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 330104-09-18-05-01-05 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 probe is a key component of mechanical protection systems (such as the Bently Nevada 3500) for monitoring:
1. Radial Vibration: Measures the dynamic movement of the shaft within a hydrodynamic (sliding) bearing to detect imbalance, misalignment, or bearing wear.
2. Axial (Thrust) Position: Monitors the longitudinal movement of the rotor to prevent internal metal-to-metal contact and catastrophic failure.
3. Critical Phasor and Speed: Provides a reference pulse per revolution for phase angle calculation and speed tracking.
4. Industrial Applications: Widely used in turbines, compressors, and large motors in oil and gas, power generation, and petrochemical facilities.
