Bently Nevada 330101-00-15-10-01-05 Eddy Current Proximity Probe – 3300 XL 8mm Series
Imagine a high-speed turbine running at 10,000 RPM with no shaft vibration feedback. A bearing failure begins as a microscopic imbalance — invisible to the naked eye, silent until catastrophic. Without a precision proximity probe in the loop, the first sign of trouble is often a multi-million-dollar unplanned shutdown. The Bently Nevada 330101-00-15-10-01-05 eliminates that blind spot, delivering continuous, non-contact shaft displacement data that keeps your rotating machinery protected around the clock.
Within the 3300 XL Series — Bently Nevada’s gold standard for machinery protection — the 330101-00-15-10-01-05 occupies a critical position as the 8mm eddy current probe optimized for general-purpose radial and axial vibration measurement. Trusted by petrochemical plants, power generation facilities, and OEM turbomachinery builders across six continents, this probe is specified by name in API 670 machinery protection standards and remains one of the most widely deployed proximity sensors in industrial automation history.

Key Features & Benefits
- Non-Contact Measurement: Eddy current technology eliminates mechanical wear, ensuring probe longevity exceeding 20 years in continuous service.
- DC to 10 kHz Bandwidth: Captures both slow-roll runout and high-frequency vibration events in a single sensor — no range switching required.
- API 670 Compliant: Drop-in compatible with existing 3300 XL monitoring systems; no recalibration of the monitor required when replacing like-for-like.
- Armored Cable Construction: Stainless steel armor protects against mechanical damage in harsh plant environments including high-pressure steam and chemical splash zones.
- Wide Temperature Range: Rated to 177°C, suitable for hot-section installations near compressor casings and steam turbine bearing pedestals.
- System Interoperability: Fully compatible with 3300 XL extension cables and 3300 XL proximitor/oscillator drivers — maintains factory-calibrated sensitivity across the complete probe system.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: Is the 330101-00-15-10-01-05 compatible with the Bently Nevada 3500 monitoring rack?
- A: Yes. When paired with the correct 3300 XL Proximitor and extension cable, this probe integrates directly with the 3500 Series Machinery Protection System without additional calibration.
- Q: What is the difference between the 330101 and 330103 probe series?
- A: The 330101 series uses a standard armored cable construction, while the 330103 series features a high-temperature cable jacket rated for more extreme thermal environments. For most standard turbomachinery applications, the 330101 is the correct choice.
- Q: Can this probe measure axial position as well as radial vibration?
- A: Yes. The 3300 XL 8mm probe system supports both radial vibration and axial (thrust) position measurement depending on installation orientation and the monitor channel configuration.
- Q: Do you provide a warranty on surplus or refurbished units?
- A: We offer a 90-day functional warranty on all units shipped. Please contact us for extended warranty options on new-in-box stock.
- Q: How long does international shipping take?
- A: Standard international express delivery is 5–10 business days depending on destination. Expedited options are available upon request.
