Application in Rotating Machinery Protection
The 3300 XL 8mm probe provides high-resolution displacement data, enabling early detection of imbalance, misalignment, or bearing wear. The 9-inch probe penetration allows installation in machines with thick casings or insulation, while the 3/4-14 NPT mounting thread ensures a secure, leak-proof fit in standard industrial ports.

Installation Guidance for Engineers
Proper installation is critical for accurate readings. The assembly includes a dome cover, threaded conduit ports, a probe sleeve, O-rings, and a reverse mount proximity probe. The fittings option (03) supplies a 3/4-14 NPT plug, a 3/4-14 to 1/2-14 NPT reducer, and a cable seal grip with grommets for cable diameters from 1/8 to 3/8 inches. Ensure the probe tip is correctly positioned relative to the shaft target. The maximum (C) + (D) dimension of 13.5 inches must be respected to avoid mechanical interference. Verify that the probe cable (0.5 m) reaches the junction box without strain.
Maintenance and Reliability Considerations
Periodic inspection of the housing seals and cable integrity is recommended. The 303 stainless steel body and 304 stainless steel sleeve resist corrosion in humid or chemically aggressive environments. The assembly is supplied new and in original factory packing, ensuring no prior wear. For long-term reliability, avoid overtightening the conduit fittings and check O-ring condition during routine machine overhauls.
Robust Vibration Monitoring with the Bently Nevada 24701-28-05-00-090-03-02
Industrial rotating machinery demands precise, uninterrupted monitoring to prevent catastrophic failures. The Bently Nevada 24701-28-05-00-090-03-02 proximity probe housing assembly delivers a complete, sealed solution for shaft vibration and position measurement. This assembly integrates a 3300 XL 8mm probe with a 0.5-meter cable, a 9-inch probe penetration, and a 3/4-14 NPT mounting thread, all housed in a durable 303 stainless steel body with a 304 stainless steel sleeve. It is engineered for harsh environments where reliability is non-negotiable.

Compatibility and Integration
This assembly is designed for direct integration with Bently Nevada monitoring systems that accept 3300 XL 8mm proximity probes. The 3/4-14 NPT mounting thread is a common standard, simplifying retrofits into existing machine ports. The included fittings accommodate standard conduit sizes, easing field wiring. Always confirm that the probe cable length (0.5 m) matches the distance to your monitor.
