Product Details
The 330104-00-02-50-02-00 is an 8 mm proximity probe from Bently Nevada, operating as a dedicated eddy-current sensing element for rotor-to-probe displacement measurement within 3300 XL vibration monitoring systems. This configuration features a 0 mm unthreaded length, a 20 mm overall case length, and a 5.0-meter signal path. It provides stable mechanical-to-electrical transduction for industrial rotating machinery protection.
Construction and Core Performance
The probe is constructed with a polyphenylene sulfide tip, a stainless-steel housing, and a Viton O-ring seal to withstand harsh operating conditions. The PPS tip and stainless-steel case maintain stable eddy-current field geometry, reducing thermal drift while supporting the standard -10 VDC gap voltage target across proximitor interfaces.
Configuration and Installation Guidelines
The part number structure designates a 20 mm case length combined with an extended 5.0-meter standard cable terminated with a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector. The final -00 suffix indicates that agency approvals are not required for this particular unit configuration.

Field Installation Guidelines
- Maintain straight, strain-relieved routing of the 5.0-meter cable and avoid tight bends near the ClickLoc connector to preserve coaxial impedance.
- Ensure the probe tip is aligned perpendicular to the rotor surface and verify the gap voltage during commissioning to confirm correct mechanical positioning.
- Bond cable shielding at the driver end only to prevent ground-loop interference.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the probe require a specific extension cable length for correct scaling?
A: Yes, eddy-current probes must be paired with the exact cable length defined by the part number to maintain -10 VDC gap voltage calibration.
Q: Is the Viton O-ring pressure-tested before shipment?
A: No, standard probes are not pressure-tested; applications requiring verified sealing should utilize custom-tested units.

Tech & Buying Guide
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.
Understanding Industrial Annunciator Panels: Critical Alarm Management in Process Control
An industrial annunciator panel is a dedicated visual and audible alert device. It monitors equipment statuses and alerts operators to abnormal process conditions. Traditionally, these panels feature multiple back-lit windows engraved with specific plant alarms. When a sensor trips, the window flashes and a horn sounds to attract immediate operator attention. Therefore, plant personnel quickly identify critical faults across complex factory automation environments.
