168209-0317-127-90-05-01 Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probe
The Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probe (Model 168209-0317-127-90-05-01) delivers reliable, non-contact shaft vibration and displacement readings for high-speed industrial machinery. Featuring a specialized 3/8-24 UNF flexible short-case design, it addresses the technical pain point of installing sensors within limited housing clearances where standard rigid-case probes fail to fit. This configuration is optimized for oil-lubricated fluid-film bearing environments, safeguarding major plant machinery such as industrial gearboxes, pumps, and mid-sized steam turbines from unexpected catastrophic failures.
Engineer's Note: When setting up the 168209 flex-short system, avoid pulling or tightly twisting the flexible lead neck. Because this probe utilizes a 0.5-meter internal cable, it functions as part of a calibrated circuit. It must connect to a matching 3300 XL Extension Cable to total either a 5-meter or 9-meter overall system span. Coupling this loop with a non-XL series Proximitor will trigger major calibration offsets.
Product FAQ
What is the benefit of a "Flex Short" probe housing over a standard rigid case?
Standard rigid cases require a long, straight clearance paths during installation. The Flex Short design uses a shorter overall thread body and a flexible transition piece at the cable exit, allowing it to fit into extremely tight spatial profiles or tight junction brackets where a traditional probe cable would kink or break.
Can this probe be exposed to chemical lubricants and synthetic oils inside the machine?
Yes. The 3300 XL 8mm probe head is constructed from high-grade Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), which inherently resists degrading from harsh synthetic lubricants, moisture, and common industrial chemical washes.
Do I need special tools to connect the ClickLoc coaxial terminal?
No tools are necessary. The ClickLoc design is engineered for manual connection. Pushing the connectors together locks them securely; using wrenches or pliers on the miniature coaxial joint will crimp the internal core and ruin the signal path.
Project Case Study
"This exact 9-meter, hazardous-area certified model was successfully deployed for a major petrochemical manufacturing plant in Indonesia. Installed on a critical high-speed gas compressor loop, the sensor has operated flawlessly under extreme tropical humidity and high-vibration conditions. By utilizing the 9-meter integrated cable design, the plant eliminated mid-way junction boxes on the machine deck, successfully preventing moisture ingress and ensuring zero unplanned downtime since commissioning."
