Description
1. Product Title
Bently Nevada 330101-00-20-20-02-05 – 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe (Eddy Current Sensor)

2. Product Overview
The 330101-00-20-20-02-05 from Bently Nevada is a high-precision eddy current proximity probe designed for non-contact measurement of shaft vibration and displacement in rotating machinery. As part of the 3300 XL 8 mm series, it is engineered for integration with Bently Nevada’s condition monitoring systems, delivering accurate and reliable performance in critical industrial applications.
The 330101-00-20-20-02-05 is commonly used in turbomachinery such as turbines, compressors, and pumps. It detects shaft position and dynamic vibration by measuring the gap between the probe tip and a conductive surface. This enables early fault detection (e.g., imbalance, misalignment, and bearing wear), supporting predictive maintenance and improving equipment reliability.
