Description

Technical Overview

The Bently Nevada 31000-16-10-00-085-03-02 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 stability, electromagnetic shielding, and thermal compatibility for integrated proximity probes used in rotating machinery protection systems. It is rigorously tested to maintain signal integrity under high-vibration, high-temperature, and corrosive environments typical in power generation, oil & gas, petrochemical, and heavy manufacturing facilities.

Engineered for seamless integration with Bently Nevada’s 3300 XL 8 mm and 11 mm proximity probe sensors, the 31000-16-10-00-085-03-02 housing provides precise alignment, consistent gap control, and robust thread engagement (M16 × 1.0) for reliable mounting on bearing housings, pedestals, or custom brackets. Its stainless steel construction delivers exceptional resistance to mechanical wear, oxidation, and chemical exposure—critical for long-term measurement repeatability and system uptime. The housing’s internal geometry is optimized to minimize eddy current distortion and ensure compliance with API 670 (4th Edition) and ISO 10816 standards for vibration and position monitoring.

Key Features

• Precision-Machined Stainless Steel Housing: Ensures durability, corrosion resistance, and dimensional stability across extreme operating conditions.
• EMI/RFI Shielding Compliance: Integral grounding path and conductive gasket interface maintain signal fidelity in electrically noisy plant environments.
