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 330103-00-12-10-11-05 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 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.
This specific hardware configuration is widely used in industries requiring high-reliability vibration monitoring in confined or high-pressure environments:
Centrifugal Compressors (Oil and Gas): For radial vibration monitoring. The reverse-mount design is ideal for compressors with limited internal bearing housing access.
Industrial Gearboxes: For monitoring shaft stability and gear meshing alignment. The 1.2-inch short housing (12) is ideal for thinner gearbox housings.
Steam and Gas Turbines (Power Generation): Used as keyphase or axial (thrust) position monitoring. The reverse-mount design allows technicians to adjust the probe clearance from outside the turbine housing.
Large Pumps: For monitoring the shaft centerline and rotor dynamics of boiler feed pumps or process pumps.
