Features:
- 3300 XL Proximity Switch Module
- 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System
- The 3300 XL probe and extension cable also reflect improvements over previous designs
The system provides an output voltage that is directly proportional to the distance between the probe tip and the observed conductive surface and can measure both static (position) and dynamic (vibration) values. The system’s primary applications are vibration and position measurements on fluid-film bearing machines, as well as Keyphasor reference and speed measurements.
Each 3300 XL 8 mm Transducer System component is backward compatible and interchangeable4 with other nonXL 3300 series 5 mm and 8 mm transducer system components5. This compatibility includes the 3300 5 mm probe, for applications in which an 8 mm probe is too large for the available mounting space.
The 102046-50 Bently Nevada Proximity Switch Module may still be available for purchase and support from Moore Automated Company beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

The 3300 XL 8 mm system delivers the most advanced performance in our eddy current proximity transducer systems. The standard 3300 XL 8 mm 5-meter system also fully complies with the American Petroleum Institute’s (API) 670 Standard for mechanical configuration, linear range, accuracy, and temperature stability. All 3300 XL 8 mm proximity transducer systems provide this level of performance and support complete interchangeability of probes, extension cables, and Proximitor sensors, eliminating the need to match or bench calibrate individual components.
102046-50 is primarily used for non-contact vibration and position measurement in rotating machinery employing hydrodynamic bearings:
1. Radial Vibration: Measures shaft wobble to detect imbalance or misalignment.
2. Axial Position (Thrust): Monitors the longitudinal movement of the shaft in turbines and compressors to prevent internal collisions.
3. Critical Phasor and Rotation Speed: Tracks rotational speed and provides a time reference for vibration analysis.
4. Air Gap Monitoring: In some configurations, these sensors are used in hydroelectric generators to measure the distance between the rotor and stator.
