Description
The Bently Nevada 330101-00-40-05-02-00 is a 3300 XL 8mm proximity probe featuring standard English 3/8-24 UNF threads and an unthreaded length of 4.0 inches. This proximity sensor operates on eddy-current principles to measure static and dynamic shaft displacement, tracking parameters such as radial vibration, axial thrust position, and speed on high-speed rotating machinery.

Hardware Specifications
| Parameter | Value |
| Manufacturer | Bently Nevada (Baker Hughes) |
| Part Number | 330101-00-40-05-02-00 |
| Probe Tip Diameter | 8.0 mm (0.315 inches) nominal |
| Thread Size | 3/8-24 UNF |
| Unthreaded Length | 4.0 inches |
| Overall Case Length | 4.0 inches (Fully unthreaded barrel profile) |
| Total Cable Length | 0.5 meter (1.6 feet) |
| Scale Factor | 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil) when paired with 3300 XL Proximitor |
On a recent compressor turnaround project, we saw an installation encounter issues because the technician forgot that this 0.5-meter probe must be matched with an 8.5-meter extension cable to complete a 9.0-meter system loop. Well, technically it physically connects to a 4.5-meter extension cable too, but your total electrical length would drop to 5.0 meters. Because a 9.0-meter Proximitor requires a 9.0-meter total loop, mixing up these pairings immediately shifts your scale factor out of calibration bounds—honestly, check the total system length stamped on your Proximitor before routing the cable through the junction box.
Global Logistics, Customs, and Incoterms Compliance
Shipping precision monitoring hardware across international borders requires rigorous trade documentation to prevent customs delays.
HS Classification and Export Control Information
This hardware falls under Harmonized System Code 9031.80.80 (Other measuring or checking instruments, appliances, and machines). Because these sensors monitor high-performance turbomachinery, some destination ports require an explicit declaration of the end-user facility to clear security verification logs. We ensure all compliance forms and country-of-origin data are cleanly formatted to minimize border clearance times.
Incoterms 2020 Framework
- FCA (Free Carrier): Highly efficient if your corporate forwarder handles routine consolidation from our international fulfillment hubs.
- DAP (Delivered at Place): We oversee transit directly to your plant site via priority express courier (DHL or FedEx), which is the standard choice for emergency forced-outage remediation.
Procurement FAQ
- What does the “-02” connector option represent?
The -02 designation specifies a miniature coaxial connector with a click-lock mechanism, shipped without an additional fluid connector protector.
- Can this probe handle continuous immersion in synthetic lubricating oils?
Yes, the polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) probe tip and case are sealed against typical industrial fluids, including hydrocarbon-based and synthetic lubricants, within its rated operating temperature range.
- How do I adjust the mechanical gap during installation?
Don’t underestimate this step: use a digital voltmeter connected to the Proximitor’s “OUT” and “COM” terminals to monitor the DC gap voltage while threading the probe into the bracket. For a standard calibration loop, aim for a baseline of −10.0 V DC at the center of the linear range before tightening the locknuts.
