As a core element of the 3300 XL Transducer System, this probe provides critical feedback on shaft stability and position in high-speed rotating machinery. The sensor generates an output voltage signal directly proportional to the gap between the probe tip and the target material, allowing for sub-micron accuracy in monitoring. Designed for maximum reliability, it complies with API 670 standards and features full interchangeability, which means probes, extension cables, and Proximitor sensors can be swapped without the need for manual bench calibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHardware Architecture and Physical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-paddingleft-2\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTip Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e8 mm High-Resolution Core\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThread Configuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e3\/8-24 UNF Imperial Thread\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnthreaded Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e0.0 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e4.0 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated Lead Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e0.5 Meters (approx. 1.6 feet)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnector Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eGold-plated ClickLoc Miniature Coaxial\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNet Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e0.06 kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm Factor:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e1.8 cm x 1.6 cm x 123 cm (Uncoiled total)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale Factor:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e7.87 V\/mm (200 mV\/mil)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePolyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) molded tip for thermal and chemical resistance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIndustrial Deployment and Machinery Protection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFluid-Film Bearing Analysis\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 330102-00-40-05-02-00 is the industry standard for monitoring radial vibration in centrifugal compressors and pumps.

By sensing the movement of a shaft collar, the system prevents catastrophic contact between rotating and stationary internal components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTachometer and Speed Sensing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond vibration, this probe is frequently utilized for Keyphasor measurements. By observing a notch or keyway on the shaft, it provides a once-per-revolution pulse essential for speed calculation and phase reference in diagnostic analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarsh Environment Resilience\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe probe is designed to operate while submerged in oil or exposed to industrial fluids.

The 3300 XL 8 mm probe is designed to be backward compatible with non-XL 3300 series Proximitor sensors and extension cables, though maximum performance is achieved when used within a full XL-series system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What is the benefit of the ClickLoc connector on this model?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The ClickLoc connector features a positive-locking mechanism that prevents the connection from vibrating loose. The gold-plated contacts ensure high conductivity and resistance to corrosion in humid or chemically aggressive environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Do I need to calibrate this specific probe to its corresponding Proximitor?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: No. All 3300 XL 8 mm components are manufactured to strict tolerances that allow for complete interchangeability. This eliminates the need for field or bench calibration when replacing a damaged sensor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can this probe be used in hazardous area locations?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Yes, as part of the 3300 XL system, this probe typically carries global approvals including CSA, ATEX, and IECEx for use in intrinsically safe or non-incendive environments when used with the appropriate barriers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What happens if I use a 0.5-meter probe with a 9-meter system extension cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The total system electrical length must match the Proximitor calibration (usually 5.0m or 9.0m). If the combined length of the probe lead and extension cable does not match the Proximitor's requirements, the measurement accuracy and scale factor will be compromised.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bently Nevada","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45518915207341,"sku":"330102-00-40-05-02-00","price":199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/1613\/9181\/files\/bently-nevada-330102-00-40-05-02-00-proximity-probes-j5fao24plu3.jpg?v=1766981558","url":"https:\/\/www.maxwellplc.com\/products\/bently-nevada-330102-00-40-05-02-00-proximity-probe-3300-xl-8-mm-sensor","provider":"Maxwell PLC Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
