Bently Nevada 21000-16-05-00-096-00-02 Proximity Probe Housing Assembly

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the 21000-16-05-00-096-00-02 are listed below for quick reference:

Industry Applications: Engineered for Uptime

This housing assembly is purpose-built for continuous vibration monitoring on compressors, turbines, and pumps. The 9.6 in probe penetration allows deep insertion into bearing housings, while the 3/4-14 NPT mounting thread ensures a secure, leak-proof seal. The CSA Type 4 rating means it withstands water ingress and corrosive atmospheres, reducing unplanned downtime. By using the 21000-16-05-00-096-00-02, facilities avoid the cost of repeated sensor failures and gain reliable data for predictive maintenance.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Mount the assembly using the 3/4-14 NPT thread into a compatible port. Ensure the probe tip is properly gapped per the 3300 XL probe specifications. Always torque fittings to manufacturer recommendations to maintain the explosion-proof seal.

Maintenance & Reliability

Inspect the housing and O-rings annually for signs of corrosion or wear. The aluminum body with 304 stainless steel sleeve resists rust, but in highly acidic environments, consider more frequent checks. The CSA explosion-proof rating is maintained only if all fittings and covers are properly installed. Replace any damaged O-rings immediately to prevent moisture ingress.

Robust Protection for Critical Vibration Monitoring

Industrial rotating machinery demands precise, uninterrupted vibration monitoring. The Bently Nevada 21000-16-05-00-096-00-02 proximity probe housing assembly provides a rugged, explosion-proof enclosure for the 3300 XL 8 mm probe, ensuring reliable data collection in the harshest environments. This assembly is engineered to meet API 670 standards, making it a trusted choice for refineries, power plants, and chemical facilities.

Compatibility & Integration

This assembly is designed for the 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe system. It integrates directly with Bently Nevada 3500 and 3300 series monitoring racks. The reverse mount probe configuration simplifies installation in tight spaces. The optional standoff adapter (not included) can be ordered separately for extended standoff requirements.
