Product Overview
When probe tip detachment or cable pull-out threatens the reliability of critical machinery monitoring, the Bently Nevada 330141-08-50-01-00 delivers proven robustness. This 3300 XL 8 mm probe with armor is engineered with patented TipLoc and CableLoc designs that provide a strong bond between probe tip and body, along with 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength to secure the cable. Manufactured in the U.S.A., this probe ensures stable performance in harsh industrial environments.

Industry Applications
The Bently Nevada 330141-08-50-01-00 is ideal for vibration monitoring on rotating machinery such as steam turbines, compressors, and large pumps. Its 8 mm diameter and armored construction offer superior resistance to physical abuse, making it suitable for high-vibration environments where previous generation probes often failed. The 5.0-meter cable length pairs specifically with the 5-meter Proximitor sensor, ensuring accurate displacement measurements within an 80 mil linear range.
Maintenance & Reliability
Thanks to the patented TipLoc molding method, the probe tip remains securely attached even under mechanical stress. The CableLoc design provides 330 N pull strength, reducing the risk of cable pull-out during installation or operation. For optimal longevity, avoid exposing the probe to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F), as this may compromise the pressure seal. Periodic visual inspection of the connector and cable is recommended. An optional FluidLoc cable option can prevent oil leakage through the cable interior, further enhancing reliability in lubricated environments.
Selection Guide
When ordering the Bently Nevada 330141-08-50-01-00, confirm your system requires a 5.0-meter probe for use with the 5-meter Proximitor sensor only. The miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with protector is standard. This probe does not require agency approval. For genuine Bently Nevada parts and expert support, choose PLC Source PRO as your trusted supplier. Ensure compatibility with your existing 3300 XL system to maximize uptime.
