Description

Technical Overview

The Bently Nevada 21000-16-10-00-098-04-02 Proximity Probe Housing Assembly is a precision-engineered component designed for demanding industrial condition monitoring applications. As part of Bently Nevada’s industry-leading 3300 XL series ecosystem, this housing assembly ensures optimal mechanical alignment, electromagnetic shielding, and environmental protection for high-frequency eddy-current proximity probes used in rotating machinery protection systems. Its robust stainless steel construction and hermetically sealed design provide exceptional resistance to vibration, temperature fluctuations, moisture, and corrosive process environments—critical for continuous operation in power generation, oil & gas, petrochemical, and heavy manufacturing facilities.

Engineered to meet API 670 (4th Edition) standards for machinery protection systems, the 21000-16-10-00-098-04-02 integrates seamlessly with Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8mm and 11mm proximity probe sensors and extension cables. The housing features precise thread tolerances (M16×1.0 metric) and calibrated mounting depth to maintain probe tip-to-target gap consistency—ensuring signal fidelity, repeatability, and long-term measurement stability. Its low-noise mechanical design minimizes microphonic interference and thermal drift, supporting reliable shaft vibration, axial position, and differential expansion measurements essential for predictive maintenance and asset integrity programs.
