- 330103 3300 XL 8 mm Probe, M10 x 1 thread, without armor
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 components. 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 330103-00-03-10-02-05 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 is our most advanced eddy current proximity sensor system. The standard 3300 XL 8 mm 5-meter system fully complies with American Petroleum Institute (API) 670 standards, meeting requirements for mechanical integrity, linear range, accuracy, and temperature stability. All 3300 XL 8 mm proximity sensor systems achieve this performance level and support complete interchangeability of probes, extension cables, and Proximitor sensors, eliminating the need for matching individual components or bench calibration.
This probe is a key component of mechanical protection systems, typically used in machinery equipped with hydrodynamic bearings. Its sensor "senses" shaft movement through a thin film of oil:
Radial Vibration: Measures the dynamic movement of the shaft within its bearings to detect imbalances or misalignments.
Axial (Thrust) Position: Tracks the longitudinal movement of the shaft to prevent catastrophic contact between rotating and stationary components.
Key Phasor and Rotation Speed: Provides a timing signal per revolution for phase measurement and rotational speed tracking.
Equipment Types: Commonly found in highly critical equipment such as steam turbines and gas turbines, centrifugal compressors, pumps, and large electric motors.
Compliance: Meets API 670 mechanical protection system standards.
Environment: Operating temperature range -51°C to +177°C.
Interchangeability: As part of the 3300 XL system, the probe and cable can be replaced without recalibrating the proximity sensor.
