Description

Technical Overview

The Bently Nevada 32000-16-05-00-080-03-02 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 stability, thermal consistency, and electromagnetic shielding for integrated proximity probes—critical for accurate shaft vibration, axial position, and differential expansion measurements in rotating equipment such as turbines, compressors, and motors. Its robust stainless steel construction and hermetically sealed design deliver long-term reliability in harsh environments characterized by high temperatures, oil mist, steam, and aggressive chemical exposure.

Engineered to meet stringent API 670 (4th Edition) and ISO 10816 requirements, the 32000-16-05-00-080-03-02 maintains consistent probe-to-target alignment under thermal cycling and mechanical stress, minimizing measurement drift and signal noise. The housing features a standardized 1/2–20 UNF threaded mounting interface and integrates seamlessly with Bently Nevada 3300 XL extension cables and monitor systems, supporting full system calibration traceability to NIST standards. Its optimized geometry minimizes eddy current interference and supports repeatable installation across multi-probe configurations—essential for OEMs and plant maintenance teams seeking predictable performance and reduced commissioning time.
