🔧 Where This Probe Excels

Bearing Vibration Monitoring: Track radial shaft motion in journal bearings, rolling element bearings, and magnetic bearings with sub-micron resolution.

Thrust Position Measurement: Monitor axial shaft position in compressors and turbines to prevent thrust bearing failures and rotor-to-stator contact.

Differential Expansion: Measure thermal growth differences between rotor and casing in high-temperature turbomachinery applications.

Keyphasor Reference: Provide once-per-revolution timing signals for phase analysis, balancing, and diagnostic purposes.

⚙️ Engineering Advantages

✓ Factory Calibrated: Each probe ships with individual calibration curve traceable to NIST standards
✓ Rugged Construction: Stainless steel housing withstands harsh industrial environments
✓ Low Noise Design: Advanced coil winding techniques minimize electrical interference
✓ Standard Threading: M12 x 1.0 fits most industrial probe holders and mounting brackets
✓ Integral Cable: Factory-sealed connection eliminates potential failure point

💡 Application Intelligence

The 1.3-meter cable length is ideal for installations where the proximitor can be mounted near the machine—common in compact turbine packages, pump systems, and motor-driven equipment. This shorter cable minimizes signal degradation and reduces installation costs compared to longer cable configurations.

When paired with Bently Nevada 3300 XL proximitors, this probe delivers the measurement accuracy and reliability that predictive maintenance programs depend on. The system detects developing faults weeks or months before failure, enabling planned maintenance instead of emergency shutdowns.

🎯 System Integration

Compatible with all 3300 XL proximitor models including standard, high-temperature, and dual-channel configurations. Works with extension cables when additional length is required (consult system documentation for maximum total cable length). Integrates seamlessly with 3500 rack systems, standalone monitors, and PLC/DCS inputs.
