Features:
- Rated up to 218°C (425°F), significantly higher than standard 177°C (350°F) probes, enabling installation in turbine exhausts, compressors, and other high-temperature machine locations.
- Features an integral probe sleeve that mechanically protects the probe and prevents oil leakage, eliminating the need for costly FluidLoc cable options in most installations.
- Carries CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications (option 05) for explosive atmospheres. Fully compliant with API 670 Standard for mechanical configuration, linear range, accuracy, and temperature stability.
The 330195-02-12-50-05 is specifically engineered for machinery monitoring in high-temperature environments where standard proximity probes would fail. Standard 3300 XL 8 mm probes are rated for operation up to 177°C (350°F). However, many critical turbomachinery applications—such as gas turbine exhaust casings, steam turbine high-pressure sections, and large compressors—expose probes to temperatures that exceed this limit. The 330195-02-12-50-05 ETR probe extends the temperature rating to 218°C (425°F), providing a 41°C (75°F) increase in capability.
The 330195-02-12-50-05 utilizes a reverse mount configuration, which differs from standard probes in how it interfaces with the machine casing. In standard mounting, the probe body passes through the casing and the sensing tip extends toward the target. In reverse mount, the probe sleeve acts as the primary interface, allowing the probe to be inserted from the opposite direction. This design is particularly valuable in tight installations where access to the target surface is restricted. The integrated sleeve provides two critical functions: mechanical support to prevent probe vibration and bending, and oil sealing to prevent fluid migration through the cable path.
The 330195-02-12-50-05 is certified for use in potentially explosive atmospheres with agency approval option 05, which includes CSA (North America), ATEX (Europe), and IECEx (international) certifications. This allows the probe to be installed in Zone 0, Zone 1, Zone 2, Division 1, and Division 2 hazardous locations commonly found in refineries, chemical plants, offshore platforms, and gas pipelines. The probe meets all requirements of API 670 Standard for externally mounted proximity probe housings, including mechanical configuration, linear range, accuracy, and temperature stability.
The 330195-02-12-50-05 Bently Nevada Mount Probe may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond
End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Fluid-Film Bearing Monitoring: Directly observes the oil film thickness and dynamics inside large industrial sliding sleeve bearings on turbines, compressors, and generator rotors to prevent boundary friction.
- Radial Vibration Measurement: Monitors real-time dynamic shaft lateral displacement and orbit profiles relative to the bearing box during operation to detect shaft unbalance or misalignment.
- Axial / Thrust Position Tracking: Tracks the physical shifting of the turbine rotor caused by immense axial steam/gas thrusts, preventing catastrophic rotor-to-stator axial collisions.
- Speed and Keyphasor Identification: Targets a machined slot (keyway) or projection on the spinning shaft to generate a one-pulse-per-revolution phase reference signal, crucial for advanced vibration diagnostic analysis.
- API 670 Compliance: When combined with a standard 3300 XL Proximitor and matching cable to form a 5-meter system, the probe fully complies with the American Petroleum Institute (API) 670 Standard (4th and 5th editions) regarding linear range, temperature stability, and physical interchangeability.
- ATEX / IECEx: Certified for operation in Zone 0, Zone 1, or Zone 2 explosive gas or dust atmospheres when installed alongside approved intrinsically safe zener barriers or galvanic isolators.
- CSA / North America: Approved for deployment in Class I, Division 1 and Division 2 hazardous work environments.
- Direct 5-Meter System Connectivity: Because this probe features an integrated 5.0-meter cable, it requires no intermediate extension cable.
- No Field Calibration Needed: The probe is strictly calibrated at the factory using an AISI 4140 steel target. Plant maintenance technicians can replace a damaged probe in the field with a brand new one without having to run manual system comparisons or re-calibrate the transmitter on a test bench.
- Backward System Support: The 3300 XL 8 mm reverse mount probe is fully backward-compatible with legacy first-generation Bently Nevada 3300 series 8 mm systems and can partially interface with 7200 series 5 mm probes, making it an excellent drop-in replacement part for older factory automation or plant upgrades.
