Bently Nevada 330851-02-000-056-90-00-05 3300 XL 25 mm Proximity Probe

Applications

The Bently Nevada 3300 XL 25 mm proximity probe with 9-meter total length is designed for large-scale industrial installations where sensing points are located far from monitoring cabinets or control systems.

It is widely used in steam turbines, hydro turbines, compressors, generators, and other heavy rotating machinery across power generation, oil and gas, petrochemical, and heavy industrial sectors. In turbine systems, it provides continuous shaft vibration and axial displacement monitoring. In large compressor and pump systems, it supports early detection of mechanical issues such as imbalance, misalignment, and bearing wear.

It is also commonly used in distributed condition monitoring systems where long cable routing is required across wide plant layouts while maintaining stable measurement integrity.

Advantages

This proximity probe is engineered for stable and accurate performance over extended cable lengths in demanding industrial environments.

It delivers high linearity eddy current sensing for precise vibration and displacement measurement under continuous operation. The probe design provides strong resistance to electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for electrically noisy environments such as turbine halls and power stations.

It is optimized for long-term industrial use with minimal signal drift, reducing maintenance requirements and improving system availability. Full compatibility with Bently Nevada 3300 XL monitoring systems ensures seamless integration into machinery protection architectures.
