact measurement of shaft vibration and displacement in rotating machinery. As part of the 3300 XL Proximity Transducer System, it delivers stable linearity, long‑term durability, and high measurement accuracy in demanding industrial environments.
Design and Construction
This probe incorporates Bently Nevada’s patented TipLoc molding process, which permanently bonds the probe tip to the body for enhanced mechanical strength. The extension cable features CableLoc reinforcement, providing up to 330 N (75 lbf) of pull strength to prevent cable detachment under vibration or mechanical stress.
Optional FluidLoc cable configurations are available for applications where oil ingress is a concern, such as fluid‑film bearing machines. The probe integrates with a matching extension cable and Proximitor Sensor to produce a voltage proportional to the distance between the probe tip and the monitored conductive surface.
The 330101‑00‑44‑10‑02‑05 is certified for hazardous‑area use under CSA, ATEX, and IECEx, ensuring compliance with global safety standards.
