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 330101-00-55-05-11-00 Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probes 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.
1. Sensitivity: When used with the compatible 3300 XL proximity sensor, the sensitivity is 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil).
2. Linear Range: 2 mm (80 mil), typically starting from a 0.25 mm (10 mil) gap.
3. Operating Temperature: -51°C to +177°C (-60°F to +351°F).
4. Durability: Utilizing the TipLoc injection molding process, a secure connection between the probe tip and the body is ensured; the CableLoc design provides a tensile strength of 330 N (75 lbf).
5. Target Material: Specifications are based on AISI 4140 steel targets.
This probe is commonly used in hydrodynamic bearing machinery for:
1. Radial vibration: Measuring the motion of the shaft within the bearing.
2. Axial (thrust) position: Monitoring the longitudinal displacement of the shaft.
3. Phase reference (critical phasor): Providing timing signals for machine diagnostics and speed measurement.
