The Bently Nevada 330104-16-21-05-01-05 proximity probe is a high-precision eddy-current sensor designed for continuous, non-contact measurement of shaft vibration, radial displacement, and rotor position in rotating machinery.
Built on the proven 3300 XL 8 mm proximity transducer platform, this probe is engineered for industrial environments where long-term signal stability, measurement accuracy, and strong resistance to electromagnetic interference are essential for reliable machinery protection and condition monitoring.
The “16-21-05” configuration typically represents a specialized extended probe assembly designed for demanding installation layouts where routing flexibility and mechanical stability are critical. The “-01-05” suffix generally indicates a standard connector configuration combined with a specific assembly or regional variant used in certain industrial deployment requirements.
