Abstract: An apparatus (112) is provided for providing access to one or more axial proximity probes (111) for monitoring axial position of thrust collars of a pump shaft to enable improved adjustment of the axial proximity probes (111) by the pump operator. The apparatus (112) includes a plurality of side walls (112a) configured to surround one or more axial proximity probes (111) configured to measure axial position of one or more thrust collars in a pump bearing housing (110), at least one access window (114) formed through at least one side wall (112a) of the apparatus (112) configured to provide access to the one or more axial proximity probes (111) and at least one removable access plate (130) configured to cover the at least one access window (114).
