Product Overview
The Bently Nevada CA24701-28-10-35-027-03-02 is a stainless-steel proximity probe housing assembly configured for external mounting of a 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe. It combines a reverse-mount probe, a 1-meter probe cable, a 3.5-inch standoff adapter, a 2.7-inch probe penetration, and a defined conduit fitting arrangement. The 24701 housing uses a 303 stainless-steel body with a 304 stainless-steel probe sleeve.
This assembly is particularly relevant to rotating machinery where the proximity probe must reach a shaft measurement point through a machine casing or bearing housing. On a compressor or turbine, the probe measures the distance between its sensing tip and a conductive shaft target. The external housing arrangement allows access to the probe and its mounting components without requiring the same installation approach as a probe mounted directly into the machine casing.
The selected dimensions define how the probe reaches the measurement surface. The 3.5-inch standoff adapter positions the housing relative to the machine, while the 2.7-inch penetration determines the probe’s reach inside the mounting arrangement. Together, these dimensions establish a nominal C-plus-D dimension of 6.2 inches, subject to the specified adjustment range and final installation geometry.
The complete part number also specifies the electrical and mechanical connection details. The 28 option identifies a 3300 XL 8 mm probe with selectable hazardous-area approvals, 10 specifies a 1-meter probe cable, 35 identifies the 3.5-inch standoff adapter, and 027 specifies the 2.7-inch probe penetration. The 03 fitting option includes a plug, reducer, and cable seal grip, while 02 specifies a 3/4-14 NPT mounting thread.
One configuration detail is particularly important: the E:03 fitting option is not among the CA24701 fitting configurations covered by the stated CSA explosion-proof rating. The exact configuration must therefore be resolved before it is treated as a CSA explosion-proof assembly for hazardous-area installation.

Working Principle
The CA24701 assembly positions the proximity probe at a controlled distance from a conductive machine shaft. The housing, standoff adapter, and probe sleeve establish the mechanical mounting arrangement; the 3300 XL 8 mm probe performs the actual displacement measurement.
The probe operates through eddy-current sensing. When connected to its compatible Proximitor sensor, the probe generates an electromagnetic field at its tip. As the distance between the probe tip and the conductive shaft changes, the electrical response of the transducer system changes. The Proximitor converts this response into an output that the monitoring equipment can use to measure shaft position or relative vibration.
The measurement chain is:
Conductive Shaft → 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe → Integral Probe Cable → Compatible Extension Cable → Proximitor Sensor → Monitoring System
The standoff adapter and probe penetration serve different mechanical purposes. The adapter establishes the external offset from the machine mounting point, while the penetration defines how far the probe extends toward the shaft. Both dimensions must match the machine geometry to achieve the required sensing position.
The 1-meter probe cable is only one part of the complete electrical system. The extension cable and Proximitor must also match the required transducer configuration. Incorrect cable selection can affect the system’s electrical response even when the housing and probe fit mechanically.
Role in a Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximity Monitoring Architecture
The CA24701-28-10-35-027-03-02 provides the mechanical mounting arrangement for a 3300 XL 8 mm proximity measurement channel. It supports the probe at the machine, while the associated electrical components transmit the measurement to the monitoring system.
| System Element | Function |
|---|---|
| CA24701 Housing Assembly | Houses and supports the externally mounted probe |
| 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe | Measures the distance to a conductive shaft target |
| 1-Meter Probe Cable | Carries the probe signal to the extension-cable connection |
| Compatible Extension Cable | Connects the probe assembly to the Proximitor sensor |
| 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor | Excites the probe and conditions its electrical response |
| 3300 XL Monitoring Channel | Processes the conditioned signal for shaft-position or vibration monitoring |
| Machine Mounting Point | Establishes the housing position and probe alignment relative to the shaft |
The complete channel depends on the correct combination of probe, cable, Proximitor, and monitor. Mechanical compatibility alone is insufficient if the electrical configuration or hazardous-area requirements differ from those of the existing installation.

Installation and Maintenance
- Verify the complete part number: Confirm CA24701-28-10-35-027-03-02 against the installed assembly and maintenance documentation.
- Check the hazardous-area configuration: Resolve the E:03 fitting option before treating the assembly as CSA explosion-proof. Use a fitting configuration that meets the installation’s applicable certification requirements.
- Confirm the mounting thread: Check that the machine mounting port matches the specified 3/4-14 NPT interface.
- Verify the standoff dimension: Confirm that the 3.5-inch adapter places the housing at the required position relative to the machine casing.
- Check probe penetration: Ensure that the 2.7-inch penetration reaches the intended sensing position without interfering with internal machine components.
- Inspect the housing and sleeve: Check the 303 stainless-steel body, 304 stainless-steel sleeve, threaded connections, and sealing surfaces for damage or corrosion.
- Verify the fitting arrangement: Confirm the plug, reducer, and cable seal grip specified by the E:03 option, including the applicable grommet size for the connected cable.
- Protect the probe cable: Avoid twisting, crushing, or sharply bending the 1-meter integral cable during installation.
- Match the extension cable and Proximitor: Confirm that the complete transducer system uses the correct electrical configuration and total cable length.
- Set the probe gap correctly: Establish the required operating gap according to the applicable 3300 XL installation procedure.
- Verify the measurement signal: Check the Proximitor output and monitoring-channel response before returning the machine to normal operation.
- Record the final configuration: Document the assembly reference, cable arrangement, mounting dimensions, fitting configuration, hazardous-area approval, and monitoring channel.

Technical FAQs
What does the 35 code mean in CA24701-28-10-35-027-03-02?
The 35 option specifies a 3.5-inch standoff adapter. It establishes the offset between the machine mounting point and the housing, working together with the 2.7-inch probe penetration to determine the nominal C-plus-D dimension.
What does the 027 code specify?
The 027 option represents a nominal probe penetration of 2.7 inches. This dimension defines the probe’s reach through the housing sleeve toward the conductive shaft target.
Is this exact E:03 configuration CSA explosion-proof?
The E:03 fitting option is not among the fitting configurations listed for CSA explosion-proof-rated CA24701 housings. The supplied model reference should therefore not be treated as an approved CSA explosion-proof assembly without resolving the configuration.
Does the 1-meter probe cable mean the complete measurement system uses only 1 meter of cable?
No. The 1-meter specification refers to the probe cable included in this assembly. The extension cable between the probe and Proximitor is a separate part of the complete transducer system. Their combined electrical configuration must match the associated Proximitor and monitoring channel.
