SKU: 330104-01-08-50-01-CN
Bently Nevada 330104-01-08-50-01-CN 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probe
The Bently Nevada 330104-01-08-50-01-CN is a high-performance 3300 XL 8mm proximity probe designed for critical machinery protection. Featuring a 3/8-24 UNF thread and specialized “-CN” certification, it provides accurate non-contact vibration and position data for turbines, compressors, and pumps in harsh industrial environments.
Technical Functionality
The Bently Nevada 330104-01-08-50-01-CN serves as a specialized eddy current sensor designed for non-contacting vibration and displacement measurements. This probe detects the relative position and dynamic motion of a rotating shaft by generating a high-frequency electromagnetic field. When the shaft moves, it creates eddy currents that alter the probe’s impedance, which the Proximitor Sensor then converts into an accurate voltage signal. Because it utilizes the 3300 XL platform, this transducer provides superior scale factor stability and remains highly resistant to temperature-induced drift.
Operational Durability
Engineers designed this specific probe model to excel in the most volatile industrial environments. The 330104 series features a ruggedized construction that prevents moisture ingress and resists damage from corrosive lubrication fluids. Furthermore, the “-CN” designation indicates compliance with specific regional certifications, ensuring the unit meets rigorous safety and performance standards for localized markets. By utilizing a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) probe tip and a stainless steel body, the sensor maintains long-term structural integrity even when subjected to high-pressure conditions within machinery housings.
Key Technical Characteristics
Sensor Head: 8 mm diameter tip optimized for standard radial vibration and axial thrust measurements.
