Bently Nevada 330104-02-18-10-01-00 – 8mm Proximity Transducer System | 3300 XL Platform
Engineering Background
The Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximity Transducer System is the industry benchmark for non-contact vibration and position measurement in rotating machinery protection. Engineered to API 670 standards, this system delivers sub-micron resolution across demanding industrial environments — from petrochemical turbines to power generation assets.
Product Positioning
Part number 330104-02-18-10-01-00 is an 8mm probe configuration within the 3300 XL series, designed for radial vibration, axial position, and differential expansion measurement. It integrates directly with Bently Nevada 3500 Series rack monitors and is the preferred choice for OEM-specified machinery protection systems worldwide.

System Architecture & Signal Flow
The 330104-02-18-10-01-00 operates as a three-component eddy-current system:
- Probe (330104-02-18-10-01-00) → generates oscillating electromagnetic field at target surface
- Extension Cable (330130-xx) → transmits RF signal with controlled impedance to driver
- Proximitor® Driver (330180-xx / 330190-xx) → demodulates signal, outputs DC voltage proportional to gap distance
- Monitor Input (3500/40M or 3500/42M) → processes voltage, applies alarm/danger setpoints per API 670
System sensitivity is factory-calibrated as a matched set. Substituting individual components from different serial batches may affect scale factor accuracy — always specify complete system replacement.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is 330104-02-18-10-01-00 a direct replacement for 330104-02-18-05-01-00?
A: The suffix difference indicates connector/termination configuration. Verify your existing driver and extension cable compatibility before substitution. Contact our engineers for a compatibility matrix.
Q: Can this probe be used with non-Bently Nevada monitors?
A: The 3300 XL probe is optimized for Bently Nevada Proximitor® drivers. Use with third-party monitors requires scale factor verification and may void API 670 compliance.
Q: What is the typical lead time?
A: Ex-stock units ship within 3–5 business days. Non-stock items typically 2–4 weeks depending on factory availability.
Q: Do you provide calibration certificates?
A: Yes. Factory CoC is included as standard. Third-party NIST-traceable calibration certificates are available on request.
Q: What warranty applies?
A: 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects, consistent with Bently Nevada OEM terms for authorized distribution.
