Bently Nevada 31000-16-10-15-201-02-02 External Proximity Probe Housing Assembly

Brief Product Description

The Bently Nevada 31000-16-10-15-201-02-02 is a specialized external housing assembly designed to protect 3300 XL 8mm proximity probes while allowing for gap adjustments and sensor maintenance without machinery disassembly. This PPS and stainless steel enclosure ensures reliable vibration monitoring in harsh industrial environments and hazardous areas.

Product Description

The Bently Nevada 31000-16-10-15-201-02-02 serves as a critical interface for Turbo Machinery Instrumentation (TSI), specifically engineered for the 3300 Proximity Transducer System. By utilizing an externally mounted design, this assembly facilitates rapid access to the internal proximity probe and extension cable connections. Consequently, maintenance teams can perform precision calibration or component replacement while the machine remains operational or in a standby state, significantly minimizing costly downtime.

Constructed for high-performance durability, the housing body consists of glass-reinforced polyphenylene sulfide (PPS). This material selection provides superior chemical resistance and structural rigidity. Furthermore, the integration of stainless steel sleeves and fasteners prevents environmental degradation and corrosion. Because it adheres strictly to API 670 standards, this housing assembly ensures a standardized and secure installation for critical machinery vibration and position monitoring.

The 31000-16-10-15-201-02-02 model integrates several key components into a single, ready-to-install package. It includes a high-precision 3300 XL 8mm probe paired with a 1.0-meter cable. To accommodate specific mounting clearances, the unit features a 1.5-inch standoff adapter and dual 3/4-14 NPT conduit connections. When integrated with appropriate intrinsically safe barriers, the assembly maintains certification for deployment in explosive or hazardous atmospheres.
