Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada 330180-X0-00 / 145004-113 – 3300 XL 8mm Proximitor Sensor is part of the industry-leading 3300 XL Series developed by Bently Nevada, a GE brand renowned for its expertise in machinery condition monitoring and protection.
This sensor is designed to accurately detect and measure the proximity (or displacement) of rotating machinery shafts relative to a fixed reference point. As part of a proximity transducer system, this sensor works in conjunction with a Proximitor® module and an extension cable to deliver precise, real-time shaft vibration and position data.
The 3300 XL 8mm sensor is most commonly deployed in critical machinery such as turbines, compressors, pumps, and gearboxes where axial and radial shaft movement must be monitored for protection, diagnostics, and predictive maintenance. This model is known for its rugged design, EMI immunity, and reliable performance in extreme environments, including high temperature and high vibration areas.
