Bently Nevada 330173-00-06-10-02-00 M8×1 Proximity Probe
An unarmored M8×1 probe with a 60 mm case and one-metre lead for 3300 5 mm measurement systems.
Key Information
330173-00-06-10-02-00 is the metric standard-mount probe in the Bently Nevada 3300 5 mm platform. The complete order code defines zero unthreaded length, a 60 mm case, one-metre lead, standard cable with connector protector and no agency approval option.
The probe works as one element of a calibrated chain with a 3300 XL extension cable and compatible 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor. Using XL electronics does not convert it into an 8 mm system; performance remains limited by the 5 mm probe system.
Functions
- Measures static shaft position and dynamic vibration without contacting the observed conductive surface.
- Supports Keyphasor and speed-measurement applications when the monitoring system is configured for the 5 mm transducer chain.
- ClickLoc connection locks the probe lead to the selected extension cable without special connector tools.
- Fluid-film-bearing measurements use the voltage change produced by the probe-to-target distance.

Installation
- Confirm the holder uses M8×1 and record the installed insertion depth and gap voltage before removal.
- Protect the unarmored cable from abrasion, heat and bend stress, and keep the ClickLoc joint clean.
- Choose the extension cable so probe plus cable equals the connected Proximitor system length.
- After installation, verify gap, polarity, monitor scaling, dynamic response and every alarm or trip function.
Lifecycle
- Keep the complete five-field suffix with the maintenance record rather than ordering from base number 330173 alone.
- Store the probe, extension-cable and Proximitor identities as one measurement-chain record.
- Review target material and geometry whenever the probe is moved to a different measurement point.
FAQ
Can 330173-00-06-10-02-00 be substituted with a 3300 XL 8 mm probe?
Not from dimensions alone. The 5 mm probe has its own mechanical identity and limits the complete chain to 3300 5 mm system performance.
Which cable information is needed to quote 330173-00-06-10-02-00 correctly?
Provide the installed extension-cable part number and Proximitor system length so the one-metre probe lead produces the correct calibrated total.
Can an armored 330174 version directly replace 330173-00-06-10-02-00?
Only after checking rear clearance, bend radius, ferrule diameter, routing and the exact holder geometry.
What installation mistake most risks a mismatched 330173-00-06-10-02-00 spare?
Ordering from M8 thread alone can miss case length, lead length, connector construction and approval requirements encoded in the suffix.
What should be recorded before removing 330173-00-06-10-02-00?
Capture the full label, probe depth, gap voltage, cable route, extension cable, Proximitor and monitor channel configuration.
Does the 00 approval suffix permit classified-area installation?
The suffix does not select agency approvals; use the specifically approved configuration and installation drawing where the area classification requires it.
