Product Overview
Compared to previous iterations, the 330102 probe integrates innovative engineering: the patented TipLoc molding method creates a stronger bond between the probe tip and body, enhancing durability. Its cable features the patented CableLoc design, which delivers a pull strength of 330 N (75 lbf) to secure the cable and tip connection. For specialized environments, an optional FluidLoc cable is available, preventing oil and other liquids from leaking through the cable interior—ideal for machinery with fluid exposure.

FAQ
What is the difference between the 330102 and non-armored probes (e.g., 330101)?
The 330102 features an armored cable for added protection against physical damage, making it ideal for harsh environments. Non-armored models like the 330101 are better suited for controlled settings with minimal abrasion risks.
Can the 330102 probe be used with 3500 Machinery Protection Systems?
Yes, the 330102 is fully compatible with Bently Nevada 3500 Machinery Protection Systems, as part of the 3300 XL transducer ecosystem.
What is the maximum operating temperature for the 330102?
The probe is designed to operate in industrial temperature ranges typical for Bently Nevada 3300 XL systems (consult the datasheet for exact limits based on cable type).
How often should the 330102 probe be calibrated?
Calibration intervals depend on application conditions, but we recommend annual checks to maintain measurement accuracy, especially in high-vibration or corrosive environments.
Is the FluidLoc cable option mandatory for oil-based machinery?
No, but the FluidLoc cable is highly recommended for machinery with oil or fluid exposure to prevent leaks and extend cable life.
The 330102 Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm Armored Proximity Probe combines precision, durability, and versatility, making it a trusted choice for critical machinery monitoring. With customizable configurations and industry approvals, it meets the demands of diverse industrial applications.
