Part of the industry-standard 3300 XL Transducer System, this probe is specifically engineered for environments where mechanical protection is a priority. It features a robust armored cable to prevent abrasions and fluid ingress in heavy-duty machinery. By utilizing an eddy current sensing principle, it provides critical data on shaft position and radial vibration for Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation (TSI) systems. This module is fully interchangeable with other 3300 XL components, eliminating the need for tedious bench calibration or component matching during field replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEngineering Specifications and Hardware Parameters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-paddingleft-2\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProbe Tip Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e8mm high-performance sensing tip\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase Threading:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eM10 x 1 metric thread configuration\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCable Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eIntegrated stainless steel armor for superior durability\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Cable Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e8.0 Meters (approx. 26.2 feet)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnector Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMiniature coaxial ClickLoc with gold-plated brass contacts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMolded Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) tip for thermal stability\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 (Sensor only) \/ 0.12 kg (Shipping weight)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhysical Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e1.8 cm x 1.6 cm x 123 cm (Total uncoiled profile)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eStandard 80 mil (2.0 mm) linear range\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSafety Approvals:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCSA, ATEX, and IECEx certified for hazardous area use\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStrategic Industrial Implementations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHydrocarbon Processing and Refining\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 330104-01-08-50-01-05 is extensively used in centrifugal compressors and large pumps within refineries.

Depending on your system configuration (5-meter or 9-meter total), you must ensure it is paired with the corresponding Proximitor. Typically, an 8-meter probe is used with a 1-meter Proximitor to reach a 9-meter system total.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What is the benefit of the armored coating on the sensor cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The stainless steel armor provides a physical barrier against crushing, kinking, and abrasion. It also helps prevent chemical degradation of the internal fluoropolymer insulation in environments with heavy oil or solvent exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is it necessary to calibrate the probe to the Proximitor sensor before installation?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: No. One of the primary advantages of the 3300 XL 8mm system is complete interchangeability. Any 3300 XL probe can be used with any 3300 XL extension cable and Proximitor without re-calibration, provided the total electrical length is correct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can this probe be used to measure speed or just vibration?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: It can do both. While primarily used for vibration and position, it is frequently employed as a Keyphasor or tachometer sensor by detecting a notch or projection on the rotating shaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How does the PPS plastic tip improve the probe's lifespan?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) is a high-performance thermoplastic that is highly resistant to chemical attack and can withstand higher operating temperatures than standard epoxy tips, preventing the sensing coil from shifting or failing over time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bently Nevada","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45518915567789,"sku":"330104-01-08-50-01-05","price":199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/1613\/9181\/files\/bently-nevada-330104-01-08-50-01-05-proximity-probes-qy3ljmriyzr.jpg?v=1766981568","url":"https:\/\/www.maxwellplc.com\/products\/bently-nevada-330104-01-08-50-01-05-proximity-probe-3300-xl-8mm-armored-sensor","provider":"Maxwell PLC Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
