Description

Technical Overview

The Bently Nevada 31000-16-05-00-023-02-02 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 shielding for integrated proximity probes—critical for accurate vibration, position, and speed measurements in rotating equipment such as turbines, compressors, motors, and gearboxes.

Manufactured to stringent OEM specifications, the housing features a robust stainless steel construction with hermetically sealed internal cavities to prevent moisture ingress, oil contamination, and particulate accumulation—common failure modes in harsh process environments. Its optimized geometry maintains consistent probe tip-to-target gap integrity across wide temperature ranges (–40°C to +125°C), minimizing measurement drift and enhancing long-term signal fidelity. The assembly integrates seamlessly with Bently Nevada 3300/16 and 3500 monitoring systems, supporting compliance with API 670 (4th Edition) and ISO 10816 standards for machinery health assessment.

Key Features

• Precision-Machined Stainless Steel Housing: Provides exceptional corrosion resistance, mechanical rigidity, and EMI/RFI shielding for reliable operation in aggressive chemical, high-humidity, and high-vibration settings.
• Integrated Strain Relief & Cable Retention: Secures the probe cable at the housing entry point to prevent fatigue-induced breaks and maintain calibration integrity during extended service life.
• Standardized Mounting Interface: Compatible with common 1/4″-28 UNF threaded mounting configurations and aligns precisely with 3300 XL probe preamplifiers and extension cables for plug-and-play system integration.
• Temperature-Stable Design: Engineered with matched thermal expansion coefficients between housing, insulator, and probe components to minimize zero-shift over operational temperature cycles.
