Bently Nevada 330105-02-10-02-00 Proximity Probe – Non‑contact shaft vibration and position sensing for 3300 XL systems

The Bently Nevada 330105-02-10-02-00 is a 3300 XL series proximity probe designed for stable, non-contact displacement measurement on rotating machinery. From my experience, this model is typically paired with a matching 3300 XL extension cable and Proximitor sensor to deliver reliable gap and vibration signals into your protection or condition monitoring system. If you run turbines, compressors, critical pumps, or large fans, you’ll appreciate the long-term stability and drop-in compatibility that Bently probes are known for.

Company’s Order Placement Process and Guarantees

Key Features

• 3300 XL platform compatible: Works with the standard Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximitor sensor and extension cable for consistent system accuracy.
• Non-contact displacement sensing: Measures shaft vibration and position without physical contact, minimizing wear and drift.
• Stable scale factor: Factory-calibrated pairing (probe + cable + Proximitor) provides predictable output in most installations.
• Robust industrial build: Shielded construction and proven tip design help resist electrical noise and harsh environments.
• Flexible routing: Coaxial lead with secure connectors supports tidy cable management in crowded panels or tight machine spaces.
• Traceable spare: Genuine Bently Nevada part number for like-for-like replacements and easier maintenance recordkeeping.

Technical Specifications

Application Fields

Typically used on:

• Gas and steam turbines for radial vibration and axial position
• Centrifugal and reciprocating compressors in API/critical services
• Process pumps and blowers where non-contact measurement improves uptime
• Large motors, generators, and gearboxes for condition monitoring

One thing I appreciate is how forgiving the 3300 XL setup can be in real plants. A maintenance lead at a refinery told me they swapped three probes of this series during a turnaround and were back online without recalibrating the entire channel—just verified gap voltage and moved on.

Advantages & Value

• Reliability: The 3300 XL architecture is proven in high-vibration, high-temperature environments.
• Compatibility: Drop-in fit with 3300 XL Proximitor sensors and monitors—no re-engineering.
• Lower lifecycle cost: Stable calibration over time typically reduces rework and unplanned shutdowns.
• Technical support: We can help confirm option codes, system length matching, and gap setup, which seems to be where many teams want a quick double-check.

Installation & Maintenance

• Mounting: Install the probe with its locknut in a rigid bracket or machine casing; keep the tip normal to the shaft surface.
• Gap setting: Set the DC gap using the Proximitor output; a mid-range gap voltage is typically recommended for best linearity.
• Cable routing: Use continuous runs, avoid sharp bends, and keep away from high-voltage cables to reduce noise.
• Environment: Ensure the enclosure or cabinet allows ventilation for associated electronics; standard industrial control cabinet practices apply.
• Maintenance: Periodically check probe tip cleanliness, verify gap voltage, and inspect connectors; firmware updates apply to the monitoring system, not the probe.
• Safety: Lockout/tagout rotating equipment before any adjustment; confirm target material compatibility for correct calibration.

Quality & Certifications

• Manufacturer quality system typically aligned to ISO 9001
• CE conformity and RoHS compliance for most 3300 XL transducer components
• Warranty: 365-day coverage from our shipment date

Related and Supporting Components

• 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor (matching 5 mm/8 mm series, depending on probe selection)
• Bently Nevada 330130 Extension Cable (length selected to achieve the required 5 m or 9 m system length)
• Monitor channels for vibration/position in Bently Nevada racks or compatible protection systems

Note: Option codes define exact mechanical details and tip configuration. If you share the full string 330105-02-10-02-00 during ordering, we’ll verify lead length, system length, and mating hardware so it arrives ready to install.
