The 330102-00-16-90-11-05 is a 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe manufactured by Bently Nevada, USA. It is an industrial-grade, high-precision, non-contact sensor widely used for vibration and displacement monitoring in rotating machinery.
Tensile strength up to 330 N (75 lb)
Measures position and vibration (static/dynamic)
The system outputs voltage proportional to the distance
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. Each 3300 XL 8 mm Transducer System component is backward compatible and interchangeable with other non XL 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.

Thermal Power
Monitor shaft vibration and axial displacement of large steam turbines and generators to prevent rotor-to-stator contact.
Petrochemical and Oil
Monitor the oil film clearance of fluid-film bearings in critical high-pressure pumps within hydrocracking and catalytic cracking units.
Hydroelectric Power
Measure the large-amplitude, low-frequency swing (runout) of large, low-speed vertical shafts in hydroelectric turbine-generator units.
Coal Chemical Industry
Monitor rod drop and cross-head position of large reciprocating compressors used in coal-to-gas and coal-to-liquid processes.
Nuclear Power
Monitor the shaft alignment and vibration of steam generator feedwater pumps and highly reliable main steam turbines within nuclear power conventional islands.
Paper and Pulp Industry
Monitor eccentric profiles and thermal bearing displacement of drive gearboxes and heavy press rolls in high-speed paper machine drying cylinder groups.
Ensure the probe tip is vertically aligned and kept away from stray metal interference during installation. Avoid over-tensioning or sharply bending the armored cable, and always keep the coaxial connectors clean and dry. Since this model features a fixed 9.0-meter total system length, it must be connected directly to a dedicated 9.0m 3300 XL Proximitor. Never cut the cable or append any extension cable, as this will cause signal distortion or complete system failure.
The 330102-00-16-90-11-05 is an 8mm reverse-mount proximity probe that provides an output voltage directly proportional to the distance between the probe tip and the observed conductive surface when connected to a 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor. It is designed to measure both static (position) and dynamic (vibration) values within a standard 2.0 mm (80 mils) linear range. Featuring a 1.6-inch overall case length with 3/8-24 UNF full threads (0-inch unthreaded length), this specific configuration is designed for a 9.0-meter total system length and integrates a fluid-resistant cable protected by robust stainless steel armor and a ClickLoc coaxial connector. With international hazardous area agency approvals (including CSA, ATEX, and IECEx), the probe's primary applications are vibration and position measurements on fluid-film bearing machines, as well as Keyphasor reference and speed measurements.
It is an industrial non-contact eddy current proximity probe from the Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm series, featuring a 3/8-24 UNF thread and stainless steel armor.
What is the working principle of 330102-00-16-90-11-05?
The high-frequency coil in the probe tip generates an alternating magnetic field, which induces eddy currents on nearby conductive surfaces, changing the impedance to output a voltage proportional to the gap distance.
How to correctly install and use products like 330102-00-16-90-11-05?
Thread it into the machine bearing housing or a mounting bracket, adjust the initial gap between the probe tip and the shaft surface (verified by gap voltage), and secure it with a locknut.
What equipment must be paired with 330102-00-16-90-11-05 to work?
It must be connected to a compatible 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor, which then roots the signal to machinery monitoring systems like the 3500 series, or to a PLC/DCS.
What is the system length limitation for 330102-00-16-90-11-05?
This model suffix is 90, meaning it has a 9-meter overall length. Since the system is calibrated for a 9-meter total length, it cannot be connected to an additional extension cable.
