Product Overview

The 24701-28-05-00-070-04-02 from Bently Nevada is a proximity probe housing assembly. Therefore, it houses a 3300 XL 8mm probe for vibration and position monitoring. In addition, this 24701 model includes a 0.5 meter probe cable length. As a result, it suits turbine, compressor, and pump applications perfectly. Moreover, the housing features a 303 stainless steel body with 304 stainless steel sleeve. Finally, this assembly comes with a 12-month factory warranty.

Model and Suffix Code Breakdown

The 24701-28-05-00-070-04-02 follows a detailed suffix code structure. Specifically, model 24701 identifies this as a proximity probe housing assembly. Furthermore, suffix 28 indicates a 3300 XL 8mm probe with approval option. Also, suffix 05 represents a probe cable length of 20 inches (0.5 m). Notably, suffix 00 means no standoff adapter is included. Finally, suffix 070 shows probe penetration of 0.7 inches.

Mounting and Fittings Options

The 24701-28-05-00-070-04-02 includes specific mounting thread options. Specifically, suffix 04 provides one 3/4-14 NPT plug only. Furthermore, suffix 02 indicates 3/4-14 NPT mounting thread. Also, the standoff adapter length option must be ordered if not using -00. Therefore, this configuration suits standard NPT conduit connections. Notably, the 24701 includes threaded ports for conduit connections.

Material and Construction

The 24701 housing uses high-quality stainless steel materials. Specifically, the body is made of 303 stainless steel for durability. Furthermore, the sleeve uses 304 stainless steel for corrosion resistance. Also, the assembly includes O-rings for environmental sealing. Notably, the 24701-28-05-00-070-04-02 includes a thread seal for leak-proof installation. Therefore, this housing withstands harsh industrial environments.

Probe and Cable Specifications

The 24701 assembly includes a reverse mount proximity probe. Specifically, the probe cable length measures 0.5 meters (20 inches). Furthermore, the maximum (C) + (D) dimension with visible probe is not applicable. Also, the maximum (C) + (D) dimension is 13.5 inches (34.3 mm). Notably, the probe part number and serial number are not visible on this assembly. Therefore, the 24701-28-05-00-070-04-02 provides a complete ready-to-install solution.

Assembly Components

The 24701 proximity probe housing assembly includes several key parts. Specifically, a dome cover screws into the body of the housing. Furthermore, threaded ports accept conduit connections for wiring. Also, a probe sleeve of optional length protects the probe. Notably, the 24701-28-05-00-070-04-02 includes a reverse mount proximity probe. Finally, O-rings and a thread seal complete the assembly package.

Optional Components Available

The 24701 housing can accept several optional components. Specifically, optional conduit fittings are available for special installations. Furthermore, an optional standoff adapter can be ordered separately. Also, different probe cable lengths and penetrations are available. Therefore, the 24701-28-05-00-070-04-02 represents one of many configuration possibilities.

Physical Weight and Dimensions

The 24701 housing assembly has moderate weight for field installation. Specifically, typical weight is 1.8 kg (4.1 lbs) without fittings. Furthermore, maximum (C) + (D) dimension reaches 13.5 inches (34.3 mm). Also, the probe penetration is 0.7 inches for this specific configuration. Therefore, the 24701-28-05-00-070-04-02 fits standard mounting locations easily.

Installation Guidelines

First, mount the 24701 housing on the machine casing using 3/4-14 NPT threads. Second, install the dome cover securely into the housing body. Third, connect conduit to the threaded ports for cable protection. Fourth, route the 0.5m probe cable to the monitoring system. Fifth, apply thread seal to prevent leakage in wet environments. Note, verify the probe penetration of 0.7 inches before final tightening.
