Industry Applications
By providing a protective enclosure for the proximity probes, it shields them from dust, splashing liquid, and other environmental factors. The external mounting design allows probe adjustments from outside the machine, reducing downtime during maintenance. The assembly's compliance with API 670 ensures it meets the stringent requirements of the oil and gas, power generation, and petrochemical industries.

Installation & Setup Guidance
Mount the enclosure on the machine case using four standard machine screws. The probes are installed in sleeve/adapter assemblies that fit directly into two 3/4-in NPT threaded holes on the machine case. The removable cover provides access for setting the probe gaps. Fittings (supplied as a kit) include cable seal grips and NPT reducers; these are not pre-installed and must be assembled on-site. Ensure the probe cable length of 1.0 metre is adequate for your routing path.
Maintenance & Reliability
Periodically inspect the enclosure for signs of corrosion or damage, especially in harsh environments. Verify that the cable seal grips maintain a proper seal to prevent ingress of contaminants. The aluminum alloy housing with 304 stainless steel sleeves offers corrosion resistance. Regularly check probe gap settings through the removable cover to maintain accurate axial position measurement.
Dual Axial Probe Housing Assembly for Reliable Thrust Monitoring
When monitoring axial thrust position in critical rotating machinery, the Bently Nevada 21022-29-10-017-03 Dual Axial Probe Housing Assembly provides a robust, externally mounted solution. This assembly is engineered to house two proximity probes in a protective enclosure, allowing both probes to observe the end of the shaft for axial thrust position movement. Designed to meet the American Petroleum Institute's API 670 Standard for axial thrust position transducer housings, this unit ensures compliance with industry best practices.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
When selecting a dual axial probe housing, verify compatibility with your machine's mounting configuration and probe requirements. The 21022-29-10-017-03 includes a 3300 XL 11 mm probe with a 1.0 metre cable and 1.7 in penetration. For availability and lifecycle status, contact AutoDCSTech before ordering.
