The Bently Nevada 330104-00-16-10-02-05 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probe is a precision eddy-current sensor designed for continuous, high-accuracy monitoring of shaft vibration, displacement, and position in rotating machinery.
As part of the widely used 3300 XL proximity transducer system, this probe is engineered for demanding industrial environments such as turbines, compressors, generators, and large pumps where non-contact measurement stability is critical for asset protection. The “-16” configuration typically indicates an extended probe body (around 160 mm), enabling deeper installation access in recessed machine housings. The “-10” option generally corresponds to a 1.0 m system cable, while “-02” represents a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector design for reliable signal integrity. The “-05” suffix is commonly associated with agency-approved configurations used in safety-critical industrial deployments.
