Engineered for high-stakes industrial environments, this eddy-current transducer is the industry standard for non-contact monitoring of critical turbomachinery. It provides essential feedback on dynamic and static shaft displacement, making it a foundation for protecting centrifugal compressors, steam turbines, and large-scale hydroelectric generators from catastrophic failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the core of the 330103 series is a commitment to signal precision. By converting the distance between the probe tip and a conductive target into a linear electrical output, this sensor enables control systems and vibration monitoring servers to analyze rotor dynamics, shaft centerline position, and vibration frequency. Its construction—featuring a durable polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip and a ruggedized stainless steel housing—ensures that the sensor survives the intense heat and high-pressure oil environments typically found in lubrication oil sumps.\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\u003e330103-00-05-10-11-00\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\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\u003eShipping Box Dimensions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e25.00 x 20.00 x 10.00 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProbe Tip 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 or 304 Stainless Steel\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-51 deg C to +177 deg C\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\u003e2 mm (80 mils)\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\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTotal System Length\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1.0 meter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMiniature coaxial ClickLoc connector\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAgency Approval\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNot Required\/Standard\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 part number 330103-00-05-10-11-00 provides specific mechanical parameters:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-paddingleft-2\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e330103: 8 mm 3300 XL Proximity Probe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e00: Unthreaded length (0 mm, indicating full threads on the case).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e05: Overall case length (50 mm).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10: Total system length (1.0 meter).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e11: Connector type (Miniature ClickLoc).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e00: Agency approval (Standard\/No hazardous area requirements).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis probe is widely utilized across sectors where equipment uptime is critical:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-paddingleft-2\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower Generation: Monitoring shaft axial position and radial vibration in utility-scale turbines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOil \u0026amp; Gas: Ensuring reliability in centrifugal gas compressors and high-pressure pumping trains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufacturing: Tracking dynamic alignment in high-speed gearboxes and mill drives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eR\u0026amp;D and Testing: Utilizing high-frequency response capabilities for rotor dynamics model validation and modal analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSystem Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 330103-00-05-10-11-00 is a component of the 3300 XL transducer loop.
