Features:
- Sensing element for the 3300 XL 11 mm proximity transducer system
- Patented TipLoc and CableLoc construction with 330 N pull strength
- ClickLoc connectors with optional FluidLoc sealing and connector protectors
The 330710-000-050-50-02-00 serves as the primary sensing element in the 3300 XL 11 mm proximity transducer system, providing accurate non-contact displacement measurement for critical rotating machinery. It continuously converts changes in the gap between the probe tip and the target surface into a proportional electrical signal, transmitting this data through the probe cable to the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor for conditioning and output to monitoring systems. Seamless signal integrity is standard with the 330710-000-050-50-02-00; however, selecting the optional FluidLoc cable configuration will prevent oil and other liquids from migrating through the cable interior, while connector protectors provide additional environmental sealing in humid or moist conditions. The 330710-000-050-50-02-00 incorporates several improvements over earlier proximity probe designs, including the patented TipLoc molding method that ensures robust bonding between the probe tip and body, and the CableLoc design providing 330 N (75 lb) pull strength at the probe tip-to-cable junction.
The 330710-000-050-50-02-00 provides essential sensing functions common to the entire transducer system, and is a critical component of the measurement path, directly affecting the accuracy and reliability of the overall machinery protection system. One 330710-000-050-50-02-00 probe is required per measurement channel, and it must be properly threaded into the machine housing to maintain the correct standoff distance from the target material. The 330710-000-050-50-02-00 is available in multiple probe case configurations, including armored and unarmored variants with ½-20, 5⁄8-18, M14 X 1.5 and M16 X 1.5 threads, while the reverse mount version comes standard with either 3⁄8-24 or M10 X 1 threads. All 330710-000-050-50-02-00 probes come standard with a locknut featuring pre-drilled safety wire holes to prevent loosening under vibration.
For applications requiring enhanced environmental protection, the 330710-000-050-50-02-00 supports the FluidLoc cable option installed along the probe body and cable interior. In addition to standard probe operation, this sealed configuration also prevents oil and other liquids from leaking out of the machine through the cable's interior. The connector protector option executes additional environmental sealing using the threaded ClickLoc connector interface specified in the system options. Using this method, the 330710-000-050-50-02-00 connector interfaces remain continually protected against moisture ingress in humid environments. If the application exposes the probe-to-extension cable connection to turbine oil, silicone tape is provided as an alternative, though connector protectors are recommended for all 330710-000-050-50-02-00 installations to ensure automatic, reliable environmental protection.
The 330710-000-050-50-02-00 Bently Nevada 3300 XL 11 mm 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: Tracks the longitudinal movement of shafts in large steam turbines or gas compressors to prevent catastrophic internal rotor-to-stator contact.
- Ramp Differential Expansion: Measures the relative thermal expansion differences between a turbine rotor and its casing during startup and shutdown cycles.
- Reciprocating Compressor Rod Drop: Continually monitors rider band wear by tracking the vertical position displacement of the piston rod.
- Phase Reference (Keyphasor): Provides precise once-per-turn timing pulses on large-diameter shafts for speed measurements and vibration phase filtering.
- System Length Matching: The probe must be paired with a Proximitor Sensor calibrated for a matching total electrical length. Because this specific probe has a 5.0-meter length, it connects directly to a 5-meter Proximitor Sensor without an intermediate extension cable.
- Target Material Calibration: The system standard calibration is optimized for AISI 4140 steel targets. If target faces consist of different alloys (e.g., stainless steel, tungsten), you must configure scale factor corrections within your connected machinery protection system, such as a Bently Nevada 3500 monitor.
- Thread Engagement: Maximum recommended thread engagement is 24 mm to eliminate binding risks.
- Torque Limits: Tighten the probe body casing to a maximum rated torque of 63.3 N·m (46.7 ft·lbf). Do not over-torque to prevent sensor tip damage.
- Side-View Clearance: Maintain a minimum clear target area diameter of 31 mm.
