The 24701-16-05-033-04-02 is a 24701 series proximity probe housing assembly manufactured by Bently Nevada. This assembly is primarily used for mounting eddy current probes externally on rotating machinery, providing physical protection and allowing for external clearance adjustment without shutting down the machine.
O-rings
Optional conduit fittings
An optional standoff adapter
The 21000, 24701, and 164818 Proximity Probe Housing Assemblies are available with Canadian Standards Association (CSA) approvals. They are rated explosion proof for hazardous areas. You can order hazardous area approved proximity probes with 21000 aluminum and 24701 stainless steel housings for intrinsically safe applications. Both housings are certified as CSA Type 4 enclosures and are fully compliant with the American Petroleum Institute's (API) 670 Standard for externally mounted proximity probe housings.

When using the 24701-16-05-033-04-02 probe housing assembly, ensure that the internal probe specifications match the -16 thread during installation, and accurately set the gap voltage using the external adjusting nut. Additionally, the integrity of the O-ring seal must be checked to prevent oil and gas leakage, and it is recommended to use it with a flexible conduit to protect the lead-out cable from mechanical pulling or environmental damage.
What is the environmental rating of 24701-16-05-033-04-02?
When properly installed and sealed, it typically meets IP66 or NEMA 4X standards.
What is the primary function of 24701-16-05-033-04-02?
Its primary function is to provide physical protection and environmental sealing for internally mounted 8mm probes while allowing external gap adjustment.
What are the common maintenance tasks for 24701-16-05-033-04-02?
Regularly check the external sealing O-rings for aging and ensure the locknuts have not loosened due to vibration.
Does 24701-16-05-033-04-02 include the internal proximity probe?
No, it is just a housing assembly; the internal probe (e.g., 3300 XL) must be ordered separately.
How to install 24701-16-05-033-04-02?
It is installed by threading the base into the NPT hole of the machine casing, then adjusting the gap via external nuts after mounting the probe inside.
