The Bently Nevada 330101-00-15-10-01-00, also cataloged as the 330101 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe, operates as a dedicated hardware component for non-contact shaft displacement measurement within Bently Nevada 3300 XL monitoring systems.

Model Configuration Details

The 330101-00-15-10-01-00 model integrates the 3300 XL 8 mm probe design with a 3/8-24 UNF thread, 1.0 meter standard cable length, and miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector. The configuration is designed for direct connection with compatible proximity signal conditioning modules.

Eddy-Current Signal Measurement Characteristics

The Bently Nevada 330101-00-15-10-01-00 uses eddy-current sensing technology to measure relative shaft displacement. The probe generates an electromagnetic field at the target surface and provides proportional displacement information through the connected proximity monitoring electronics.

The 3300 XL probe design supports gap voltage validation with standard Bently Nevada proximity systems. Correct probe positioning maintains the expected electrical gap range and ensures accurate vibration and position signal acquisition.

The probe assembly is configured for rotor dynamics monitoring applications where shaft movement, radial vibration, and mechanical clearance measurements are required.
