Technical FAQs

1. What is the main purpose of the Bently Nevada 24701-16-10-00-037-00-01?

This assembly provides a protected mounting enclosure for proximity probes used to measure shaft vibration, displacement, and position on rotating equipment.

2. Which probe is configured with this housing assembly?

This model includes the 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe configuration, designed for accurate non-contact shaft measurement.

3. What does the “16” option represent?

The 16 option identifies the housing assembly configuration with a 3300 XL 8 mm probe with connector.

4. What does the “10” option indicate?

The 10 option specifies a 1.0-meter (39-inch) probe cable length, providing additional installation flexibility between the probe and monitoring electronics.

5. What is the meaning of the “037” code?

The 037 option represents a 3.7-inch probe penetration length, defining how far the probe extends into the monitored machine housing.

6. Does this model include a standoff adapter?

No. The 00 standoff adapter option indicates that no additional standoff adapter is included.

7. What material is used for the housing?

The 24701 series uses a 303 stainless steel body with a 304 stainless steel sleeve, providing strong resistance against industrial corrosion and mechanical stress.

8. Why use a proximity probe housing assembly?

A housing assembly allows external access to the proximity probe and extension cable, simplifying gap adjustment, inspection, and probe replacement without removing major machine components.

9. What machines typically use this assembly?

It is commonly installed on turbines, compressors, generators, pumps, motors, and other rotating machinery requiring continuous shaft condition monitoring.

10. Why choose the 24701 series housing?
