Features:
- CSA Type 4 certified for hazardous area installations with API 670 compliance.
- Includes 8mm probe with hazardous area approvals and 0.5m cable.
- 4.0" standoff and 2.6" penetration for precise probe positioning.
The 21000-28-05-40-026-04-02 features a rugged aluminum housing specifically designed for externally mounting proximity probes in hazardous industrial environments. The housing is CSA Type 4 certified, providing explosion-proof protection for installations in potentially explosive atmospheres. This certification ensures that the 21000-28-05-40-026-04-02 meets stringent safety requirements for use in refineries, chemical plants, and other hazardous locations. The housing includes a dome cover that screws securely into the body, threaded ports for conduit connections, and O-rings for sealing. The aluminum construction offers excellent durability while maintaining a lightweight profile for easy installation.
The 21000-28-05-40-026-04-02 is equipped with a 3300 XL 8mm proximity probe (option 28) featuring selectable hazardous area approvals for intrinsically safe applications. The probe includes a 0.5-meter (20-inch) cable length, providing flexibility for connection to the monitoring system. The 21000-28-05-40-026-04-02 is fully compatible with the 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Transducer System and is interchangeable with standard 3300 series components. This integration eliminates the need for separate probe and housing procurement, simplifying the ordering process.
The 21000-28-05-40-026-04-02 provides precision adjustable mounting with a 4.0-inch standoff adapter (option C) and a 2.6-inch probe penetration (option D). The standoff adapter allows the housing to be positioned at the optimal distance from the machine case, while the probe penetration determines how far the probe extends toward the target surface. The 21000-28-05-40-026-04-02 features a 3/4-14 NPT mounting thread (option F:02) and includes a single 3/4-14 NPT plug fitting (option E:04). For probe penetration lengths greater than 300mm (12 inches), additional sleeve support is required.
The 21000-28-05-40-026-04-02 Bently Nevada Aluminum Probe Housing may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond
End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Turbomachinery Diagnostics: Protecting probes that measure radial vibration, axial thrust position, and speed/keyphasor metrics on industrial steam turbines, gas turbines, and large compressors.
- Hydroelectric & Thermal Power Plants: Installed on generator bearings and cooling pump shafts to provide continuous structural health monitoring.
- Petrochemical & Oil Refineries: Guarding critical 3300 XL proximity sensors against process fluids, lubricants, and high mechanical forces on large centrifugal pumps.
- External Maintenance Access: Used specifically when engineers need to adjust the probe gap or swap out an extension cable from the outside of the machine casing without forcing a complete machine teardown or shutdown.
- Internal Transducer Routing: The internal 0.5-meter 3300 XL coaxial cable connects directly to the reverse-mount probe tip inside the stainless steel sleeve.
- Conduit Port Connectivity: The housing body features dual threaded ports (configured via the -04 option with a single 3/4-14 NPT plug) allowing for the installation of rigid or flexible industrial electrical conduits.
- Field Wiring Termination: The external extension cable exits the sealed dome enclosure through the conduit and runs back to a remote Proximitor Sensor (signal conditioner). This Proximitor translates the raw eddy-current voltage into standard machine metrics for monitoring networks like the Bently Nevada 3500 Machinery Protection System or modern condition-monitoring host software.
- API 670 Compliance: Fully satisfies the American Petroleum Institute (API) 670 Standard for machinery protection systems, which dictates structural rigidity, spacing, and probe mounting safety.
- North American Standards (CSA/FM): Certified for Class I, Division 1 and 2, Groups C and D; Class II, Groups E, F, and G environments.
- ATEX / IECEx Zones: Approved for Zone 0, Zone 1, and Zone 2 hazardous gas and dust locations when wired through appropriate safety barriers.
- Environmental Enclosure Rating: Features a CSA Type 4 (equivalent to NEMA 4 or IP66) weatherproof rating. The threaded dome cover and high-performance internal O-rings completely isolate internal electrical contacts from rain, high-pressure water jets, oil splash, and dust.
