- Proximity Probe Housing Assemblies
- 31000 and 32000 Proximity Probe Housing Assemblies
- The 31000/32000 Proximity Probe Housing Assembly is made of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS)
When proximity probes need to be mounted inside a machine housing, the 31000/32000 type proximity probe housing assembly is recommended. This assembly is typically used for radially mounted sensors, whether for vibration or key phase measurements. Using a proximity probe housing allows for easy external access to the proximity probe and its extension cables, enabling gap adjustment or probe replacement without disassembling the machine.
The 31000/32000 type proximity probe housing assembly is made of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), an advanced high-strength thermoplastic material with excellent corrosion resistance. Other components of the housing assembly are made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel. Versions of this housing assembly pre-installed with the 3300 XL type proximity probe and various conduit fittings are available by order.
The 32000-28-10-00-430-02-02 Bently Nevada Proximity Probe Housing Assemblies may still be available for purchase and support from Moore Automated Company beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

The 31000/32000 type proximity probe housing assembly fully complies with the American Petroleum Institute (API) 670 standard requirements for externally mounted proximity probe housings. When installed with an approved sensor system and appropriate I.S. barriers, the 31000/32000 proximity probe housing assembly can be used for intrinsically safe hazardous area applications.
This configuration is typically used in large industrial machinery where the target being measured (rotating shaft) is located deep within the machine housing or insulation. Common applications include:
Large steam or gas turbines: Monitoring radial vibration or axial position in machines with thick housings or insulation.
Multistage compressors: Protecting probes located within large-diameter compressor housings where standard-length probes cannot reach the shaft.
Harsh environments: IP66 and NEMA 4X protection rating housings protect sensitive probes and their cables from moisture, oil, and contaminants, while allowing for external adjustment.
