The model 330104-00-06-50-02-00 is an 8 mm proximity probe that delivers continuous measurement of shaft position, eccentricity, and vibration on turbines and compressors, helping prevent failures and extend machine life.

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330104-00-06-50-02-00 is a 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe manufactured in the USA. It is a non-contact, eddy-current sensor designed for precision vibration and displacement monitoring in critical industrial rotating machinery.

Model Number Breakdown

The model number 330104-00-06-50-02-00 is broken down as follows. The base model is 330104, which is a 3300 XL 8 mm Probe with M10 x 1 thread and armor. The suffix -00 indicates an unthreaded length of 0 mm. The suffix -06 specifies an overall case length of 60 mm. The suffix -50 means the total length of the probe and cable is 5.0 meters, or 16.4 feet. The suffix -02 denotes a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with a standard cable. Finally, the suffix -00 means no special agency approval is required for this model.

Industry Applications

The Bently Nevada 330104-00-06-50-02-00 proximity probe is widely used in heavy industries that require continuous machinery condition monitoring. In the oil and gas industry, it is found on refineries, pipelines, and offshore platforms. In power generation, it is used on steam turbines, gas turbines, and generators. In the chemical and petrochemical sector, it monitors compressors, pumps, and other critical rotating equipment. Other industries that rely on this probe include mining and cement for large crushers and mills, as well as the paper and marine industries for roll grinders and propulsion machinery.

Importance and Why It Matters

The 3300 XL Series represents Bently Nevada’s industry-standard solution for machinery protection. This probe enables predictive maintenance by detecting early signs of shaft vibration, axial position, and eccentricity before a catastrophic failure can occur. The key advantages of this model include non-contact eddy-current technology for wear-free operation, triple-certified ISO 9001:2015 quality assurance, interchangeability with non-XL 3300 series components, and a Viton O-ring seal for differential pressure protection in harsh environments. For plant operators and maintenance engineers, investing in a genuine Bently Nevada proximity probe ensures maximum machine uptime, reduces unplanned outages, and extends the life of critical equipment.
