Long-Reach 8mm Probe for Deep Mounting Applications

The Bently Nevada 330103-13-23-05-02-00 belongs to the trusted 3300 XL series. We design this extended-tip 8mm probe for accurate displacement and vibration measurements in deep housing or through-hole installations. The 130mm unthreaded length reaches past obstacles before threads engage. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

When to use 130mm unthreaded length?

Use this probe when you need to reach through deep bearing housings or thick machine casings before threads start.

What does approval option 00 mean?

This model has no hazardous area certifications. Suitable for general industrial environments without explosion risk.

Compatible with 3300 XL systems?

Yes. This 330103-13-23-05-02-00 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.

Can I use this in hazardous areas?

No, this version lacks certifications. Choose model with approval code 05 for CSA/ATEX/IECEx certified version.
