Features:
- Interface Between the Proximity Probe and Industrial Monitoring Systems
- Combines Robust Stainless Steel Construction with Hazardous Area Certification
- Operates in Conjunction with 3300 XL 8mm Probes and API 670 Compliant Installations
The Bently Nevada 24701-34-05-00-030-04-02 Proximity Probe Housing Assembly serves as the external mounting solution for proximity probes in demanding industrial environments, providing reliable protection and secure installation for vibration monitoring applications. It continuously safeguards the 3300 XL 8mm probe with connector protector through its stainless steel housing design, accommodating a probe cable length of 20 inches (0.5 meters) and probe penetration of 3.0 inches while distributing secure mounting capability through the 3/4-14 NPT threaded connection to support steady state operation of machinery protection systems. Seamless integration with hazardous area requirements is standard with the 24701-34-05-00-030-04-02, however using the optional CSA approval configuration will allow certified operation in explosion proof environments in the event of flammable atmosphere presence. The 24701-34-05-00-030-04-02 has made improvements in several areas over previous housing designs in addition to incorporating universal mounting thread capability within the 24701 product line.
The 24701-34-05-00-030-04-02 provides essential housing functions common to externally mounted proximity probe installations, and is a critical component of the measurement path, directly affecting the proper, normal operation of the overall vibration monitoring system. One 24701-34-05-00-030-04-02 housing assembly is required per probe installation depending on the desired sleeve length and standoff adapter configuration. The 24701-34-05-00-030-04-02 occupies a compact external mounting footprint and is always located at the machinery access point (dedicated probe penetration position, the 3.0 inch probe extension location).
For applications requiring sleeve length beyond 304 mm (12 inches), the 24701-34-05-00-030-04-02 housing assembly requires additional probe support and oil seal (part number 37948-01) installed to prevent vibration associated with unsupported long sleeve lengths. In addition to standard single housing operation, the 24701-34-05-00-030-04-02 configuration also performs automatic compatibility with ceramic capped probes when used with alternative 164818 compact housing options. The 24701-34-05-00-030-04-02 stainless steel housing executes environmental protection using the dome cover and O-ring sealing specified in the housing assembly components. Using this method, the 24701-34-05-00-030-04-02 continually maintains CSA Type 4 enclosure integrity. If the system detects that the housing is no longer providing adequate environmental protection (outside configured sealing specifications), it will automatically alert maintenance personnel through visible inspection and place the probe measurement in the monitoring system maintenance list.
The 24701-34-05-00-030-04-02 Bently Nevada Proximity Probe Housing Assembly may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Condition New Original ready stock
- Product Family 24701-34-05-00-030-04-00,24701-34-05-00-030-04-01
Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
- External Mounting: Designed for situations where a proximity probe must be mounted outside a machine's bearing housing.
- Vibration Monitoring: Used for measuring shaft vibration and position in industrial rotating equipment like turbines, compressors, and pumps.
- Harsh Environments: The 24701 model's 303 stainless steel body and 304 stainless steel sleeve offer superior resistance to corrosion and wear compared to aluminum alternatives.
- Gap Adjustment: The housing design allows for manual gap adjustment of the probe externally.
- System Calibration: The included 3300 XL 8 mm probe must be used with a compatible 3300 XL Proximitor® Sensor and extension cable to maintain the standard scale factor (typically 200 mV/mil or 7.87 V/mm).
- Sleeve Support: For penetration lengths (options C + D) greater than 12 inches (305 mm), additional sleeve support is required to prevent mechanical resonance.
- API 670 Standard: Fully compliant with the American Petroleum Institute’s (API) 670 Standard for externally mounted proximity probe housings.
- Explosion-Proof: When configured correctly, it is CSA-rated for Class I (Div 1 & 2, Groups C & D), Class II (Div 1 & 2, Groups E, F, & G), and Class III.
- Intrinsically Safe: Can be used in intrinsically safe applications when paired with approved Proximitor® Sensors and safety barriers.
- Environmental Protection: Rated as a CSA Type 4 enclosure, providing protection against water and dust.
- Temperature Range: Supports operating temperatures from -51°C to +177°C (-60°F to +351°F) for the included 3300 XL probe.
