When a probe is installed, the housing sleeve permits external gap adjustments to achieve the target gap voltage validation of -10 VDC. Correct sleeve alignment prevents spatial drift, ensuring that rotor dynamics, axial thrust, and dynamic shaft vibration measurements remain highly linear and calibrated to standard AISI 4140 steel. Grounding paths integrated into the metallic sleeve suppress electromagnetic cross-talk between adjacent sensor channels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eScope of Delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Bently Nevada 31000-00-00-00-120-00-02 Housing Assembly (empty sleeve)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Stainless steel internal sensor mounting bushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x Hexagonal case locknuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMechanical Installation and Alignment Protocols\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase Thread Tightening\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVerify that the machine case has a matching 3\/4-14 NPT threaded port.
