Bently Nevada 330101-00-65-10-11 – 8mm Eddy Current Proximity Probe | 3300 XL Platform
Engineering Background
The Bently Nevada 3300 XL proximity probe system is the global benchmark for continuous shaft vibration and position monitoring in rotating machinery. Developed by Baker Hughes (Bently Nevada), the 3300 XL series employs non-contact eddy current technology to deliver real-time radial vibration, axial position, and differential expansion data critical to turbomachinery protection and predictive maintenance programs.
Product Positioning
The 330101-00-65-10-11 is an 8mm diameter, 65 cm (25.6 in) armored cable proximity probe designed for direct integration into Bently Nevada 3300 XL monitoring systems. It is the preferred choice for procurement engineers specifying OEM-equivalent replacement sensors in gas turbines, steam turbines, compressors, and large rotating equipment where API 670 compliance is mandatory.

- High temperature tolerance – Rated to +177 °C for hot-section turbine bearing housings
- OEM form-factor compatibility – Direct drop-in replacement for existing 3300 XL installations; no re-calibration of the monitoring system required when replacing like-for-like
- Armored cable construction – Stainless steel braid protects against mechanical damage, oil, and chemical exposure in harsh plant environments
- API 670 compliant – Meets the international standard for machinery protection systems
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The 330101-00-65-10-11 probe operates as part of a three-component eddy current measurement chain:
- Proximity Probe (330101-00-65-10-11) – Generates a high-frequency electromagnetic field at the probe tip; eddy currents induced in the target shaft modulate the field proportional to gap distance.
- Extension Cable (330130 series) – Transmits the modulated RF signal from the probe to the proximitor; total system cable length must be matched to the proximitor calibration (typically 5 m or 9 m system).
- Proximitor / Signal Conditioner (3300 XL NSv) – Demodulates the RF signal and outputs a DC voltage (–2 V to –22 V) proportional to probe gap; feeds directly into Bently Nevada 3500 or System 1 monitoring racks.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the 330101-00-65-10-11 compatible with the Bently Nevada 3500 monitoring rack?
A: Yes. When paired with a 3300 XL NSv proximitor and appropriate extension cable, the output signal is fully compatible with 3500 series monitor cards.
Q: Can this probe be used with non-steel target materials?
A: The standard calibration is for AISI 4140 steel. For titanium, aluminum, or other alloys, a material-specific calibration curve must be applied. Contact us for calibration data sheets.
Q: What is the total system cable length for this probe?
A: The integral cable is 65 cm. Total system length (probe + extension cable) must match the proximitor calibration — typically 5 m or 9 m. Select the correct 330130-XX extension cable accordingly.
Q: Do you provide a certificate of conformance?
A: Yes, a certificate of conformance and inspection report are available upon request at no additional charge.
Q: What is the lead time for this part?
A: In-stock units ship within 1–3 business days. For out-of-stock inquiries, typical lead time is 2–4 weeks. Contact us for real-time availability.
