Precise mechanical alignment within the housing is required to ensure that the eddy-current probe maintains a consistent gap to the target shaft. Excessive housing vibration or improper tightening can induce noise in the transducer output, potentially leading to false rotor dynamics readings. Maintenance personnel must ensure that the probe tip is secured at the designated gap voltage, typically targeting -10 VDC during cold startup to account for thermal expansion of the machine casing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOrdering Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-paddingleft-2\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 x 31000-16-05-00-068-03-02 Proximity Probe Housing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 x Set of locking nuts for axial positioning\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 x O-ring seal kit for environmental protection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 x Installation technical datasheet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eField Installation Guidelines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-paddingleft-2\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSurface Preparation: Clean the mounting hole threads to remove debris or sealant residue before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTorque Application: Apply moderate torque to the locking nuts to prevent housing rotation during thermal cycling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrounding: Ensure the housing makes secure metal-to-metal contact with the machine case if an external ground path is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSealing: Use appropriate thread sealant on the NPT sections to prevent oil leakage if the housing enters a pressurized lubrication area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCable Routing: Keep proximity probe cables within protective conduit to minimize mechanical damage and electromagnetic interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-paddingleft-2\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIs this housing compatible with all 8 mm probes?
