- Recommended mounting torque: 15.2 N•m (133 in•lb)
- Maximum torque: 45.2 N•m (400 in•lb) – do not exceed
- Connector torque: finger tight (max 0.565 N•m / 5 in•lb)
- Minimum bend radius: 25.4 mm (1.0 in) – protects cable
- Shipping weight: 0.17 kg
- Certifications & classifications
- Multiple approvals: EPL Ga/Gc/Dc (temperature class T1 to T5)
- Temperature schedule per ambient – see full T-class list above
- Suitable for hazardous areas with proper barrier
Installation & Setup Guidance
- Always use recommended torque 15.2 N•m. Over-tightening may damage threads.
- Maximum thread engagement 0.750 inch (1/2-20). Do not force beyond.
- Keep bend radius >25.4 mm to avoid internal cable fracture.
- For temperatures below -34°C (-30°F) consult us — pressure seal may be affected.
- Hand-tighten the ClickLoc connector only. Never use tools.
Diagnostic Capabilities & System Compatibility
- Directly compatible with Bently Nevada 3300 XL monitors, extension cables and drivers.
- Measures: shaft relative vibration, axial position, eccentricity, speed.
- Output signal: negative voltage proportional to gap (‑1 to ‑22 Vdc typical).
- Works with 3300 XL proximitors and signal conditioners.
What’s in the box & warranty

- Warranty: 12 months against defects in materials and workmanship.
- Shipping: We ship via FedEx, UPS, DHL worldwide. Fast tracked available.
Frequently Asked Questions – Experience-based
- What is the difference between this 330701 (without armor) and 330702 (with armor)?
- 330701 has no outer stainless steel armor — it is lighter and more flexible. Choose 330702 if the cable will be exposed to heavy abrasion or crushing.
- Can I use this probe with a 5-meter extension cable?
- Yes. The total length suffix “10” means 1.0 m probe. Add a 5 m extension (e.g. 3300 XL extension cable) for a 6 m system.
- My machine has M16x1.5 mounting holes. What adapter do I need?
- This probe has 1/2-20 UNF thread. Use Bently part 3300-XX adapter or a simple M16x1.5 to 1/2-20 bushing.
- How do I verify the probe is working before installation?
- Measure DC resistance between center pin and connector body. For 1 m probe it should be 5.9 Ω ±0.5. Also check for any shorts.
- Is this probe suitable for high-pressure hydrogen environment?
- PPS tip and Viton seal resist many chemicals. For hydrogen, confirm with our engineers — we can supply pressure-tested units.
- What is the delivery time?
- In stock items ship within 24 hours via FedEx/UPS/DHL. Custom lengths may take 3-5 days.
- Can I get this probe with 9 m total length?
- Yes. Order suffix “90” instead of “10”. Same part number structure (e.g. 330701-00-30-90-02-05).
Selection Guide – Quick tips
- Suffix “30” means 3.0 inch case length – common for standard mounting.
- Choose “without armor” (330701) when cable runs in conduit or protected tray.
- Connector “02” (ClickLoc) fits all 3300 XL extension cables – no adapter needed.
- For Zone 0/1/2 hazardous areas, suffix “05” provides required multiple approvals.
- Need longer reach? Select total length 5 m (suffix 50) or 9 m (suffix 90).
Typical Applications
- Steam turbines, gas turbines, hydro generators.
- Centrifugal & axial compressors, gearboxes, pumps.
- Large electric motors, fans, paper machine rolls.
- Thrust monitoring, differential expansion, eccentricity.
