System Architecture & Signal Flow
In a complete Bently Nevada 3300 Series installation, the 21022-00-00-017-00 housing positions two eddy-current proximity probes at the bearing journal location. Each probe generates a voltage signal proportional to the gap between probe tip and rotating shaft surface. These signals are routed via armored extension cables to 3300 Series proximitor/oscillator modules, which condition the raw signals into industry-standard –24 VDC output. The monitor rack then processes these conditioned signals for vibration amplitude, phase, and orbit display, with configurable alarm and trip setpoints protecting the machine from damaging vibration levels.
Signal path: Probe tip → Extension cable → Proximitor module → 3300 Monitor rack → DCS/PLC integration

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the 21022-00-00-017-00 compatible with 3500 Series monitors?
A: This housing is designed and dimensioned for the 3300 Series platform. While probe thread dimensions may be similar, system compatibility with 3500 Series should be confirmed against Bently Nevada’s cross-reference documentation before procurement.
Q: Can this housing be used in ATEX Zone 1 classified areas?
A: The housing itself is a passive mechanical component. ATEX compliance of the complete measurement loop depends on the probe model, extension cable, and proximitor module selected. Consult Bently Nevada’s hazardous area product selection guide for your specific zone classification.
Q: What is the recommended probe gap for axial vibration measurement?
A: Standard Bently Nevada 3300 Series proximity probes are typically gapped to the midpoint of the linear range, commonly 1.0–1.5 mm (40–60 mil) depending on probe tip diameter and target material. Refer to the specific probe installation manual for exact gap specifications.
Q: Do you offer expedited shipping for shutdown/turnaround situations?
A: Yes. Contact support@konmask.com with your urgency requirements. We maintain stock for rapid dispatch and can coordinate next-flight-out courier arrangements for critical outage situations.
