Industry Applications

In rotating machinery monitoring, the 137491-01 bracket holds proximity probes near bearing housings for continuous vibration data. Power generation plants use it to mount sensors on turbine casings, while oil and gas facilities rely on it for compressor monitoring. The aluminum construction resists corrosion in harsh environments, extending service life.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Mount the bracket securely to a rigid surface using the provided 10-24 UNC-2A screws. Insert the 3/8-inch smooth body probe through the clamp and tighten the screw to the manufacturer's recommended torque. Ensure the probe tip is positioned at the correct gap distance from the target surface per the system calibration. Verify alignment before final tightening to prevent measurement errors.

Maintenance & Reliability

Periodically inspect the bracket for signs of loosening or corrosion. In high-vibration applications, check the mounting screw torque every six months. The aluminum material provides excellent durability, but environmental factors like moisture or chemicals may require more frequent checks. Replacing worn screws ensures consistent probe positioning.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

Before ordering, verify the probe diameter (3/8-inch) and the required thread size for your mounting surface. The 137491-01 offers two thread options: 10-24 UNC-2A and M5 x 0.8-6g.
