Bently Nevada's 31000/32000 Proximity Probe Housing Assemblies are recommended when mounting proximity probes through the machine case and are typically used for radially mounted transducers, whether vibration or Keyphasor® measurements.
Use of a proximity probe housing allows external access to the proximity probe and its extension cable, permitting gap adjustment or probe replacement without disassembly of the machine. The 31000/32000 Proximity Probe Housing Assembly is made of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), an advanced, high-strength, thermoplastic with excellent corrosion resistance. Other elements of the housing assembly are made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel. The housing can be ordered with installed 3300 XL Proximity Probes and a variety of conduit fittings. The 31000/32000 Proximity Probe Housing Assembly is fully compliant with the American Petroleum Institute's (API) 670 Standard for externally mounted proximity probe housings.
Ordering Information Note: Conduit fittings are necessary when hardline conduit or metal tubing is brought into the housing. Flexible conduit should be ordered with integral 3/4-14 NPT fittings and do not require additional conduit fittings with the housing. If using flexible conduit, order the "E" = 00 option. 31000-AXX-BXX-CXX-DXXX-EXX-FXX Note: To order housing only, use -00 for all Options.

Minimum length: 1.5 in (38 mm). Maximum length: 7.5 in (191 mm). Example: 0 0 = No standoff adapter. 1 5 = 1.5 in (38 mm). D: Probe Penetration Option ("D" Dimension) Note: "C" plus "D" dimensions greater than 12 in (305 mm) require additional sleeve support near the probe to prevent resonance from occurring. Sleeve adjustment range of Probe Penetration Option "D" is ±0.5 in (13 mm). For penetration lengths between 1.0 and 2.0 inches, counter bore may be required in machine case to reduce probe side view and/or rear view effects. Order in increments of 0.1 in (3 mm). Minimum length: 1.0 in (25 mm). Maximum length: 30 in (762 mm), see Table 1 for cable length limits. Example: 0 0 0 = No probe sleeve. 0 3 7 = 3.7 in ( 94 mm). 2 2 4 = 22.4 in (569 mm).
