Description
Overview
The Bently Nevada 330103‑12‑16‑10‑02‑05 proximity probe is part of the 3300 XL 8 mm transducer family, engineered for precise shaft vibration and displacement measurement in rotating machinery. Designed for long‑term stability and high accuracy, it integrates seamlessly with the 3300 Proximity Transducer System used in critical turbomachinery and TSI applications.
Functional Characteristics
This probe operates as the sensing element within the 3300 XL system, producing a voltage proportional to the distance between the probe tip and a conductive target surface. When paired with matching extension cables and Proximitor sensors, it delivers accurate static position and dynamic vibration measurements essential for machinery protection.
The probe supports full system interchangeability, allowing replacement without recalibration. Its rugged construction ensures consistent performance in environments exposed to vibration, temperature fluctuations, and mechanical stress.
