Features:
- The housing allows gap adjustment and probe replacement without removing machine casing, significantly reducing maintenance downtime and labor costs.
- Probe option 28 includes CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications, enabling use in intrinsically safe applications when paired with appropriate I.S. barriers.
- Polyphenylene sulfide housing with stainless steel components provides excellent chemical resistance and high strength, fully meeting API 670 standards.
The 32000-28-05-00-070-03-02 is designed to solve a common maintenance challenge: accessing proximity probes mounted inside machine casings. Traditional installations require partial machine disassembly to adjust probe gap or replace a failed transducer, leading to extended downtime and increased labor costs. This housing provides a sealed passage through the machine case, allowing the probe and extension cable to be accessed externally.
The 32000-28-05-00-070-03-02 incorporates probe option 28, which specifies a 3300 XL 8 mm probe with multiple hazardous area approvals including CSA, ATEX, and IECEx. When installed with appropriate intrinsic safety barriers, this housing assembly can be deployed in Zone 0, Zone 1, Division 1, and Division 2 classified locations commonly found in refineries, chemical plants, and offshore platforms. The PPS housing itself provides mechanical and environmental protection but is not explosion-proof; for applications requiring explosion-proof certification, Bently Nevada offers CA21000 and CA24701 housings instead.
The 32000-28-05-00-070-03-02 is constructed from polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), an advanced high-strength thermoplastic with exceptional corrosion resistance to acids, alkalis, and hydrocarbons commonly found in industrial environments. Stainless steel components complement the PPS housing for maximum durability. The housing fully complies with the American Petroleum Institute's API 670 Standard for externally mounted proximity probe housings, ensuring it meets industry-accepted requirements for mechanical configuration, material quality, and dimensional accuracy.
The 32000-28-05-00-070-03-02 Bently Nevada Metric Proximity Probe Housing Assemblies may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond
End-Of-Life (EOL)by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Critical Turbo-Machinery Protection: Extensively mounted directly onto the bearing housings of large utility steam turbines, high-speed gas turbines, multi-stage axial/centrifugal compressors, and heavy power generators.
- High-Load Process Machinery: Utilized to monitor high-pressure boiler feed water pumps, crude oil export pumps, cracking unit blowers, and large industrial reduction gearboxes.
- Non-Contact Metric Acquisition: Provides a rock-solid, vibration-resistant mount for the internal 8mm probe to capture micro-inch changes in Radial Vibration (shaft dynamic orbit), Axial Position (rotor thrust displacement), Eccentricity, and Speed / Keyphasor reference timing.
- Severe Temperature Spectrum: Rated to operate reliably without structural fatigue or electrical signal drift across a wide temperature envelope from -51 °C to +105 °C, easily handling high casing heat conduction or sub-zero outdoor winters.
- Hazardous Area Compliances (Option 05): The encapsulated 3300 XL probe carries full explosion-proof certifications. When paired with galvanic isolation barriers, the circuitry is certified under ATEX, IECEx, and CSA for Intrinsically Safe (IS) and Non-Incendive operation in Zone 0, Zone 1, or Class I, Div 1 locations containing volatile gases or dust.
- Corrosive & Fluid Submersion Defense: The housing shell is crafted from high-grade Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) and 316L Stainless Steel, rendering it 100% immune to hot synthetic turbine lubes, sour gas, chemical vapors, and heavy salt spray. Featuring an IP68-rated M20 cable gland, the dome prevents high-pressure washdowns, torrential downpours, or cooling tower condensation from entering and short-circuiting the cable connections.
- Dynamic Modulated Output: The internal 0.5-meter probe cable routes out of the M20 cable gland to link with a 3300 XL extension cable. This line transmits high-frequency radio frequency (RF) eddy-current fields back to a 3300 XL Proximitor® Sensor, which instantly translates the raw RF into a standard analog voltage scale of -200 mV/mil (7.87 V/mm).
- Mechanical Rigidity & False-Trip Elimination: The -070 parameter provides a rigid 70mm internal sleeve penetration depth. Backed by the 3/4-14 NPT casing mount and dual internal mechanical locknuts, the assembly locks the probe at a micrometric initial gap clearance (typically calibrated around a standard -10 Vdc baseline). This rigid lock prevents sensor displacement caused by severe structural pipe shaking or maintenance foot traffic, entirely eliminating costly false-trips in the control system.
