- 3300 5 mm Transducer System
- 330171 3300 5mm Probe, 1/4-28 UNF thread, without armor
When used with the 3300 XL proximity sensor and XL extension cable, this system provides an output voltage proportional to the distance between the probe tip and the conductive surface being measured. The system can measure both static (position) and dynamic (vibration) data.
Its primary applications include vibration and position measurement in hydrodynamic bearing machinery, as well as adhesion phasor and velocity measurement. The system provides accurate and stable signal output over a wide temperature range.
The 330171-00-47-10-01-05 Bently Nevada 3300 5mm 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 5 mm probe is an improvement on the previous design. The patented TipLoc molding process achieves a stronger bond between the probe tip and the probe body. The 3300 5 mm system can be equipped with Fluidloc cables to prevent oil and other liquids from leaking from the cable inside into the machine. All 3300 XL proximity sensor systems achieve this performance level, and the probe, extension cable, and proximity sensor are fully interchangeable, requiring no matching or bench calibration of individual components.
This probe is installed inside high-speed rotating machinery for critical condition monitoring and safe shutdown:
Hydraulic bearing monitoring: Directly measures radial vibration (dynamic movement of the shaft) and axial position (movement of the thrust shaft) relative to the hydraulic sliding bearing.
Keyphase and speed sensing: Monitors keyways or grooves on rotating shafts, providing phase-timed pulses per revolution for balancing calculations and machine speed measurement.
Applicable equipment types: Widely used in small centrifugal gas compressors, turbochargers, high-speed gearboxes, and multistage industrial pumps.
