Bently Nevada 330103-05-05-10-02-00 8mm Probe

General Purpose 8mm Probe for Standard Industrial Applications

The Bently Nevada 330103-05-05-10-02-00 belongs to the trusted 3300 XL series. We design this versatile 8mm probe for accurate displacement and vibration measurements in general industrial environments. It features a 50mm unthreaded tip with 50mm case length for balanced mounting flexibility. The sensor 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.
