Hardware Specifications

Vibration Sensor Protection and Mechanical Housing Integration

Designed to protect sensitive machinery monitoring hardware from aggressive plant conditions, the feraloy housing base and aluminum covers provide robust physical isolation. The enclosure features a 1/2-inch 14 NPT conduit outlet port engineered to mate with flexible conduit systems, preventing moisture, dust, and mechanical impacts from compromising accelerometer wiring and internal connections.

Scope of Delivery

• 1 x Bently Nevada 43217-02 Housing Base
• 1 x Extension Component
• 1 x Flat Cover
• 1 x Dome Cover
• 1 x Neoprene Gasket and O-Ring Set

Installation and Mechanical Mounting Guidelines

• Surface Preparation: Mount the feraloy housing base securely onto a rigid machinery mounting bracket or structural surface capable of withstanding industrial vibration levels.
• Conduit Connection: Thread the flexible conduit into the 1/2-inch 14 NPT outlet port using appropriate thread sealant to maintain environmental integrity.
• Sensor Enclosure: Position the compatible 330400 or 330425 accelerometer inside the housing enclosure before securing internal wiring terminations.
• Cover Sealing: Fasten the flat and dome covers evenly over the neoprene gaskets to ensure dust-tight and moisture-tight sealing performance.
