Description

Technical Overview

The Bently Nevada 21000-16-05-00-135-03-02 Proximity Probe Housing Assembly is a precision-engineered component designed for demanding industrial condition monitoring and machinery protection applications. As part of the industry-standard 3300 XL series ecosystem, this housing assembly ensures optimal mechanical alignment, thermal stability, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding for compatible proximity probes—critical for accurate shaft vibration, axial position, and differential expansion measurements in rotating equipment.

Manufactured to stringent API 670 and ISO 10816 compliance standards, the assembly integrates seamlessly with Bently Nevada’s 3300 XL 8 mm and 11 mm probe systems. Its robust stainless steel construction provides superior resistance to corrosion, high-pressure washdowns, and harsh process environments—including petrochemical, power generation, and heavy manufacturing facilities. The housing features a precisely machined mounting thread (M16 × 1.5), integrated strain relief, and hermetically sealed cable entry to maintain signal integrity across wide temperature ranges (–30°C to +120°C).

Key Features

• Precision-Machined Housing: Ensures consistent probe tip-to-target gap repeatability and minimizes measurement drift over time
• EMI/RFI Shielding: Integrated conductive gasketing and grounded metal body suppress electrical noise in electrically noisy plant environments
• IP68-Rated Sealing: Fully protected against dust ingress and continuous submersion up to 1.5 meters—ideal for washdown and outdoor installations
• Thermally Stable Design: Low-coefficient-of-expansion materials reduce thermal-induced calibration shift during ambient or process temperature fluctuations
• Plug-and-Play Compatibility: Directly interfaces with 3300 XL monitoring systems and legacy 3300 NSV infrastructure without adapter kits
