Description
Bently Nevada 330103-00-05-15-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe Full Technical Profile
Core Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada 330103-00-05-15-02-00 is a compact footprint 3300 XL 8 mm standard proximity probe, purpose-engineered for industrial machinery monitoring scenarios with extremely limited installation space that cannot accommodate full-size 8 mm probes. As a fully interoperable member of Bently Nevada’s industry-proven 3300 XL ecosystem, it delivers consistent 7.87 V/mm linear measurement performance, and natively integrates seamlessly with your existing Bently Nevada 3500 series machinery protection modules, forming a complete API 670 compliant vibration and shaft position monitoring solution for critical rotating equipment.

Key Product Features
- Ultra-Compact Footprint: The reduced probe body and 1/4-28 UNF thread design fits into tight installation locations where standard 8 mm probes cannot be mounted, solving space constraint challenges on small high-speed rotating machinery.
- Full 3300 XL Interoperability: No individual component pre-calibration required, directly compatible with all Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm Proximitor sensors and 3500 series monitoring modules you previously researched.
- Rugged Industrial Design: 316 stainless steel housing and FEP insulated cable deliver excellent corrosion resistance, supporting 7×24 hours continuous operation in harsh industrial environments.
- Hazardous Area Certified: Full set of global explosion-proof approvals, safe for deployment in Zone 1 and Zone 2 explosive hazardous locations in refineries and petrochemical facilities.
- Vibration-Resistant Connection: The dedicated Miniature ClickLoc™ coaxial connector prevents accidental disconnection even under high vibration operating conditions.
Professional Installation Guidelines
- Confirm the target rotating machinery is in full locked-out/tagged-out shutdown status before installation, select a mounting position perpendicular to the clean, uncoated shaft surface to avoid measurement distortion.
- Thread the compact probe into the pre-drilled 1/4-28 UNF mounting hole, adjust the initial mechanical gap to set the gap voltage to -10 V DC ± 1 V for optimal linear working range, then tighten the lock nut securely.
- Route the 1.5 m integral probe cable separately from high-voltage power cables, avoid sharp bends with radius less than 25 mm, connect the ClickLoc™ connector tightly to the matched extension cable.
- Power on the Bently Nevada 3500 monitoring rack, verify the gap voltage reading on the corresponding 3500/42M or 3500/32M module is stable, then perform a full TK-3 calibration validation before formal production operation.
Application Scenarios
This compact proximity probe is widely deployed on small high-speed turbines, turbo-expanders, high-speed centrifugal pumps, small industrial compressors and auxiliary rotating equipment in power plants, oil refineries, petrochemical facilities and offshore platforms. It is the ideal solution for measurement points with strict space limitations that cannot fit standard full-size 8 mm probes, fully meeting API 670 industrial machinery protection standard requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What does the “15” suffix in the part number represent?
A: The “15” suffix indicates the integral probe cable length is 1.5 meters (5 ft). - Q: What is the probe thread specification?
A: The probe uses 1/4-28 UNF fine thread, corresponding to the “05” suffix in the part number. - Q: Can this probe work with my existing 3500 series monitoring system?
A: Yes, it is natively fully compatible with all Bently Nevada 3500 series machinery protection modules, no extra signal conversion hardware is needed. - Q: What is the maximum continuous operating temperature of the probe tip?
A: The probe tip supports continuous operation up to +175°C, suitable for most general industrial rotating machinery measurement points.
