Bently Nevada 330173-00-02-20-02-05 3300 5 mm Proximity Probe

Applications

• Installed on steam turbine bearing housings for continuous shaft vibration and position measurement in medium-distance wiring layouts

• Used in centrifugal compressor packages where the probe is mounted slightly away from the proximitor or junction box

• Applied in gearbox systems for tracking shaft movement trends and detecting early misalignment or looseness

• Used in pump assemblies where cable routing must remain controlled and free of unnecessary splices

• Used in rotating machinery protection systems where measurement points are not directly adjacent to monitoring modules

Key Advantages

• 2-meter cable length provides practical flexibility for typical industrial machine layouts

• Eddy current sensing ensures stable, non-contact measurement of shaft vibration and displacement

• Suitable for installations where probe and signal conditioning equipment are separated by a short distance

• Factory-terminated design reduces field wiring work and improves installation repeatability

• Shielded construction helps maintain signal stability in electrically noisy industrial environments

• Fully compatible with Bently Nevada 3300 proximity measurement system

Technical FAQs
