Bently Nevada 330173-00-06-10-12-00 – 8mm Proximity Probe Vibration Sensor | 3300 XL Series 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 machinery protection standards, the 3300 XL probe system delivers sub-micron resolution and exceptional long-term stability in the most demanding industrial environments — from gas turbines and steam turbines to centrifugal compressors and large electric motors.
Product Positioning
The Bently Nevada 330173-00-06-10-12-00 is an 8mm diameter proximity probe with a 5-metre (16.4 ft) integral cable, designed for radial vibration, axial position (thrust), and differential expansion measurement. It is the preferred choice for procurement engineers specifying replacement or expansion sensors within existing 3300 XL monitor architectures.

Proven Application Environments
- Gas Turbines & Steam Turbines — Radial shaft vibration monitoring per API 670
- Centrifugal Compressors — Axial thrust position and differential expansion measurement
- Large Electric Motors & Generators — Continuous bearing journal orbit analysis
- Pumps & Fans — Rotating machinery health monitoring in process industries
- Petrochemical & Refinery Plants — Hazardous area installations (ATEX rated configurations)
- Power Generation — Integration with Bently Nevada System 1 condition monitoring software
Engineering Advantages
- API 670 Compliant — Drop-in replacement for existing 3300 XL installations without recalibration when target material matches
- High Frequency Response — DC to 10 kHz bandwidth captures sub-synchronous, synchronous, and super-synchronous vibration components
- 316 SS Housing — Corrosion-resistant construction for wet, oily, and chemically aggressive environments
- Integral Cable Design — Eliminates field-assembly errors; 5 m length suits most standard bearing housing-to-junction-box runs
- Long-Term Stability — Eddy-current technology provides drift-free measurement over multi-year service intervals
- System 1 Compatible — Full integration with Bently Nevada System 1 Evolution software for predictive maintenance analytics
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The 330173-00-06-10-12-00 operates as part of a three-component eddy-current measurement chain:
- Proximity Probe (330173-00-06-10-12-00) — Generates the electromagnetic field and senses target gap changes
- Extension Cable (330130 Series) — Transmits the high-frequency oscillator signal between probe and driver; total system cable length must be matched to driver calibration
- Proximitor® Driver / Oscillator (3300 XL Driver) — Conditions the signal and outputs a DC voltage proportional to gap distance at 7.87 V/mm scale factor
Output signal is fed directly to a Bently Nevada 3500 or 3300 series monitor rack for alarm, trip, and data acquisition functions.

Technical FAQ
- Q: Can I use this probe with a non-Bently Nevada monitor?
- A: Yes, provided the monitor accepts a -24 VDC powered eddy-current probe with 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil) output. Verify input impedance compatibility with your monitor manufacturer.
- Q: What is the correct total system cable length?
- A: The 330173-00-06-10-12-00 has a 5 m integral cable. When paired with a 330130-080-00-00 extension cable (8 m), total system length is 13 m — verify this matches your driver’s calibration specification.
- Q: Is this probe suitable for ATEX Zone 1 installations?
- A: Certain 3300 XL configurations carry ATEX certification. Confirm the specific ATEX certificate number on the probe label and consult the Bently Nevada 3300 XL installation manual before installing in classified areas.
- Q: How do I verify authenticity?
- A: Request the serial number trace report from Konmask.com prior to purchase. We cross-reference with Bently Nevada factory records and provide a signed CoC for critical applications.
- Q: What is the lead time for this part?
- A: In-stock units ship within 1–3 business days. Out-of-stock items typically have a 2–6 week lead time depending on global supply. Contact us for real-time availability.
