The Bently Nevada 330104-00-16-05-02-00 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probe is a precision eddy-current sensor designed for high-accuracy monitoring of shaft vibration, displacement, and position in rotating machinery.
As part of the 3300 XL proximity transducer system, this model is widely applied in turbines, compressors, generators, and industrial pumps where stable, non-contact measurement is essential for reliable machine protection. The “-16” configuration indicates an extended probe body design (approximately 160 mm case length), providing enhanced mechanical reach for recessed or deep-mount installations. The “-05” option typically represents a longer system cable configuration, making it suitable for installations where the sensing point is physically separated from the monitoring electronics.
This probe is engineered for continuous-duty industrial environments where long-term stability, interchangeability, and measurement accuracy are critical.
