The Bently Nevada 330101-00-16-05-02-00 is an industrial-grade 3300 XL series 8mm eddy current proximity sensor probe. As a core sensor in Bently Nevada's (a Baker Hughes brand) asset protection and condition monitoring systems, it is widely and safely installed near hydrodynamically lubricated bearings in rotating machinery such as industrial steam turbines, centrifugal compressors, and large fans.
The Bently Nevada 330101-00-16-05-02-00 is designed for non-contact, high-precision measurement of rotor radial vibration, axial displacement, and critical phasor velocity signals. It fully complies with American Petroleum Institute (API) 670 standards across its entire measurement range (linear range up to 2.0 mm).
When used with the dedicated 3300 XL proximity sensor, the Bently Nevada 330101-00-16-05-02-00 utilizes the high-frequency electromagnetic eddy current effect to convert the micron-level physical gap changes between the probe tip and the surface of the measured journal into a standard proportional voltage signal with a signal-to-noise ratio of up to 7.87 V/mm. This provides a stable and fully interchangeable stream of precision monitoring data for online monitors in the control room, such as the 3500 system.
