Unlike standard 8 mm probes, the NSv series is designed for small-shaft rotating machinery where physical space is at a premium and high-frequency resolution is required to capture accurate vibration and axial position data. By utilizing sophisticated eddy-current induction, this probe monitors the air gap between its tip and the shaft surface, providing reliable, non-contact feedback in applications where traditional transducers would be too bulky or lack the necessary sensitivity for small-clearance rotors. Its compact design ensures that engineers can implement robust machinery protection even on high-speed spindles, small industrial gearboxes, and micro-turbines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"firstRow\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eModel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e330901-00-10-10-02-00\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrand\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBently Nevada\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProbe Diameter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e5 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLinear Range\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1.5 mm (60 mil)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e0.28 kg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e30 x 25 x 10 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOperating Temperature\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-35 deg C to +177 deg C\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTip Material\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePolyphenylene Sulfide (PPS)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCase Material\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAISI 303 Stainless Steel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eConnector Type\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMiniature Coaxial\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSensitivity\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e7.87 V\/mm (200 mV\/mil)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eModel Configuration Explanation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 330901-00-10-10-02-00 part number follows the standard Bently Nevada configuration hierarchy:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-paddingleft-2\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e00: Unthreaded length (0 mm).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10: Overall case length (100 mm) – Defining the physical housing dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10: Total length (1.0 meter) – Specifies the factory-integrated cable length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e02: Connector type (Miniature coaxial) – Standard interface for NSv systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e00: Agency approval (Standard) – Indicates compliance for non-hazardous industrial environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3300 NSv system is the industry choice for challenging, small-scale monitoring scenarios:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-paddingleft-2\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-Speed Spindles: Monitoring runout and vibration in precision machining centers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall Gas\/Steam Turbines: Ideal for auxiliary equipment where bearing housings have limited probe access.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMicro-Turbines and Blowers: Providing stable data on smaller shaft diameters that would otherwise be difficult to instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExperimental Research: Used in test stands to evaluate small-rotor dynamics where sensitivity and precision are paramount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGearbox Monitoring: Detecting shaft displacement in close-clearance gear arrangements where space for 8 mm probes is physically unavailable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSystem Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 330901 probe is an integral part of the Bently Nevada 3300 NSv Transducer System. It is essential to pair this probe with a matching 3300 NSv Proximitor sensor. Because the NSv system is specifically tuned for different inductance and frequency response characteristics compared to the 3300 XL (8 mm) system, components are not cross-compatible. Using this probe with an incorrect Proximitor will cause significant measurement errors and potentially lead to false machine trips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Guidelines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-paddingleft-2\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-Mounting Inspection: Verify that the mounting hole is properly bored and threaded to accept the probe without side-loading the tip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrecision Gapping: Use a feeler gauge to establish the gap.
