Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the 21000-16-05-15-084-03-02 are listed below for quick reference:

Industry Applications and Cost Impact

The 3300 XL 8 mm probe provides precise shaft displacement measurements, enabling early detection of bearing wear or imbalance. By preventing unexpected shutdowns, the unit directly reduces lost production costs and emergency repair expenses. The CSA explosion-proof rating allows safe installation in Zone 1 hazardous areas, avoiding the need for expensive purging systems.

Installation Guidance for Optimal Performance

Mount the housing using the 3/4-14 NPT thread (option -02) to ensure a secure, leak-proof connection. The 1.5 in standoff adapter and 8.4 in probe penetration accommodate typical machine case thicknesses. Use the included cable seal grip with the appropriate grommet size for your cable (1/8 to 3/8 in) to maintain the explosion-proof seal. Verify that the probe tip is visible for proper gap setting per manufacturer instructions.

Maintenance and Reliability

Periodically inspect the housing for signs of corrosion or mechanical damage, especially in harsh environments. Check that all conduit fittings and seals remain tight to preserve the CSA Type 4 rating. The aluminum body with 304 stainless steel sleeve offers resistance to corrosion, reducing lifecycle replacement costs. No internal disassembly is required for routine inspection.

Cost-Effective Protection for Critical Machinery Monitoring

Industrial rotating machinery demands reliable vibration monitoring to prevent costly unplanned downtime. The Bently Nevada 21000-16-05-15-084-03-02 proximity probe housing assembly provides a robust, explosion-proof enclosure for proximity probes in hazardous areas, directly supporting API 670 standards. By ensuring accurate, continuous data from your machinery, this housing assembly helps avoid catastrophic failures and extends equipment life—delivering a strong return on investment through reduced maintenance costs and improved operational uptime.

Compatibility and Integration

The 21000-16-05-15-084-03-02 is designed for use with Bently Nevada 3300 XL proximity probes and compatible monitoring systems. The assembly supports standard 3/4-14 NPT conduit connections, simplifying integration into existing plant wiring. Always verify that the probe cable length (0.5 m) matches your system requirements; extension cables may be needed for longer distances.

Selection Guide and Purchasing Advice

When selecting a housing assembly, confirm that the probe option, cable length, standoff adapter, and penetration depth match your machine geometry and monitoring needs.
