Bently Nevada 330101-00-14-10-02-00 – Eddy Current Proximity Sensor | 3300 XL Series Platform
Engineering Background
The Bently Nevada 3300 XL Series represents the industry benchmark for non-contact shaft vibration and position measurement in rotating machinery. Developed by Baker Hughes (Bently Nevada), this platform has been deployed across power generation, oil & gas, petrochemical, and heavy industrial facilities worldwide for over three decades. The 330101-00-14-10-02-00 is a precision eddy current proximity sensor engineered for continuous, real-time monitoring of radial shaft vibration, axial position, and differential expansion in critical turbomachinery.
Product Positioning
This sensor is the primary field element in the 3300 XL transducer system, working in conjunction with the 330130 extension cable and 330180 proximitor/oscillator to deliver a calibrated, linear output signal. It is the preferred choice for OEM integrators, plant reliability engineers, and MRO procurement teams requiring API 670-compliant vibration monitoring solutions.

- 316L SS Construction — Corrosion-resistant housing withstands oil mist, process gases, and washdown environments
- API 670 Compliant — Drop-in replacement for existing 3300 XL installations; no recalibration required when matched with OEM proximitor
- Plug-and-Play System Integration — Direct compatibility with Bently Nevada 3500 Series rack monitors and System 1 software
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The 330101-00-14-10-02-00 operates as the field element within a three-component transducer system:
- Proximity Probe (330101-00-14-10-02-00) — Generates eddy current field; converts gap distance to raw impedance change
- Extension Cable (330130 Series) — Transmits signal from probe to proximitor; total system cable length must match calibration (typically 5 m or 9 m)
- Proximitor / Oscillator (330180 Series) — Conditions signal; outputs -24 VDC biased voltage proportional to gap (scale: 200 mV/mil)
Output signal feeds directly into Bently Nevada 3500/40M or 3500/42M monitor modules for alarm, danger, and trip logic processing.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the 330101-00-14-10-02-00 compatible with the Bently Nevada 3500 monitoring rack?
A: Yes. When paired with the correct 330180 proximitor and matched extension cable, this probe delivers a calibrated output fully compatible with all 3500 Series monitor modules.
Q: What does the part number suffix “-00-14-10-02-00” indicate?
A: The suffix encodes configuration details: probe tip diameter (8 mm), integral cable length (14 in / ~0.35 m to connector), thread type (M10×1.0), and housing/connector options. Always verify the full part number when ordering to ensure system compatibility.
Q: Can this sensor be used on non-steel target materials?
A: The standard calibration is optimized for AISI 4140 steel. Use on other materials (Inconel, titanium, aluminum) requires a material correction factor or a custom-calibrated proximitor. Contact our engineering team for guidance.
Q: Do you offer expedited shipping for emergency plant shutdowns?
A: Yes. Contact [email protected] or call +0086 19859288691 to arrange same-day dispatch for in-stock units.
Q: Is a Certificate of Conformance included?
A: CoC is available upon request at no additional charge. Please specify at time of order.
