Features:
- M10 x 1 metric threads with 6.0-inch case for international mounting standards.
- Patented TiLoc and CableLoc technologies for robust mechanical durability.
- 1.0-meter cable with ClickLoc connector (option 02, no connector protector).
The 330709-000-060-10-02-00 is an 8 mm proximity probe designed for vibration and position measurement on fluid-film bearing machines such as turbines, compressors, and generators. The M10 x 1 metric threads are specifically designed for international installations requiring metric mounting standards, ensuring secure mounting in metric probe holders. The 6.0-inch overall case length and 0.0-inch unthreaded length allow flexible installation in various machine geometries, particularly where extended reach is required. The probe is fully interchangeable with both XL and non-XL 3300 series components.
The 330709-000-060-10-02-00 incorporates patented TiLoc molding for a robust bond between the probe tip and the probe body, ensuring long-term reliability under vibration and mechanical stress. The CableLoc design provides 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength, securely attaching the probe cable to the probe tip to prevent accidental disconnection. The gold-plated ClickLoc connector with standard cable (option 02) requires only finger-tight torque and features a locking mechanism to prevent loosening. The probe operates from -51°C to +177°C and is factory calibrated to AISI 4140 steel.
The 330709-000-060-10-02-00 is a standard configuration probe with the "00" suffix indicating no agency approvals (CSA, ATEX, IECEx not included). This makes the probe suitable for installations where hazardous area approvals are not required. The 1.0-meter integral cable with ClickLoc connector (option 02) provides a standard cable without connector protector, suitable for general-purpose installations. When hazardous area approvals are required, a variant with the "05" suffix should be selected. The probe complies with API 670 Standard for mechanical configuration and accuracy.
The 330709-000-060-10-02-00 Bently Nevada Proximity Probe may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond
End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Axial (Thrust) Position Monitoring: It tracks the axial displacement of rotor shafts on massive steam turbines and gas turbines.
- Ramp Differential Expansion: It measures the relative thermal growth difference between the machine casing and the rotor shaft during startup.
- Reciprocating Compressors: It monitors rod position and rod drop to predict rider band wear in piston-driven systems.
- Large Turbo-machinery: It measures radial vibration on heavy-duty centrifugal compressors, generators, and large industrial pumps.
- Machinery Protection (Trips): The probe provides continuous 100 mV/mil (3.94 V/mm) analog outputs. If vibration levels cross unsafe safety thresholds, the system triggers automatic emergency shutdowns (Trips) to stop catastrophic shaft-to-stator friction.
- Gap Voltage Diagnostics: Operators use DC gap voltage—typically set between -9V and -11V DC—to diagnose structural shifts or unbalance.
- Not OK Interlock Circuitry: The matching Proximitor sensor continually runs internal self-tests. If a cable breaks, shorts, or unplugs, the monitor alerts operators with a "Not OK" flag and blocks false machine trips.
- Mechanical Boring & Gapping: Mount the probe inside a threaded bracket or housing. Adjust the physical distance between the target face (ideally AISI 4140 steel) and the probe tip.
- Electrical Fine-Tuning: Connect a digital multimeter to the Proximitor sensor output. Thread the probe in or out until your voltage meter reads roughly -10.0 Vdc, signaling that the probe sits exactly in the middle of its linear tracking range.
- Secure with Safety Wire: Securely lock the outer nut down. The probe base includes pre-drilled holes so you can lock it tightly using industrial safety wires.
- Physical Routing: Keep a minimum cable bend radius of 25.4 mm (1.0 in) during routing to prevent core signal loss.
