Product Overview
In industrial rotating machinery systems, accurate vibration and displacement monitoring plays a vital role in protecting critical equipment, improving maintenance efficiency, and reducing unexpected production interruptions. The Bently Nevada 330195-02-12-10-00 3300 XL 8 mm ETR Reverse Mount Probe is a precision proximity measurement device designed for non-contact monitoring of shaft vibration, displacement, and position in demanding industrial environments.
The Bently Nevada 330195-02-12-10-00 belongs to the 3300 XL 8 mm Extended Temperature Range (ETR) Reverse Mount Probe series. It is specifically designed for applications requiring flexible installation methods, reliable signal measurement, and stable performance under challenging operating conditions.
This proximity probe uses eddy current sensing technology to measure the distance between the probe tip and a rotating shaft. Changes in shaft movement are converted into electrical signals, allowing machinery monitoring systems to analyze vibration conditions, shaft position, and equipment health.
The reverse mount configuration provides additional installation flexibility for machines where conventional probe mounting is restricted by mechanical structure or limited access.
The Bently Nevada 330195-02-12-10-00 configuration includes:
This probe is commonly applied in turbines, compressors, generators, pumps, motors, and other rotating equipment requiring continuous condition monitoring.
With a total length of 1 meter and a weight of 0.323 kg, the Bently Nevada 330195-02-12-10-00 provides a reliable sensing solution for industrial machinery protection and predictive maintenance applications.

Function and Working Principle
The Bently Nevada 330195-02-12-10-00 operates using eddy current proximity sensing technology to provide accurate non-contact shaft measurement.
During operation, the probe generates an electromagnetic field near the rotating shaft surface. When the distance between the probe and shaft changes, the electromagnetic characteristics vary. The system converts these changes into electrical output signals representing shaft movement.
The working process includes:
- Generating an electromagnetic sensing field
- Detecting shaft displacement changes
- Measuring shaft-to-probe clearance
- Converting mechanical movement into electrical signals
- Sending monitoring information to protection systems
The probe can monitor:
- Radial shaft vibration
- Axial shaft displacement
- Rotor position
- Mechanical clearance changes
- Rotating equipment operating conditions
This enables early detection of abnormal machine conditions and helps maintenance teams implement preventive actions.
