Engineering Background
The Bently Nevada 3300 NSv series represents the industry benchmark for non-contact shaft vibration and position measurement in rotating machinery. Deployed across gas turbines, steam turbines, compressors, and pumps in power generation, oil & gas, and petrochemical facilities worldwide, the 3300 NSv system delivers the measurement accuracy and long-term stability that critical machinery protection demands.
Product Positioning
Part number 330905-00-17-05-02-00 is a complete proximity probe assembly configured for 5 mm tip diameter, 5-metre (17 ft) integral cable, standard sensitivity output, and a 2-metre (02) extension cable interface. It is the preferred selection for turbomachinery OEM installations and retrofit projects requiring API 670-compliant radial vibration monitoring.

- 316 SS housing + IP67 — Withstands lube oil, steam, and process gas environments without degradation
- API 670 compliant — Drop-in compatible with existing 3300 NSv protection system architectures
- Factory-calibrated — Each probe ships with individual calibration data traceable to NIST standards
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The 330905-00-17-05-02-00 probe operates as part of a three-component eddy-current measurement chain:
- Proximity Probe (this item) — Generates an oscillating electromagnetic field at the tip; gap-dependent impedance change modulates the carrier signal.
- Extension Cable — Transmits the modulated RF signal from the probe to the driver/oscillator with controlled impedance (integral 2 m extension included in this part number).
- Driver / Oscillator-Demodulator — Converts the modulated signal to a DC-proportional voltage output (–24 VDC supply; 200 mV/mil output to monitoring system).
The output voltage is directly proportional to the air gap between the probe tip and the conductive target surface, enabling real-time shaft position and vibration amplitude measurement.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is this probe compatible with the Bently Nevada 3300 XL driver?
A: Yes. The 330905 series is fully compatible with the 3300 XL 8 mm and 11 mm driver/oscillator-demodulators when used with the correct extension cable.
Q: Can this probe measure non-ferrous targets?
A: The standard calibration is for AISI 4140 steel. Aluminium, titanium, and other alloys require a target-specific calibration curve — contact us for custom calibration options.
Q: What is the maximum shaft speed this probe can monitor?
A: The DC–10 kHz frequency response supports shaft speeds well beyond 100,000 RPM for fundamental vibration measurement; consult the application datasheet for harmonic analysis requirements.
Q: Do you supply the matching extension cable and driver separately?
A: Yes. Bently Nevada 3300 series extension cables and driver modules are available — contact us with your full system part numbers for a complete BOM quotation.
Q: Is a Certificate of Conformance included?
A: CoC is available upon request at no additional charge. Please specify at time of order.
