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 330104-08-12-10-02-00 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.
This probe is specifically designed for monitoring hydrodynamic bearing machinery—large pieces of equipment where the shaft is suspended on a thin film of oil. Key applications include:
Radial Vibration: Measuring the amplitude of shaft wobble within the bearing to detect imbalances, misalignments, or mechanical loosening.
Axial (Thrust) Position: Monitoring the longitudinal movement of the shaft to prevent physical contact with internal mechanical components, thus avoiding potential damage.
Speed and Phase (Critical Phasor): Detecting the "per revolution" mark on the shaft to calculate the rotational speed (RPM) and providing a time reference for vibration analysis.
