- Functional Features: 1.5‑inch standoff adapter circumvents mechanical obstructions near bearing housing mounting surface. Medium‑length 3.4‑inch stainless‑steel probe sleeve adapts for medium‑thickness bearing housing wall of medium‑size turbomachinery. All‑metal explosion‑proof housing shields internal proximity probe assembly from mechanical impact, dust, oil mist and corrosive vapour. Comprehensive multi‑O‑ring sealing system prevents moisture and process medium ingress. Adjustable probe penetration depth supports precise static gap calibration for eddy‑current transducer system. Side threaded conduit ports offer protected mechanical routing for probe extension cables. Full installation‑related sealing and conduit accessories are delivered as one complete set. The assembly maintains stable probe‑shaft relative spatial position under sustained machinery vibration. External‑access design enables gap tuning and probe replacement without machine casing disassembly.
- Application Scenarios: Medium‑size steam turbine and medium‑frame centrifugal compressor monitoring projects with medium‑thickness bearing housings and surrounding mechanical obstructions on mounting face. Shaft radial vibration and thrust bearing axial displacement measurement in refineries, chemical plants and power‑plant hazardous‑area locations. Machinery protection systems complying with API‑670 industry standard.
- Performance Parameters: Rigid mechanical structure keeps fixed probe‑to‑target offset without shifting under long‑term cyclic machinery vibration. Multi‑layer elastomer sealing assembly retains full sealing performance under hot oily industrial atmosphere. Explosion‑proof enclosure satisfies CSA certification requirement for gas hazardous‑area deployment. Standoff adapter structural strength resists mechanical stress of probe sleeve. Housing assembly brings no negative influence to electromagnetic performance of matched eddy‑current proximity probe.
- Material Composition: Main housing body is high‑strength cast aluminum alloy with anti‑corrosion surface finishing. Medium‑length probe sleeve is precision‑machined from 304 stainless steel for mechanical rigidity. 1.5‑inch standoff adapter is aluminum alloy machined component. Sealing elements are oil‑resistant industrial elastomer O‑rings. Dome cover is metal threaded component. NPT conduit fittings are anti‑rust treated carbon steel.
- Structural Characteristics: Pre‑assembled unit includes threaded dome cover, aluminum main housing body, 3.4‑inch stainless‑steel probe sleeve, 1.5‑inch standoff adapter, complete O‑ring sealing set and full conduit accessory kit. Dome cover connects to main housing body via heavy‑duty threaded joint. Side threaded ports are reserved for field metal conduit installation. Internal cavity accommodates reverse‑mount proximity probe assembly. All sealing grooves are precisely machined for correct O‑ring positioning. Standoff adapter is installed between housing main‑body and machine mounting thread interface.
- Working Principle: The assembly acts as mechanical fixture and environmental protective housing for reverse‑mount eddy‑current proximity probe. Proximity probe is locked securely inside stainless‑steel probe sleeve. Whole housing assembly mounts externally onto bearing housing surface; standoff adapter provides clearance from surrounding mechanical obstacles. Mechanical structure holds probe tip at stable spatial distance relative to rotating shaft target. Multi‑O‑ring seals isolate internal probe assembly from external harsh industrial environment. Installed proximity probe performs non‑contact displacement and dynamic vibration measurement based on eddy‑current inductive principle.
- Installation Requirements: Apply high‑temperature compatible thread sealant to all mounting threads during field installation. Verify all O‑ring components sit fully inside corresponding machining grooves before tightening dome cover. Adjust probe penetration depth to make static working gap fall within linear measurement range of matched 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe. Connect field‑site metal conduit to housing side threaded port for cable mechanical protection. Fully fasten dome‑cover thread to guarantee explosion‑proof enclosure integrity. Check mechanical clearance to ensure probe sleeve will not collide with internal machine components. Strictly follow API‑670 installation guidelines for turbomachinery sensor mounting.
- Usage Notes: Handle carefully during transportation and installation, avoid mechanical impact to probe sleeve. Never operate rotating equipment with damaged, aging or missing O‑ring sealing components. Periodically inspect dome‑cover and standoff adapter thread tightening condition under continuous high‑vibration working environment. Any field machining, cutting or mechanical modification of housing assembly is strictly prohibited. All maintenance work inside hazardous classified zones must comply fully with site safety management protocols. Do not apply excessive torque on dome cover to prevent thread galling.
