Description

Engineered to protect critical transducer components in harsh industrial environments, the Bently Nevada 24701-16-05-00-035-04-02 is a robust proximity probe housing assembly designed for vibration and displacement monitoring systems. This assembly provides environmental protection and mechanical shielding for standard proximity probes, ensuring reliable performance in high-exposure locations such as turbine casings, compressor blocks, and pump housings.

The configuration of this specific housing assembly features a 303 stainless steel body mated with a 304 stainless steel sleeve to withstand corrosive atmospheres and physical impacts. This model incorporates a 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe with a 0.5-meter cable length, bypassing a standoff adapter for a direct-mount setup. With a dedicated 3.5-inch probe penetration depth and specialized NPT fittings, it ensures precise sensor positioning relative to the monitored rotating target.

Features

• Corrosion-Resistant Construction: Fabricated using premium 303 stainless steel for the main housing body and 304 stainless steel for the protective sleeve.
• Precise Probe Alignment: Designed to securely house and position a Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe.
• Direct Mounting Capability: Features 3/4-14 NPT mounting threads for seamless mechanical installation without requiring a standoff adapter.
• Environmental Protection: Protects terminal connections and internal cabling from moisture, dust, and industrial process fluids.

Applications

• Steam and gas turbine shaft vibration monitoring
• Hydroelectric generator radial and axial displacement tracking
• Industrial compressor and blower shaft relative vibration measurements
• Heavy rotating machinery protection and machinery diagnostics

Installation Guidelines

• Thread Verification: Inspect the 3/4-14 NPT mounting threads on both the machine casing and the housing assembly for debris before thread engagement.
• Sealing: Apply an appropriate industrial thread sealant to the mounting threads to maintain environmental sealing and prevent process leaks.
• Probe Insertion: Gently insert the 3300 XL 8 mm probe into the housing to ensure the cable and connector are not subjected to excessive bending or tension.
• Torque Limits: Tighten the housing assembly to specified mechanical torque values, ensuring you do not over-torque the NPT connections.
