330103-01-06-05-02-00 Bently Nevada 8mm Probe

Short-Tip 8mm Probe for Shallow Mounting Applications

The Bently Nevada 330103-01-06-05-02-00 belongs to the trusted 3300 XL series. We design this compact 8mm probe for accurate displacement and vibration measurements in shallow mounting holes. The 10mm unthreaded tip works perfectly where space is limited. It operates within a 2mm (80 mils) linear range, starting at 0.25 mm from the target. For radial vibration monitoring, we recommend a gap setting of -9 Vdc, which equals approximately 1.27 mm.

Key Technical Specifications

• Approvals: Agency approval option 00 means no hazardous location certification. For general industrial use.

Environmental and Operating Ranges

• Temperature (Standard): Operates and stores from -52°C to +177°C (-62°F to +350°F).
• Temperature (Extended): Probe tip reaches -52°C to +218°C (-62°F to +425°F). Cable and connector handle up to +260°C.
• Humidity: Average Scale Factor changes less than 3% after 56 days in 93% humidity.
• Pressure Seal: Uses Viton® O-ring to seal differential pressure between tip and case.
• Compact Design: Minimal 10mm tip length suits confined installations and tight clearances.

Installation and Mounting Guide

• Thread Engagement: Maximum thread engagement length is 15 mm for M10x1 case thread.
• Torque (Forward Mount): Recommended torque is 11.2 N•m (100 in•lbf). Maximum rated torque is 33.9 N•m.
• Torque (First Three Threads): Use recommended torque of 7.5 N•m (66 in•lbf). Do not exceed 22.6 N•m.
• Field Wiring: Use 16-24 AWG wire. Maximum extension cable length is 305 meters (1,000 feet).
• Temperature Note: Avoid exposing probe below -34°C (-30°F) to protect pressure seal.
• Shallow Mount Advantage: The 10mm tip allows installation where longer probes cannot fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

When to use 10mm tip length?

Perfect for shallow mounting holes where longer tips would protrude too far or contact nearby components.

What does approval option 00 mean?

No hazardous area certifications. Suitable for general industrial environments without explosion risk.

Compatible with 3300 XL systems?

Yes. This 330103-01-06-05-02-00 works with all Bently Nevada 3300 XL proximitors and monitors.

What gap setting for vibration?

Set initial gap to -9 Vdc (approximately 1.27mm). This centers probe within linear range.

What is maximum thread engagement?

15mm maximum. Do not overtighten or exceed this depth to avoid probe damage.
