Description
1. Product Title
Bently Nevada 330130-085-00-00 – 3300 XL Proximity Probe
2. Product Overview
The Bently 330130-085-00-00 is a precision proximity probe from the Bently Nevada 3300 XL series, engineered for accurate non-contact measurement of shaft position and vibration in rotating machinery. Designed to operate as part of a complete proximity transducer system (probe, extension cable, and proximitor), this probe plays a critical role in machinery protection and condition monitoring applications.
The Bently 330130-085-00-00 converts changes in the distance between the probe tip and the machine shaft into a stable electrical signal, enabling continuous monitoring of radial vibration, axial position, and other displacement-related parameters. Its robust mechanical construction and stable performance characteristics make it suitable for long-term use in demanding industrial environments where measurement accuracy and reliability are essential for preventing equipment damage and unplanned outages.
