Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probe 330101-00-27-10-02-00

The Bently Nevada 330101-00-27-10-02-00 is a 3300 XL 8mm proximity probe featuring a 2.7-inch case and 1.0-meter total length. Engineered for high-temperature environments up to 218°C, this non-contact sensor provides precision vibration and displacement monitoring for critical rotating industrial machinery.

Technical Overview

The Bently Nevada 330101-00-27-10-02-00 is a high-performance 8mm proximity probe designed for the 3300 XL Transducer System. This specific configuration operates as an eddy current sensor, primarily utilized for non-contacting vibration and displacement measurements on fluid-film bearing machines. By leveraging advanced induction technology, the probe delivers precise data regarding shaft position and dynamic motion, which is essential for rotating machinery protection and condition monitoring.

Core Functions and Capabilities

The 330101 series probe excels in demanding environments due to its ruggedized construction. It provides a linear output signal proportional to the distance between the probe tip and the observed conductive target. Furthermore, this model supports Extended Temperature Range (ETR) functionality. While standard probes are limited to lower thermal thresholds, the ETR-capable components in this system maintain structural integrity and signal accuracy at temperatures reaching 218°C (425°F). Consequently, this allows for reliable data collection in heat-intensive zones where conventional sensors typically degrade.

Configuration and System Integration

  • Tip Diameter: 8 mm
  • Thread Type: 3/8-24 UNF threads
  • Unthreaded Length: 0.0 inches
  • Overall Case Length: 2.7 inches
  • Total Length: 1.0 meter (3.3 feet)
  • Connector Option: Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with connector protector
  • Agency Approval: Multiple hazardous area certifications available

Industrial Applications

The 330101-00-27-10-02-00 is frequently integrated into Turbomachinery Instrumentation (TSI) systems. Maintenance engineers deploy these probes within gas turbines, steam turbines, and large-scale centrifugal compressors. Because the sensor is compatible with the standard 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor, it allows for seamless upgrades to existing monitoring frameworks. The probe effectively tracks axial thrust, radial vibration, and eccentricity, providing the necessary inputs for automated machinery shutdown systems to prevent catastrophic mechanical failure.
