Bently Nevada 330101-39-67-10-12-05 – Eddy Current Proximity Probe | 3300 XL 8mm Series
Engineering Background
The Bently Nevada 3300 XL series represents the industry benchmark for non-contact shaft vibration and position measurement in rotating machinery. Developed under Baker Hughes (formerly GE Bently Nevada), this platform is the de facto standard in API 670-compliant machinery protection systems worldwide. The 330101 proximity probe is the primary sensing element of this ecosystem, converting mechanical displacement into a precise electrical signal for continuous condition monitoring.
Product Positioning
The 330101-39-67-10-12-05 is an 8mm eddy current proximity probe configured for a 1000 mm (39-inch) armored extension cable, 67-inch (1700 mm) integral cable, 10-32 UNF reverse-mount thread, 12-inch (305 mm) probe body, and standard 5-meter system cable. It is engineered for procurement engineers and reliability teams requiring a drop-in replacement or new installation in turbines, compressors, pumps, and gearboxes operating under API 670 / ISO 10816 standards.

- High Temperature Tolerance – Rated to +177°C, compatible with bearing housing installations adjacent to hot process fluids
- Armored Extension Cable – Stainless steel armor provides mechanical protection in high-vibration, high-pressure environments
- API 670 Compliant – Meets the mandatory machinery protection standard for critical rotating equipment in oil & gas
- Direct 3500 Rack Compatibility – Plug-and-play integration with Bently Nevada 3500 Series monitors; no signal conditioning adapters required
- Reverse-Mount Thread – 10-32 UNF reverse thread prevents probe backing out under vibration, ensuring stable gap setting
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The 330101-39-67-10-12-05 operates as the sensing element within a three-component transducer system:
- Proximity Probe (330101-XX) → Generates high-frequency electromagnetic field (1.0 MHz nominal); detects eddy current losses induced in the target shaft surface.
- Extension Cable (330130-XX) → Transmits the demodulated signal from the probe tip to the driver module with minimal signal degradation; armored construction isolates from EMI.
- Driver / Oscillator-Demodulator (330180-XX) → Converts the raw oscillator signal into a calibrated DC voltage output (–2 to –22 VDC); feeds directly into the 3500 monitor rack or DCS analog input card.
The output signal is a linear DC voltage proportional to the gap between probe tip and target surface, enabling real-time displacement measurement with ±1% full-scale accuracy.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the 330101-39-67-10-12-05 compatible with the Bently Nevada 3500/42M monitor?
A: Yes. The 3300 XL probe system is fully compatible with the 3500 Series monitor rack when used with the appropriate 330180 driver. Verify the driver gap voltage range matches your installation gap.
Q: What is the correct installation gap for this probe?
A: The nominal installation gap is 1.0 mm (40 mil), corresponding to an output of approximately –10.4 VDC. Acceptable range is 0.25–2.25 mm. Always verify with a calibrated gap tool and the driver’s calibration curve.
Q: Can this probe be used on stainless steel shafts?
A: The standard calibration is for AISI 4140 steel. Stainless steel (e.g., 316L) has different electrical conductivity and permeability, which shifts the scale factor. A target-specific calibration curve must be used. Contact us for application engineering support.
Q: What is the difference between the -05 and -08 suffix?
A: The last two digits denote the system cable length. -05 = 5 meters; -08 = 8 meters. All other specifications are identical. Ensure the total cable length (extension + system cable) matches your driver’s calibration.
Q: Do you provide ATEX / IECEx certified versions?
A: Bently Nevada offers ATEX-certified variants of the 330101 series for Zone 1/2 hazardous area installations. Please specify your area classification when submitting your RFQ.
