Key Features and Benefits
The 3300/16-11-01-03-00-00-01 excels in precision, with a sensing range of 0 to 0.25 inches that captures subtle shaft movements—essential for detecting early bearing wear or rotor misalignment. Its broad frequency response (0 to 10,000 Hz) ensures it tracks both low-speed shaft position and high-frequency vibration, leaving no critical anomaly undetected.
Durability is another strength. The stainless steel probe tip resists corrosion and abrasion, while the nickel-plated housing withstands harsh industrial environments—from humid refineries to dusty power plants. IP67 ingress protection shields against water and dust, ensuring reliable performance in challenging conditions.
The 10-foot cable offers flexibility in installation, allowing placement in tight spaces without compromising signal integrity. Compatibility with Bently Nevada’s 3300 and 3500 systems simplifies integration into existing setups, reducing setup time and ensuring data flows seamlessly to monitoring platforms. By providing accurate, real-time data, the 3300/16-11-01-03-00-00-01 enables facilities to shift from reactive to predictive maintenance, cutting costs associated with unplanned shutdowns.
Application Scenarios
The 3300/16-11-01-03-00-00-01 is vital in industries where rotating machinery reliability is critical. In power generation, it monitors turbine shafts, tracking axial movement caused by thermal expansion or thrust bearing wear. For example, in a coal-fired plant, it detects subtle shifts that could indicate bearing degradation, allowing maintenance before turbine failure disrupts electricity supply.
In oil and gas operations, the 3300/16-11-01-03-00-00-01 safeguards centrifugal compressors, where high pressure can cause shaft misalignment. It measures radial vibration to identify impeller wear, preventing leaks and production halts. Its ability to operate in extreme temperatures makes it suitable for offshore platforms, where equipment is exposed to harsh weather.
Chemical processing plants use the
3300/16-11-01-03-00-00-01 to monitor pump shafts, ensuring position stays within safe limits to prevent seal damage and fluid leaks. By correlating its data with vibration readings, operators gain a complete view of machinery health.

Installation and Maintenance
Installation of the 3300/16-11-01-03-00-00-01 requires mounting the probe 0.05 to 0.25 inches from the target shaft, ensuring a stable, vibration-free bracket to prevent misalignment. The 10-foot cable should be routed away from high-voltage lines to avoid electromagnetic interference, and the Micro-D connector must be securely fastened to the monitoring system. Proper grounding is critical to maintain signal integrity, with a dedicated ground point recommended.
Maintenance involves quarterly inspections: check the probe tip for oil, dirt, or corrosion, as buildup can skew readings. Clean with a soft cloth if needed. Annual calibration using Bently Nevada-approved tools ensures precision. Inspect the cable for kinks or insulation damage, replacing it if worn to prevent signal loss. In high-contamination environments, more frequent cleaning may be necessary to sustain reliable performance.
