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 330103-00-16-50-12-RU 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 configuration (long cable, armored, Russian certified) is typically used in large rotating machinery in harsh environments:
Reciprocating Compressors: Ideal for monitoring piston rod position and runout. A 5.0-meter armored cable (50/12) is essential, capable of withstanding the oil contamination and high vibration environment within the compressor diaphragm, and connecting to an external junction box.
Large Steam and Gas Turbines: Used for axial (thrust) position or key phase signals. Reverse mounting allows technicians to precisely "isolate" the probe from the turbine casing exterior while the machine is running at low speeds.
Hydraulic Turbines: Used for monitoring shaft vibration or centerline. A 5.0-meter cable is typically used to reach the perimeter of the turbine pit without the need for an intermediate extension cable.
Oil & Gas/Power Plants (Eurasia): The RU suffix indicates compliance with EAC/GOST standards, a mandatory requirement for legal installation in the Russian Federation and surrounding Customs Union countries.
