Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada 330171-00-28-10-02-05 is a 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe assembly designed for non-contact eddy-current measurement of rotating machinery. It provides a 2 mm (80 mils) linear range at approximately 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil) sensitivity when paired with a compatible 3300 XL proximitor such as the 330180 series.
This probe assembly carries a 1.0 m integrated probe cable with a ClickLoc connector and multi-license agency approval. The 330171 family is part of the broader 3300 XL 8 mm transducer system, which is widely used for radial vibration, axial displacement, and Keyphasor reference on API 670-style monitoring channels. The exact mechanical configuration—such as thread length, unthreaded length, and mounting style—must be confirmed from the physical label before installation, as the 330171 family can be configured for different mounting arrangements.

Key Selling Points & Differentiators
- 1.0 m probe cable. Standard length that pairs cleanly with common 4.0 m or 8.0 m extension cables to reach 5.0 m or 9.0 m system lengths.
- ClickLoc connector. Provides a secure, tool-assisted connection that reduces the risk of loose or mis-mated coax connections.
- Multi-license approval. The “05” code supports installations requiring certified agency compliance, subject to label verification.
- Exact code match. This is the 1.0 m, ClickLoc, multi-license approval variant—no guessing on cable length or certification.
- Drop-in 3300 XL compatibility. Works with standard 3300 XL extension cables and 330180-series proximitors without matched-component calibration.
Quality Transparency SOP
- Part number verification. We confirm the label reads 330171-00-28-10-02-05 and matches the 3300 XL 8 mm probe assembly family.
- Cable and connector inspection. The 1.0 m cable jacket, ClickLoc connector, and probe tip are checked for cracks, corrosion, or pin damage.
- Continuity and insulation check. Using a Fluke multimeter, we verify center conductor continuity and shield integrity from probe end to connector.
- Thread and tip inspection. The probe threads and sensing face are checked for damage, galling, or contamination.
- ESD-safe packing. The probe is coiled to the recommended bend radius, sealed in an anti-static bag, and foam-packed to prevent connector stress.
Technical Risk Avoidance
❗ Confirm total system length before installation. This probe has a 1.0 m cable. The extension cable length must be selected so that probe cable + extension cable equals the proximitor system length—commonly 5.0 m, 7.0 m, or 9.0 m.
❗ Confirm mechanical configuration before installation. The 330171 family can be configured for different mounting arrangements. Verify the thread length, unthreaded length, and mounting style against the physical label and your bracket geometry.
❗ Verify proximitor compatibility. The probe must be paired with a 3300 XL proximitor calibrated for AISI 4140 steel and the correct system length. Mismatched proximitor models can shift sensitivity and gap-voltage settings.
❗ Confirm the approval drawing for hazardous areas. The “05” code means multi-license approval, but the exact installation requirements—such as temperature class, IP rating, and voltage limits—must be verified against the physical label before commissioning in Zone 2 / Division 2 areas.
❗ Do not cut, splice, or repair the cable. The 3300 XL probe cable has defined impedance and shielding characteristics. Any modification can degrade signal integrity and measurement accuracy.
Buyer’s FAQ
Is this a complete sensor system? No. This is the 8 mm probe assembly only. A complete measurement channel also requires a compatible 3300 XL extension cable and 3300 XL proximitor.
Can I replace a 330101-00-XX-10-02-05 with this? Electrically they are similar—both are 3300 XL 8 mm probes with 1.0 m cable, ClickLoc, and multi-license approval. However, the 330171 family may have a different mechanical configuration. Confirm thread length, unthreaded length, and mounting style before substitution.
Can I replace a 330171-00-28-05-02-05 with this? Not without checking cable length. The -05- variant has a 0.5 m probe cable, while this unit is 1.0 m. Changing cable length affects total system length and may require recalibration.
Does this include the extension cable and proximitor? No. Unless explicitly stated, this listing covers the probe assembly only. Extension cable and proximitor are separate line items.
Is this genuine Bently Nevada? Yes. We sell genuine surplus inventory. The part number is verified against the physical label before dispatch. No clones or rebuilt substitutions.
What warranty applies? Standard 12-month warranty against DOA and functional defects. Mechanical damage from incorrect installation, gap setting, or chemical exposure is not covered.
