Designed for non-contact measurement of rotating machinery, this probe serves as the front-end sensor in the protection and monitoring loop. Utilizing the eddy-current principle, the probe detects relative motion between its tip and the target shaft. The resulting signal is processed by the 3300 XL Proximitor sensor, providing accurate, high-bandwidth data regarding radial vibration, axial position, and rotor speed. As an industry-standard component, the 330102 is engineered to maintain signal integrity in demanding operational conditions, including high-temperature steam and gas turbine environments. The robust 8 mm design ensures a balance between measurement range and structural sensitivity, making it the preferred choice for condition monitoring of critical turbomachinery across global industrial sectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr

It must be paired with a compatible 3300 XL Proximitor, specifically tuned for 8 mm probes. Using this probe with older legacy system components (non-XL series) will result in measurement non-linearity and calibration drift. The output signal is compatible with the Bently Nevada 3500 Machinery Protection System, providing a standardized, high-integrity data stream for vibration analysis and alarm management.
