Bently Nevada 330103-02-17-05-02-05 – Proximity Transducer System | 3300 XL Series Platform
Engineering Background: In high-speed rotating machinery — turbines, compressors, pumps, and generators — undetected shaft vibration or radial displacement can escalate from a minor anomaly to catastrophic mechanical failure within seconds. Without a precision proximity transducer system in place, maintenance engineers are effectively blind to the early-warning signals that precede bearing wear, rotor imbalance, and shaft misalignment. The consequences: unplanned downtime, costly repairs, and in critical infrastructure, potential safety incidents.
Product Positioning: The Bently Nevada 330103-02-17-05-02-05 is a complete Proximity Transducer System engineered for the 3300 XL Series platform — one of the most widely deployed machinery protection architectures in global industrial automation. This specific configuration integrates a probe, extension cable, and Proximitor® sensor into a calibrated, matched assembly, delivering eddy-current-based non-contact displacement measurement with the accuracy and reliability demanded by API 670-compliant machinery protection systems. It occupies a critical position in Bently Nevada’s 3300 XL product family, trusted by OEMs and end-users across power generation, oil & gas, petrochemical, and heavy manufacturing sectors worldwide.

- Heavy Manufacturing: Paper mill rolls, steel mill drives, large induction motors
- Marine & Offshore: Propulsion systems, auxiliary machinery monitoring
- Water & Wastewater: High-capacity pump stations requiring continuous condition monitoring
Engineering Advantages
- Matched & Calibrated Assembly: Probe, cable, and Proximitor® are factory-matched for optimal linearity — eliminates field calibration errors common with mixed-brand assemblies
- Non-Contact Measurement: Zero mechanical wear on the sensing element; suitable for continuous 24/7 operation in harsh environments
- High Frequency Response: Capable of detecting sub-synchronous, synchronous, and super-synchronous vibration components critical for rotor dynamic analysis
- API 670 Compliance: Drop-in compatible with existing 3300 XL machinery protection systems — no reconfiguration of monitoring racks required
- Robust Construction: Stainless steel probe body, armored cable, and IP66-rated Proximitor® housing withstand aggressive process environments including steam, oil mist, and chemical exposure
- Global Installed Base: Interchangeable with thousands of existing 3300 XL installations worldwide — minimizing spare parts complexity
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The 330103-02-17-05-02-05 operates as a three-component eddy-current measurement chain:
- Proximity Probe (330103 series): Mounted in a drilled boss adjacent to the shaft journal. The probe tip generates a high-frequency electromagnetic field that interacts with the conductive shaft surface.
- Extension Cable: Transmits the RF signal from the probe to the Proximitor® sensor. The 5m extension in this assembly allows the Proximitor® to be located outside the high-temperature bearing housing zone.
- Proximitor® Sensor: Demodulates the RF signal and outputs a DC voltage proportional to the gap distance between probe tip and shaft. This -18 VDC output feeds directly into Bently Nevada 3300 Series monitor cards (e.g., 3300/16, 3300/20, 3300/46) or compatible third-party monitoring systems.
Compatible Monitor Cards: 3300/16, 3300/20, 3300/25, 3300/46, 3300/55, System 1® Evolution, and other API 670-compliant monitoring platforms accepting standard Bently Nevada Proximitor® output.
Sourcing & Quality Verification
At Konmask.com, every Bently Nevada component undergoes a structured verification process before dispatch:
- Part number and date code verification against manufacturer records

Technical FAQ
- Q: Is the 330103-02-17-05-02-05 a complete system or individual components?
- A: It is a complete, factory-matched Proximity Transducer System comprising the probe, extension cable, and Proximitor® sensor — all calibrated as a matched set.
- Q: Can this system be used with non-Bently Nevada monitoring racks?
- A: Yes. The standard -18 VDC / 200 mV/mil output is compatible with any API 670-compliant monitoring system that accepts standard eddy-current transducer inputs.
- Q: What shaft materials are compatible?
- A: The system is calibrated for AISI 4140 steel. For other materials (stainless steel, titanium, Inconel), a field recalibration or material correction factor must be applied per Bently Nevada application guidelines.
- Q: What is the difference between the 330103 and 330180 probe series?
- A: The 330103 is an 8mm probe optimized for the 3300 XL platform. The 330180 is a 5mm probe for tighter installation geometries. Both are part of the 3300 XL family but are not interchangeable without recalibration.
- Q: Do you provide ATEX-certified versions?
- A: The 3300 XL series includes ATEX/IECEx-certified variants. Please specify your hazardous area classification when submitting your inquiry so we can confirm the correct certified configuration.
- Q: What is your typical lead time?
- A: For in-stock items, dispatch within 2–3 business days. For sourced items, typical lead time is 7–15 business days depending on origin. Expedited sourcing available for urgent shutdowns.
