The Bently Nevada 330104-00-03-05-11-05 Proximity Probe Module is a premium vibration and position monitoring sensor developed for critical rotating equipment operating in demanding industrial and hazardous environments. As part of the proven 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System, this model combines exceptional measurement accuracy, rugged construction, and advanced cable protection technology to support reliable machinery protection programs.
This configuration features a 30 mm probe case length, 0.5-meter system length, FluidLoc cable technology, and multiple hazardous-area certifications, making it particularly suitable for applications where environmental sealing, safety compliance, and long-term reliability are essential. The FluidLoc design helps prevent oil and process fluids from migrating through the cable assembly, while the certified design supports installation in regulated industrial locations.
Widely used in turbines, compressors, pumps, generators, and process machinery, the probe delivers continuous non-contact measurement of shaft vibration and position, enabling maintenance teams to detect developing faults early and optimize equipment performance.
