Product Description

The Bently Nevada 21000-16-05-00-030-04-02 is a robust Proximity Probe Housing Assembly engineered for the uncompromising demands of industrial machinery condition monitoring. This essential component serves a critical protective function, safeguarding the delicate tip of a proximity probe from the harsh operational environment while ensuring its precise and stable positioning. Designed for seamless integration with Bently Nevada’s comprehensive machinery protection platforms, such as the industry-leading 3500 System, this housing is fundamental to achieving accurate and repeatable vibration, thrust position, and differential expansion measurements on critical rotating equipment. The 21000-16-05-00-030-04-02 assembly prevents physical damage to the probe from contaminants, moisture, and accidental impact, thereby extending sensor lifespan and enhancing the overall reliability of your entire asset monitoring strategy. Its meticulous construction guarantees that the probe is held securely at the correct gap, which is paramount for signal integrity and the prevention of false alarms or missed trips that can lead to catastrophic equipment failure.

This specific model, the 21000-16-05-00-030-04-02, is defined by a precise set of configuration options tailored for specific installation requirements. The housing is constructed from high-grade 303 Stainless Steel (Option -05), providing excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical strength suitable for challenging industrial atmospheres found in refineries, power plants, and chemical processing facilities. It features a total housing length of 3.0 inches (Option -030) and an unthreaded length of 1.6 inches (Option -16), dimensions that are critical for accommodating various machine casing thicknesses and achieving proper probe installation depth. This assembly is specifically designed to be compatible with Bently Nevada’s 3300 XL 8 mm and 3300 5 mm proximity probes (Option -04), ensuring a perfect fit and optimal measurement performance. Furthermore, the inclusion of a standoff adapter (Option -02) allows for external mounting, providing a stable and secure installation point on the machine casing. By selecting the genuine Bently Nevada 21000-16-05-00-030-04-02, operators ensure that their condition monitoring system performs to its original design specifications, maintaining system integrity and delivering the reliable data needed for predictive maintenance and asset protection.
