Bently Nevada 330905-00-16-10-02-05 Proximity Probe – 3300 NSv Series
When a proximity probe fails mid-operation on a critical turbine or compressor train, the consequences are immediate and severe: unplanned shutdowns, loss of vibration data integrity, potential rotor damage, and costly production downtime that can run into tens of thousands of dollars per hour. In high-stakes rotating machinery environments, there is no acceptable substitute for a precision-engineered, OEM-specification proximity probe.
The Bently Nevada 330905-00-16-10-02-05 is a purpose-built eddy-current proximity probe from the industry-leading 3300 NSv (Non-contacting Vibration) Series. Designed to deliver sub-micron resolution in continuous, real-time shaft vibration and position monitoring, this probe is the preferred choice for turbomachinery protection systems worldwide — from LNG compressors in the Middle East to steam turbines in Southeast Asian power plants. Its compatibility with the Bently Nevada 3300 XL monitoring system makes it a cornerstone component in API 670-compliant machinery protection architectures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the 330905-00-16-10-02-05 a direct replacement for older 3300 NSv probes?
A: Yes. The 330905-00-16-10-02-05 is designed as a direct replacement within the 3300 NSv measurement chain. Ensure the extension cable and driver part numbers match the existing installation for a calibrated system.
Q: Can this probe be used with the Bently Nevada 3500 monitoring system?
A: The 3300 NSv probe series is primarily designed for the 3300 XL monitoring platform. Use with a 3500 system requires verification of the specific I/O module and driver compatibility. Contact our technical team for confirmation.
Q: What is the difference between the 8mm, 11mm, and 16mm 3300 NSv probes?
A: The tip diameter determines the linear measurement range and the minimum target shaft diameter. The 16mm probe (this model) offers the widest linear range and is suited for large-diameter shafts typically found in heavy turbomachinery.
Q: Do you provide certificates of conformance or test reports?
A: Traceability documentation and certificates of conformance are available upon request. Please specify your documentation requirements when submitting your inquiry.
Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: We supply from single units upward. There is no minimum order quantity for standard stocked items.
