The Bently Nevada 330104-08-16-20-02-05 proximity probe is a high-reliability eddy-current sensor designed for continuous, non-contact measurement of shaft vibration, radial displacement, and rotor position in critical rotating machinery.
As part of the widely adopted 3300 XL 8 mm proximity transducer system, this probe is engineered for industrial environments where measurement stability, signal accuracy, and long-term operational durability are essential. It is commonly used in condition monitoring and machinery protection systems across power generation, oil and gas, petrochemical, and heavy industrial sectors.
The “08-16-20” configuration typically represents an extended system arrangement suited for larger machinery layouts or installations requiring additional reach and routing flexibility. The “-02-05” suffix generally indicates a standardized connector system combined with a configuration or regional packaging variant used in industrial deployments.
