Description

Technical Overview

The Bently Nevada 21000-16-05-00-043-03-02 Proximity Probe Housing Assembly is a precision-engineered component designed for demanding industrial condition monitoring applications. As part of the industry-standard 3300 XL series ecosystem, this housing assembly ensures optimal mechanical alignment, thermal stability, and electromagnetic shielding for high-fidelity vibration and position measurements. It is specifically configured to accommodate standard 5 mm or 8 mm diameter proximity probes—enabling seamless integration with Bently Nevada’s 3300/3500 monitoring systems used across power generation, oil & gas, and heavy manufacturing facilities.

Constructed from high-grade stainless steel (AISI 316) with a precision-machined thread (M10 × 1.0) and integrated O-ring sealing, the housing delivers exceptional resistance to corrosion, vibration fatigue, and harsh environmental exposure—including washdown conditions, elevated ambient temperatures (up to +125°C), and aggressive chemical atmospheres. Its low-profile, compact form factor minimizes installation footprint while maintaining full compliance with API 670 (4th Edition) and ISO 10816 standards for machinery protection systems. Rigorous factory calibration and traceable metrology ensure repeatable probe gap voltage output and long-term signal integrity—critical for predictive maintenance programs and asset reliability initiatives.

Key Features

• Precision-Machined Stainless Steel Housing: AISI 316 construction for superior corrosion resistance and mechanical durability in severe industrial environments.
