3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System Introduction

The system provides an output voltage that is directly proportional to the distance between the probe tip and the observed conductive surface and can measure both static (position) and dynamic (vibration) values. The system’s primary applications are vibration and position measurements on fluid-film bearing machines, as well as Keyphasor reference and speed measurements3.

The 3300 XL 8 mm system delivers the most advanced performance in our eddy current proximity transducer systems. The standard 3300 XL 8 mm 5-meter system also fully complies with the American Petroleum Institute’s (API) 670 Standard for mechanical configuration, linear range,accuracy, and temperature stability. All 3300 XL 8 mm proximity Transducer systems provide this level of performance and support complete interchangeability of probes, extension cables, and Proximitor sensors, eliminating the need to match or bench calibrate individual components. Each 3300 XL 8 mm Transducer System component is backward compatible and interchangeable4 with other nonXL 3300 series 5 mm and 8 mm transducer system components5. This compatibility includes the 3300 5 mm probe, for applications in which an 8 mm probe is too large for the available mounting space.

Additionally, the 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System features design improvements such as the patented TipLoc molding method for a more robust probe tip-body bond, and the CableLoc design, which enhances cable strength for secure attachment. With options like the FluidLoc cable, the system provides even greater reliability by preventing oil and other liquids from leaking through the cable.
