Description
Overview
The Bently Nevada 330104‑00‑05‑05‑11‑05 proximity probe is part of the 3300 XL 8 mm transducer family, engineered for high‑accuracy non‑contact measurement of shaft vibration and displacement in rotating machinery. Its armored construction and enhanced mechanical durability make it suitable for harsh industrial environments where long‑term reliability is essential.
Design and Construction
This probe features an M10×1 threaded housing and a molded PPS sensing tip. The PPS material provides increased encapsulation thickness around the coil, improving resistance to mechanical impact and environmental stress. The probe includes a 1.0‑meter FluidLoc cable equipped with an 11‑series miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector and a connector protector to maintain shielding integrity.
The 330104‑00‑05‑05‑11‑05 is designed for seamless integration with the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor and extension cables, forming a complete eddy‑current transducer system capable of delivering stable, repeatable measurements.

Performance Characteristics
The probe is part of the 3300 XL platform, which eliminates the need for matched calibration between probes, cables, and Proximitor sensors. This ensures consistent linearity, temperature stability, and measurement accuracy across the entire system.
The armored cable design enhances mechanical protection, making the probe suitable for high‑vibration or physically exposed installations. When installed with the proper minimum bend radius, the probe can be interchanged with non‑XL 3300 series components without compromising performance.
Application Scenarios
-
Turbine and compressor vibration monitoring
-
Shaft displacement and axial position measurement
-
High‑vibration industrial environments requiring armored probes
-
API‑compliant machinery protection systems
-
Installations requiring backward compatibility with legacy 3300 components
FAQ
Q: Can this probe replace older 3300 series 5 mm or 8 mm probes Yes. It is backward‑compatible when installed with the correct cable bend radius.
Q: What advantages does the PPS tip provide The thicker encapsulation improves durability and protects the sensing coil from mechanical damage.
Q: Does the probe require matched calibration with its Proximitor sensor No. The 3300 XL system is designed for full interchangeability without matched component sets.
