Product Details
The 330104-03-15-10-01-05 is an 8 mm armored proximity probe from the Bently Nevada 3300 XL series designed for non-contact vibration and shaft displacement measurement in rotating machinery. This model features an M10 x 1 thread profile with stainless-steel outer cable armor, a 30 mm unthreaded length, a 150 mm overall case length, and a 1.0-meter total cable length. It is equipped with a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector featuring a connector protector and holds comprehensive hazardous area agency approvals including CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications.
Mechanical Configuration and Suffix Breakdown
The base model 330104 designates an 8 mm proximity probe equipped with stainless-steel outer cable armor. The -03 option specifies a 30 mm unthreaded length, while the -15 code establishes a 150 mm overall case length for installation depth. The -10 suffix defines a total cable length of 1.0 meter (3.3 feet). The -01 option indicates a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with a protector, and the final -05 suffix denotes CSA, ATEX, and IECEx hazardous area approvals.
Signal Characteristics and System Integration
Operating on eddy-current principles, the probe senses the gap distance between its polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip and a conductive machine shaft, supporting standard -10 VDC gap voltage calibration. It provides a linear operating range of 2.0 mm (from approximately 0.25 mm to 2.25 mm) with a nominal scale factor of 7.87 V/mm (~200 mV/mil). The armored coaxial construction suppresses cross-talk and preserves rotor-dynamic signal fidelity across industrial installations.
Field Installation Guidelines
- Install probe tip perpendicular to shaft surface for accurate displacement measurement.
- Maintain insertion depth to achieve -10 VDC gap reference.
- Route armored coaxial cable with shielding grounded at a single point to minimize interference.
- Avoid sharp bends in cable to prevent conductor fatigue.
- Confirm driver calibration after installation to ensure proper scaling.

Tech & Buying Guide
Designing Robust SCADA Systems for Electrical Substation Automation
Electrical substation automation requires rigorous engineering standards to guarantee uninterrupted power distribution and grid stability. Therefore, control engineers must design supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) architectures with absolute precision. In my 15 years of commissioning power protection and substation automation systems, I have witnessed how meticulous SCADA design prevents catastrophic grid failures. Below, I outline the critical engineering practices required to build reliable substation SCADA solutions.
Demystifying Earthing, Grounding, and Bonding in Industrial Process Plants
Industrial automation networks, power distribution systems, and complex control loops rely heavily on proper grounding to maintain operational integrity. Therefore, control engineers and electrical specialists must thoroughly understand the distinctions between earthing, grounding, and bonding. In my 15 years of commissioning distributed control systems (DCS) and factory automation architectures, I have encountered numerous mysterious equipment failures caused by improper grounding practices. Below, I clarify these essential concepts and outline the industry standards governing industrial electrical safety.
Empowering Predictive Maintenance in PLC and SCADA Systems Through Maintenance Management
Industrial automation networks constantly generate vast streams of diagnostic data before major equipment failures occur. Therefore, integrating control systems with maintenance management platforms is essential for maximizing plant uptime. In my 15 years of commissioning programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) networks, I have witnessed how raw alarms sit unnoticed in controller buffers. Bridging the gap between automation software and computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) transforms early warning signals into actionable work orders. Below, I examine how this integration drives predictive maintenance across modern industrial facilities.
