Product Overview
The Bently Nevada 330173-04-08-10-02-00 is a 3300 5mm Probe with M8 x 1 thread and no armor. This industrial automation module acts as a direct replacement option for 3300-series proximity monitoring systems. The unit is made in the U.S.A. and is configured with a 40 mm unthreaded length, 80 mm overall case length, 1.0 metre total cable length, and a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with standard cable.
The probe tip is made of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and the probe case is made of AISI 304 stainless steel. Agency approval option 00 means no agency approval is required. The complete probe weighs 0.323 kg.
Technical Specifications
The values below apply to a proximity transducer system operating between +18°C and +27°C with a -24 Vdc power supply, a 10 kW load, an AISI 4140 steel target, and a probe gapped at 1.27 mm (50 mils).

Installation & Mounting Guidance
Use the M8 x 1 thread with a maximum engagement length of 12 mm. Keep the probe case torque between the recommended 5.1 N·m and the maximum 7.3 N·m. Tighten the connector-to-connector joint to a maximum of 0.565 N·m.
Maintain a minimum cable bend radius of 25.4 mm (1.0 in). Do not expose the probe below -34°C, because cold exposure can cause premature failure of the pressure seal. The reference gap for normal operation is 1.27 mm (50 mils) against an AISI 4140 steel target.
Reliability & Environmental Performance
The probe temperature range is -35°C to +177°C. In 60 Hz magnetic fields up to 300 Gauss (5 meter system), the probe output ranges from 0.0004 to 0.0045 mil pp/gauss depending on gap. This low magnetic-field response helps protect measurement stability in industrial environments.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
Verify that your application needs a 3300 5mm Probe with M8 x 1 thread and no armor. Confirm that total length option 10 equals 1.0 metre and connector option 02 uses a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector.
