Vibration Monitoring Solution – Bently Nevada 21000-28-05-00-041-03-02 | 3300 Series Proximity Probe Housing Assembly
Where This Product Is Used
The Bently Nevada 21000-28-05-00-041-03-02 Proximity Probe Housing Assembly is engineered for continuous, non-contact vibration and position measurement in rotating machinery. Typical deployment environments include:
- Steam & Gas Turbines – Shaft radial vibration monitoring on high-speed turbine trains in power generation plants
- Centrifugal Compressors – Rotor dynamic monitoring in petrochemical and LNG compression trains
- Pumps & Fans – Bearing housing proximity sensing in critical process pumps (API 670 compliant installations)
- Gearboxes – Gear mesh frequency and shaft orbit analysis in heavy industrial gearboxes
- Marine Propulsion Systems – Shaft monitoring on vessel propulsion shafting and auxiliary machinery
- Paper & Steel Mills – Roll and spindle position feedback in continuous process lines
Wherever API 670 machinery protection is mandated, this housing assembly provides the mechanical interface that keeps the probe tip precisely positioned relative to the target shaft.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can this probe be used with a 3500-series monitor directly?
A: Yes. The 21000-series probe is fully compatible with 3500-series Proximitor monitors when paired with the correct 3300 XL Proximitor signal conditioner. The monitor card reads the conditioned –24 VDC output signal.
Q: What is the maximum shaft speed this probe can monitor?
A: The 3300 XL 8 mm system has a frequency response flat to 10 kHz, making it suitable for shaft speeds up to approximately 600,000 RPM in theory; practical installations typically cover up to 60,000 RPM for turbomachinery applications.
Q: Is this probe suitable for non-ferromagnetic targets (e.g., titanium or Inconel shafts)?
A: Standard eddy-current probes require ferromagnetic or conductive targets. For non-standard target materials, a calibration correction factor must be applied. Contact Bently Nevada or our technical team for target-specific sensitivity data.
Q: What is the difference between the 21000 and 330100 probe series?
A: The 21000 series uses a metric M10 thread and is common in international (non-North American) installations. The 330100 series uses a 3/8-24 UNF thread standard in North American installations. Both are electrically compatible with the 3300 XL Proximitor.
Q: Do you provide installation and commissioning support?
A: We provide technical documentation and remote guidance. For on-site commissioning, we can recommend certified Bently Nevada service partners in your region.
