Industry Applications and Engineering Benefits
Turbine and Compressor Monitoring
Rotating equipment like steam turbines and centrifugal compressors require precise shaft vibration measurement. The 21000-16-10-00-046-03-02 provides a stable mounting platform for the 3300 XL 8 mm probe, ensuring consistent gap voltage and early fault detection. Its 4.6 in probe penetration allows proper positioning within the casing.
Hazardous Area Compliance
With CSA explosion-proof certification and CSA Type 4 enclosure rating, this assembly is suitable for oil refineries, chemical plants, and gas processing facilities. The aluminum body and stainless steel sleeve resist corrosion while meeting API 670 standards for externally mounted housings.
Pump and Motor Protection
Critical pumps and large motors benefit from reliable vibration monitoring. The included fittings (3/4-14 NPT plug, reducer, and cable seal grip) simplify conduit connections, reducing installation time and potential leak paths.

Installation and Setup Guidance
Mount the housing using the 3/4-14 NPT thread option (-02) when no standoff adapter is used. Ensure the probe cable length of 1.0 m is sufficient for routing to the junction box. The maximum (C) + (D) dimension of 32.9 in (83.5 cm) helps plan clearance. Use the provided grommets for cable sizes from 1/8 to 3/8 inches to maintain environmental sealing.
Maintenance and Reliability
Periodically inspect the dome cover O-rings and conduit fittings for signs of wear or corrosion. Verify that the cable seal grip remains tight to prevent moisture ingress. The 304 stainless steel sleeve resists damage during probe insertion and removal, extending service life.
Robust Protection for Critical Vibration Monitoring
In rotating machinery, accurate proximity probe measurements depend on stable, secure mounting. The Bently Nevada 21000-16-10-00-046-03-02 provides a rugged enclosure that protects the probe while maintaining precise positioning. This assembly is engineered for demanding industrial environments where reliability is non-negotiable.

Compatibility and Integration
This housing is designed for use with Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probes. The assembly includes a reverse mount probe, thread seal, and optional conduit fittings.
