The Bently Nevada 330876-02-50-00-00 comes from the 3300 XL 50 mm Proximity Probe series. This probe survives the harshest steam turbine DE (driver end) environments. It maintains accurate measurements while exposed to high temperatures up to 200°C (392°F). The device also withstands intermittent spikes up to 250°C (482°F) for short periods.
This probe includes both front and rear seals for superior moisture protection. The high-temperature FluidLoc cable comes standard on all 50 mm probes. Together, these features prevent steam or moisture from entering the probe tip.
Special high-temperature ClickLoc connectors are also standard on the probe and extension cable. Each probe and cable includes connector protectors and a disposable installation tool. This tool keeps connectors free from contamination during setup.
The ClickLoc connector on the probe lead has a removable collar. This collar helps you route the cable through tight clearances inside machinery casings.
The 330876-02-50-00-00 follows a clear suffix structure:
| Suffix | Code | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Probe case type | 02 | M14x1.5 thread |
| Total length | 50 | 5.0 metres (16.4 feet) |
| Armor option | 00 | High temperature FluidLoc cable (no armor) |
| Agency approval | 00 | No approvals |
Important Note: Five meter probes are designed exclusively for use with the five meter Proximitor Sensor only. Do not pair this probe with standard extension cables.
Probe Case Thread: The unit uses M14x1.5 metric threads. Maximum thread engagement length is 21 mm.
Probe Tip Material: The tip is made from Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS). This material offers excellent heat and chemical resistance.
Probe Case Material: The case uses AISI 304 stainless steel (SST). This provides good corrosion resistance for harsh industrial environments.
Probe Cable: The cable is 75 Ω triaxial with PFA insulation. The FluidLoc design prevents fluid ingress. Total probe length is 5.0 metres as specified.
DC Resistance: From center to coaxial conductor, resistance measures 7.6 ± 0.8 Ω at 5.0 metre length.
Continuous Operating Range: The probe works reliably from -35°C to +200°C (-31°F to +392°F).
Short-Term Tolerance: The device withstands +250°C (+482°F) for less than 24 hours. This covers temporary overload or steam purge events.
Both operating and storage temperatures follow the same ranges.
The overall case diameter is 1.99 inches for both straight exit and side exit versions. The 330876-02-50-00-00 is a straight exit probe with M14x1.5 threads. A locknut with predrilled safety wire holes comes included.
This 5.0 meter probe has a unique design requirement. It must pair with a five meter Proximitor Sensor only. Standard Proximitor models for 1.0 or 9.0 meter probes will not work correctly. Always verify your Proximitor sensor length matches this probe.
First, clean the mounting hole threads thoroughly before installation. Use the included locknut with safety wire for secure mounting. Next, thread the 330876-02-50-00-00 into the machine casing until the probe tip reaches the correct gap.
Then, connect the probe cable directly to the five meter Proximitor Sensor. Do not use extension cables with this 5.0 meter probe. Always use the disposable connector protector tool during connection. This prevents contamination from affecting signal quality.
After installation, gap the probe between 0.5 and 1.75 mm (20 to 55 mils) from the target surface. The high-temperature FluidLoc cable resists moisture even in condensing steam environments.
Additionally, avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum radius. Use the removable collar on the ClickLoc connector when routing through tight spaces.
The Agency Approval Option 00 means this probe carries no hazardous area certifications. Use this model only in non-hazardous or general purpose locations. For approved versions, select the -05 suffix option instead.

1. Can I use the 330876-02-50-00-00 with a standard extension cable?
No. This 5.0 meter probe works exclusively with the five meter Proximitor Sensor only. Extension cables are not supported.
2. What makes this probe different from shorter 3300 XL probes?
The Bently Nevada 330876-02-50-00-00 has a 5.0 metre total length. Its DC resistance is 7.6 ± 0.8 Ω, higher than the 1.0 metre version.
3. Does this probe carry hazardous area approvals?
No. The -00 approval option means no certifications. Choose the -05 suffix for multiple approvals including ATEX and CSA.
4. What is the maximum temperature this probe can handle?
Continuous operation up to 200°C (392°F). Short-term spikes up to 250°C (482°F) for less than 24 hours are acceptable.
5. What shipping methods do you offer?
We ship via FedEx, UPS, or DHL. Each probe ships in original factory packaging to ensure safe delivery.
