Description
The Bently Nevada 330103-00-10-10-12-05 is a high-performance 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe designed for non-contacting vibration and position monitoring in industrial rotating machinery. This transducer system provides an output voltage proportional to the gap between the probe tip and a conductive target, enabling precise measurement of both static position and dynamic vibration.
Features
- Advanced eddy current transducer technology for high-accuracy displacement monitoring.
- Patented TipLoc molding for a robust bond between the probe tip and body.
- CableLoc design providing 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength for enhanced cable security.
- FluidLoc cable option to prevent liquid leakage through the cable interior.
- Full electrical and mechanical interchangeability with other 3300 XL series components.
- Compliant with API 670 standards for mechanical configuration, linear range, and accuracy.
Applications
- Fluid-film bearing machines
- Centrifugal and process gas compressors
- Turbo expanders
- High-speed electric motors and generators
- Centrifugal pumps and industrial fans
- Keyphasor reference and speed measurement systems

Installation Guidelines
-
Hole Preparation: Use a 0.332-inch drill and a Q-size tap drill for the 3/8-24 UNF threads.
-
Mounting: Ensure thread engagement does not exceed 0.562 inches to prevent the probe tip from bottoming out against the target.
-
Gapping: For standard AISI 4140 steel targets, set the gap to 1.27 mm (50 mils) to achieve the center of the linear range (-9 Vdc).
-
Torque: Apply a maximum tightening torque of 11.3 N·m (100 in·lb) to the probe case.
-
Handling: Always power down the system before disconnecting or installing probes to prevent electrical damage. Use ESD-safe practices when handling the connector.
FAQ
What is the 330103-00-10-10-12-05?
It is a specific configuration of the Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe used for non-contacting vibration and displacement measurement in industrial machinery.
What is the ideal gap voltage for this probe?
The ideal gap voltage is -9.0 VDC, corresponding to a 1.27 mm (50 mils) gap. The linear operating range is typically between -1.0 VDC and -17.0 VDC.
Is this probe interchangeable with older models?
Yes, the 3300 XL series is designed to be electrically and mechanically interchangeable with previous 3300 8 mm systems, though using 3300 XL probes with 3300 XL Proximitor sensors is recommended for optimal performance.
