Bently Nevada 21000-16-10-00-256-01-02 Proximity Probe Housing Assembly

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the 21000-16-10-00-256-01-02 are listed below for quick reference:

Industry Applications

The CSA Type 4 enclosure rating and Class I, Division 1 & 2 approvals (Groups C, D, E, F, G) make it a trusted choice for critical rotating machinery such as compressors, turbines, and pumps.

Installation & Setup Guidance

For probe penetration lengths between 1.0 and 2.0 inches, counter boring the machine case may be necessary to reduce side view or rear view effects. If the combined probe cable length (C + D) exceeds 300 mm (12 in), sleeve support near the probe is required to prevent resonance. The adjustment range for probe penetration option D is 13 mm (±0.5 in).

Maintenance & Reliability

The aluminum body with 304 stainless steel sleeve provides corrosion resistance in harsh industrial settings. O-rings and thread seals ensure a tight, explosion-proof fit. Periodically inspect the housing for signs of wear or damage, especially in high-vibration or extreme temperature environments. The assembly is rated for ambient temperatures from -50 °C to +80 °C (T4) or -50 °C to +40 °C (T5).
