Bently Nevada 31000-28-05-50-050-03-02 English Proximity Probe Housing Assemblies

Description

The 31000-28-05-50-050-03-02 is an English proximity probe housing assembly designed for use with 3300 XL 8 mm proximity transducer systems. This configuration features an 8 mm probe with a connector protector (Option 28) and a 0.5 m probe cable (Option 05). The assembly is constructed from polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), a high-strength thermoplastic material, combined with corrosion-resistant stainless steel components to provide robust mechanical and environmental protection for proximity probes mounted through machine cases. This housing assembly allows for external access to the proximity probe and its extension cable, enabling gap adjustments or probe replacements without requiring disassembly of the machinery. It is typically used for radial vibration or position measurements on rotating machinery. The assembly includes a 50 mm standoff adapter (Option 50), a 50 mm probe penetration depth (Option 050), two plugs with one M20 fitting (Option 03), and a 3/4-14 NPT mounting thread (Option 02). It is compliant with API 670 standards for externally mounted proximity probe housings.

Features

• Configured with 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe and connector protector for enhanced reliability
• PPS thermoplastic housing with stainless steel fittings for corrosion resistance
• Supports radial vibration and shaft axial position monitoring
• Allows for probe gap adjustment and replacement without machine disassembly
• Fully compliant with API 670 standards for external probe housings
• Compatible with hazardous area applications when installed with appropriate I.S. barriers

Applications

• Power generation equipment (turbines, generators)
• Oil and gas compressors and pumps
• Petrochemical processing machinery
• Rotating equipment requiring external access for vibration monitoring

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the machine casing is affixed to the bearing to obtain an accurate relative vibration signal.
• Install the outer sleeve into the machine case before inserting the probe sleeve.
• Adjust the probe gap after inserting the probe sleeve.
• Reconnect the probe cable and connector protector prior to sealing the housing cover.
• Tighten hole plug nuts to 0.5 N-m (5 in-lbs) if applicable.
• "C" plus "D" dimension combinations greater than 305 mm (12 in) require additional sleeve support near the probe to prevent resonance.
