🎯 Critical Functions

Precise Probe Positioning: The housing's threaded design allows fine adjustment of probe tip-to-target gap, ensuring measurements fall within the linear range for accurate vibration and position data.

Mechanical Protection: Shields the probe from impact damage, thermal shock, and environmental contamination while maintaining rigid mounting that prevents measurement errors from housing vibration.

Installation Flexibility: Compatible with various mounting configurations including bearing caps, machine casings, and custom brackets—adapts to both new installations and retrofit projects.

⚙️ Installation Best Practices

✓ Gap Setting: Position probe tip 40 mils (1.0mm) from target surface for optimal linear range
✓ Lock Nut Torque: Apply 15-20 ft-lbs to prevent loosening from vibration
✓ Alignment: Ensure housing axis is perpendicular to target surface within ±2 degrees
✓ Cable Routing: Provide strain relief within 6 inches of housing exit
✓ Thread Sealant: Use anti-seize compound on threads for future serviceability

💼 Application Environments

This housing assembly excels in demanding industrial settings where probe stability directly impacts measurement reliability. Common applications include turbine bearing monitoring, compressor shaft surveillance, pump vibration analysis, and motor condition monitoring across power generation, oil and gas, chemical processing, and heavy manufacturing sectors.

The 316 stainless steel construction resists corrosion from process chemicals, saltwater spray, and acidic condensates—making it ideal for offshore platforms, marine propulsion systems, and chemical plant installations where carbon steel housings would fail prematurely.

🔧 System Compatibility

Works with all Bently Nevada 8mm proximity probes including standard, high-temperature, and armored cable variants. Integrates seamlessly with 3300 XL proximitor systems and 3500 rack monitoring platforms. Can be used with extension cables and junction boxes for complex routing requirements.
