Bently Nevada 330104-00-06-50-12-05 — 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probe | Bently Nevada 3300 XL Platform
Engineering Background
The Bently Nevada 3300 XL Series represents the industry benchmark for non-contacting eddy-current proximity measurement in rotating machinery protection systems. Designed to meet API 670 requirements, the 3300 XL 8mm probe system delivers exceptional linearity and thermal stability across demanding industrial environments — from gas turbines and steam turbines to centrifugal compressors and large electric motors.
Product Positioning
The 330104-00-06-50-12-05 is a complete 8mm proximity probe assembly configured with a 6-inch (0.5 ft) integral cable, 50-ohm coaxial termination, and standard -24 VDC bias voltage output. It is the preferred choice for OEM integrators and plant maintenance engineers requiring a drop-in replacement or new installation within existing Bently Nevada 3300 XL monitor racks.

Engineering Advantages
- API 670 Compliant — Meets the most stringent machinery protection standard for critical rotating equipment
- High Linearity — ±1% linearity over full measurement range ensures accurate vibration amplitude data
- Wide Thermal Stability — Calibrated performance from -35°C to +121°C without field recalibration
- Direct System Compatibility — Plug-and-play replacement within existing 3300 XL monitor racks (3300/16, 3300/20, 3500 series)
- Eddy-Current Non-Contact Design — Zero mechanical wear; suitable for continuous 24/7 operation
- EMI/RFI Shielded Cable — 50 Ω coaxial construction minimizes signal noise in high-interference plant environments
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The 330104-00-06-50-12-05 operates as part of a three-component eddy-current measurement chain:
- Proximity Probe (330104-00-06-50-12-05) — Generates the high-frequency electromagnetic field and senses target gap changes
- Extension Cable (330130 Series) — Transmits the raw oscillator signal from probe to proximitor; total cable system must equal 5 meters or 9 meters for calibrated sensitivity
- Proximitor / Oscillator-Demodulator (3300 XL 8mm, e.g., 330180) — Converts the frequency-modulated signal to a DC voltage output (200 mV/mil) for monitor input
Note: The probe integral cable length (6 inches) must be accounted for when selecting the extension cable to achieve the correct total system cable length.
Sourcing & Quality Verification
- All units sourced from authorized distributors or verified surplus channels with full traceability documentation
- Each probe inspected for physical integrity: tip condition, cable jacket, connector termination, and label legibility
- Functional verification available upon request: bias voltage output and sensitivity check against calibrated target

Technical FAQ
Q: Can the 330104-00-06-50-12-05 be used with a 3500 Series monitor rack?
A: Yes. The 3300 XL 8mm probe system is fully compatible with Bently Nevada 3500 Series monitors when paired with the correct 3300 XL proximitor (e.g., 330180-X0-05).
Q: What is the significance of the “-06” in the part number?
A: The “-06” designates the integral cable length — 6 inches (0.5 ft). This is the shortest standard cable option and is typically used in tight-clearance installations where the extension cable connects immediately at the probe.
Q: What target material is this probe calibrated for?
A: Standard calibration is for AISI 4140 steel. For other target materials (e.g., Inconel, titanium, stainless steel), a material correction factor or custom calibration is required.
Q: Is the probe ATEX certified for use in hazardous areas?
A: ATEX/IECEx certification is applied at the system level (probe + extension cable + proximitor). Confirm the complete system certification with your Bently Nevada documentation before installation in Zone 1/2 areas.
Q: Do you provide a certificate of conformance (CoC)?
A: Yes. A CoC is available upon request for all orders. Functional test reports can also be provided for critical applications.
