Description

Technical Overview

The Bently Nevada 31000-16-05-00-037-03-02 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 eddy-current proximity measurements. It is specifically engineered to accommodate standard 5 mm or 8 mm diameter probes while maintaining strict compliance with API 670 (4th Edition) requirements for machinery protection systems.

Constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel with a precisely machined internal geometry, the housing provides consistent probe tip-to-target standoff, minimizing measurement drift under extreme operating conditions—including high vibration, wide temperature fluctuations (–40°C to +125°C), and exposure to oil, steam, and process chemicals. Its hermetically sealed design prevents ingress of contaminants that could compromise probe calibration or signal integrity, ensuring long-term repeatability and reliability in critical rotating equipment monitoring—such as compressors, turbines, and centrifugal pumps.
