Bently Nevada 330104-03-06-05-02-00 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probe
The Bently Nevada 330104-03-06-05-02-00 is a 3300 XL 8mm metric proximity probe. It features a 60mm case, 30mm unthreaded length, and a 0.5m cable for precision machinery monitoring.
Technical Specification Overview
The Bently Nevada 330104-03-06-05-02-00 operates as a high-precision, non-contacting displacement sensor. This metric-threaded probe functions within the 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Transducer System. It generates a high-frequency eddy current field to measure the microscopic gap between the sensor tip and a target shaft. By converting these physical changes into a proportional voltage signal, the system allows for the precise monitoring of radial vibration and axial position on critical rotating equipment.
Design and Functional Capabilities
Engineers designed this specific configuration with an M10 x 1 threaded body and a 0.5-meter integral cable. The model features a 30mm unthreaded length and a 60mm overall case length. This specific geometry allows the probe to pass through mounting brackets or housing walls while maintaining a stable position. Furthermore, the 3300 XL series offers advanced thermal stability. This ensures the sensor maintains a consistent scale factor across wide temperature ranges, which is essential during turbine startups and high-load cycles.

This reduces the risk of catastrophic asset failure and extends the interval between major overhauls.
Primary industrial applications include:
- Radial Vibration: Monitoring the dynamic movement of shafts in centrifugal pumps and compressors.
- Axial Position: Tracking the thrust displacement of rotors in high-speed steam and gas turbines.
- Keyphasor Signals: Providing a phase reference pulse to synchronize vibration data for diagnostic analysis.
Mechanical Integrity and Environmental Resilience
Bently Nevada utilizes 304 stainless steel and PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) resin to ensure survival in harsh plant conditions. This construction creates a hermetic seal that resists the ingress of moisture, lubricating oils, and process steam. Additionally, the patented ClickLoc connector technology provides a secure, vibration-resistant electrical path. This locking mechanism prevents signal attenuation often caused by mechanical oscillations in heavy industrial environments.

31000-16-10-15-030-03-02 | Bently Nevada | 31000 Proximity Probe Housing
Technical Overview
The Bently Nevada 31000-16-10-15-030-03-02 is a specialized proximity probe housing designed to physically protect a proximity probe and its integral cable within harsh industrial environments. Its primary function is to provide a secure, environmentally sealed mounting point on rotating machinery for acquiring critical vibration and position data. The housing is constructed from 304 Stainless Steel, offering robust protection against physical impact and corrosion. This specific configuration, 31000-16-10-15-030-03-02, features a 3/4-14 NPT external mounting thread for direct installation into a machine case. Internally, it accommodates a Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm or 3300 5 mm probe, which is positioned by a 1.0-inch stinger (probe sleeve). The housing facilitates the signal path from the probe tip to the Bently Nevada 3500 Monitoring System. The probe, connected via an extension cable to a Proximitor Sensor, generates a high-frequency RF signal. The resulting eddy current field is used to measure the distance to the observed conductive target. The Proximitor Sensor conditions this signal into a calibrated DC voltage proportional to the gap, which is then transmitted to a 3500/42M Proximitor/Seismic Monitor module for analysis, alarming, and machinery protection.

330192-00-28-05-00 | Bently Nevada | 3300 XL 8 mm ETR Proximity Probes
Technical Overview
The Bently Nevada 330192-00-28-05-00 is an 8 mm Extended Temperature Range (ETR) proximity probe component of the 3300 XL Proximity Transducer System. Its primary function is to perform non-contact measurement of relative displacement on rotating and reciprocating machinery. The probe operates on an eddy current principle. When paired with a 3300 XL extension cable and Proximitor Sensor, it forms a tuned oscillator circuit that emits a high-frequency radio frequency (RF) field from the probe tip. This field induces eddy currents on the surface of the observed conductive target, typically a machine shaft. The interaction between the RF field and the eddy currents results in a change in the oscillator's amplitude, which is directly proportional to the gap between the probe tip and the target. The Proximitor Sensor demodulates this RF signal into a precise DC voltage. This voltage signal is then transmitted to a monitoring system, such as the Bently Nevada 3500 Series, where it is processed to provide critical measurements including radial vibration, axial position (thrust), and rotational speed (when used in a Keyphasor configuration). The 330192-00-28-05-00 is constructed with a Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) tip and a stainless steel body, ensuring robust performance in high-temperature industrial environments.

Technical FAQ
Q: What systems is the 31000-16-05-00-100-03-02 compatible with?
A: The 31000-16-05-00-100-03-02 is an integral component of the Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximity Transducer System. This system, which includes the probe, extension cable, and a 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor, is designed for direct interface with the Bently Nevada 3500 Machinery Protection System. It is also fully compatible with the legacy 3300 monitoring system. The analog voltage output from the associated Proximitor Sensor can also be integrated with other third-party PLCs, DCS, and data acquisition systems capable of processing a -2 to -18 Vdc signal.
Q: What are the installation requirements?
A: Proper installation is critical for accurate measurement. The machine case requires a mounting hole drilled and tapped for a 3/4-14 NPT thread. An appropriate thread sealant must be applied to the housing's male NPT threads to ensure a pressure-tight seal. The housing is then threaded into the machine case and tightened. The proximity probe is inserted into the housing and its axial position is adjusted to achieve the correct DC gap voltage, typically -10 Vdc for a standard 3300 XL 8 mm probe configuration. Once the gap is set, the probe is secured within the housing using its set screws. Proper system grounding, as detailed in Bently Nevada documentation, is mandatory for signal integrity.
