330101-00-14-10-02-00 is a Bently Nevada 3300 XL series standard eddy current probe with a total length of 1.0 meter (3.3 feet). This model features 3/8-24 UNF threads, 0.0‑inch unthreaded length, 1.4‑inch overall case length, a standard ClickLoc coaxial connector, and standard FEP‑insulated cable. It does not include armor or hazardous area approvals. Its most notable feature is the 1.4‑inch (approx. 35.6 mm) case length, which is longer than the common 0.8‑inch and 1.2‑inch cases, making it specifically suitable for very deep threaded mounting holes or exceptionally thick equipment walls.
With a total length of 1.0 m, this probe is typically used with a 4.0‑meter extension cable (e.g., 330130-040-00-00) and a 5‑meter Proximitor Sensor (e.g., 330180-50-00) to form a complete 5‑meter system (1.0 m probe + 4.0 m extension cable = 5 m system). This configuration is suitable for installations where the Proximitor Sensor is mounted close to the equipment (e.g., in a junction box) but the mounting hole depth requirements are more demanding.
Model Breakdown: 330101-00-14-10-02-00 Configuration Details
Following Bently Nevada’s part number coding system (refer to datasheet Pages 13-14), the fields in this model number represent the following:
Field | Code | Parameter | Description |
Base Model | 330101

Unthreaded Length (A) | 00
| 0.0 inches | Distance from probe tip to start of thread; shortest configuration |
Overall Case Length (B) | 14
| 1.4 inches | Total threaded length (code 14 = 1.4 inches) |
Total Length Option (C) | 10
| 1.0 meter (3.3 ft) | Total probe cable length (including connector) |
Connector & Cable Option (D) | 02
| Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector, standard cable | Standard FEP‑insulated cable, gold‑plated ClickLoc connector |
Agency Approval (E) | 00

Key Configuration Note: The defining feature of this model is its 1.4‑inch case length, one of the longer case options in the 330101 series. It is intended for installations requiring very deep thread engagement or exceptionally thick mounting flanges. The 1.0 m total length is for 5‑meter systems (paired with a 4.0 m extension cable). The unthreaded length is 0.0 inches, meaning the thread starts immediately after the probe tip. This model has no armor or hazardous area approvals, making it suitable for standard industrial environments.
Application Scenarios & Selection Guide
330101-00-14-10-02-00 is suitable for the following typical applications:
Standard 5‑Meter System Configuration: Paired with a 4.0 m extension cable (e.g., 330130-040-00-00) and a 5 m Proximitor Sensor (e.g., 330180-50-00) to form a complete 5‑meter monitoring system, ideal for compact layouts where the Proximitor Sensor is mounted near the equipment (e.g., in the same junction box or on the equipment casing).
Installations Requiring Very Deep Thread Engagement: The 1.4‑inch case length (approx. 35.6 mm) is longer than the standard 0.8‑inch and 1.2‑inch cases, suitable for extremely deep mounting holes or very thick equipment walls, such as turbine casings with heavy insulation, large compressor housings, or special mounting adapters.
Radial Vibration Monitoring: Suitable for shaft vibration measurement on fluid‑film bearing machines such as compressors, steam turbines, generators, and pumps.
Axial Position (Thrust) Monitoring: Can be used to measure rotor axial position and monitor thrust bearing wear.
Keyphasor / Speed Measurement: Can serve as a Keyphasor probe to provide speed reference signals.
Standard Industrial Environments: No armor, no hazardous area approvals – suitable for non‑hazardous, dry, clean installations.
Selection Notes:
Total Length Matching: Probe length + extension cable length = Proximitor Sensor total system length (5 m or 9 m). This 1.0 m probe must be used with a 4.0 m extension cable to form a 5‑meter system.
Case Length Selection: This model has a 1.4‑inch case length, which is one of the longer options. Before installation, carefully verify that the mounting hole depth can accommodate this long thread. If the mounting hole is shallow, select a model with a 0.8‑inch or 1.2‑inch case length (e.g., 330101-00-08-10-02-00 or 330101-00-12-10-02-00). Important: The recommended maximum thread engagement length is 0.563 inches (per the datasheet). The 1.4‑inch case is not meant to be fully threaded into the hole; the extra length accommodates the depth of the mounting hole. The actual engagement should still be limited to 0.563 inches using the lock nut and washers. Exceeding the recommended engagement may cause installation difficulty or probe damage.
Unthreaded Length: This model has 0.0‑inch unthreaded length. If your mounting hole has an internal shoulder or you need the probe tip to extend a certain distance, select a model with a longer unthreaded length (e.g., code "04" = 0.4 inches).
Ambient Temperature: Standard probe is rated to +177°C. If the application exceeds this temperature, select an ETR high‑temperature probe (330191/330192 series).
Hazardous Area Requirements: If the installation area has explosive gas atmospheres, select the version with hazardous area approvals (e.g., 330101-00-14-10-02-05, if available).
Armor Protection: If the cable may be subject to mechanical damage (crushing, abrasion), select an armored version (e.g., 330102 base model or the same specification with armor).
Mechanical Dimensions & Installation
Probe Tip Diameter: 8.0 mm (0.31 in)
Thread Specification: 3/8-24 UNF-2A; recommended lock nut torque: 11.2 N·m (100 in·lbf)
Overall Case Length: 1.4 in (35.6 mm)
Unthreaded Length: 0.0 in
Cable Outer Diameter: 3.68 mm (0.145 in) maximum
Connector Outer Diameter: 7.24 mm (0.285 in) maximum
Minimum Bend Radius: 25.4 mm (1.0 in)
Installation Tips: Before installation, carefully measure the effective thread depth of the mounting hole. Because the case length is 1.4 inches but the recommended thread engagement is only 0.563 inches, do not thread the entire case into the hole. Use the lock nut and washers to limit the effective engagement to ≤0.563 inches while ensuring a secure installation. Use the recommended Bently Nevada lock nut (part number 04301007) and tighten to the specified torque. Set the probe gap to the recommended -9 Vdc (approx. 1.27 mm), which can be monitored via the Proximitor Sensor output voltage.
