The 3300 XL Proximity Transducer System consists of a 3300 XL 8 mm probe, a 3300 XL extension cable, and a 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor. This system provides an output voltage that is directly proportional to the distance between the probe tip and the observed conductive surface, capable of measuring both static (position) and dynamic (vibration) values. The system reflects improvements over previous designs, including a patented TipLoc molding method, which creates a more robust bond between the probe tip and the probe body. Additionally, the probe’s cable features a patented CableLoc design, offering 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength to ensure a more secure attachment between the probe cable and the probe tip.
The 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System consists of:
• a 3300 XL 8 mm probe
• a 3300 XL extension cable
• a 3300 XL Proximitor® Sensor
The system provides an output voltage directly proportional to the distance between the probe tip and the observed conductive surface. It is capable of both static (position) and dynamic (vibration) measurements, and is primarily used for vibration and position measurement applications on fluid-film bearing machines, as well as Keyphasor® and speed measurement applications.
The 3300 XL 8 mm system represents our most advanced performance in an eddy current proximity transducer system. The standard 3300 XL 8 mm 5 metre system is also 100% compliant with the American Petroleum Institute’s (API) 670 Standard (4th Edition) for mechanical configuration, linear range, accuracy, and temperature stability. All 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer Systems achieve this level of
performance while allowing complete interchangeability of probe, extension cable, and Proximitor® Sensor without the need for individual component matching or bench calibration.
Each component of the 3300 XL 8 mm Transducer System is backward compatible and interchangeable3 with other non-XL 3300 series 5 and 8 mm transducer system components. This includes the 3300 5 mm probe, which is used when an 8 mm probe is too large for the available mounting space.
