Bently Nevada 31000-00-00-00-120-00-02 Proximity Probe Housing

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the 31000-00-00-00-120-00-02 are listed below for quick reference:

Industry Applications: Built for Harsh Environments

The Type 4X and IP66 ratings ensure protection against water jets and corrosive atmospheres, making it suitable for chemical plants, offshore platforms, and pulp and paper mills. The wide temperature range (-51°C to +105°C) allows deployment in both arctic and high-heat zones without performance degradation. The conductive fiber-filled PPS material meets CENELEC EN50014 requirements for electrostatic dissipation in hazardous areas, reducing ignition risk.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Mount the housing using the 3/4-14 NPT thread option (mandatory when ordering a standoff adapter). Ensure the retaining nut is torqued to 29.4 N·m (260 in·lb) as recommended. The housing supports up to 912 N (205 lb) when mounted per typical test conditions, providing ample strength for probe insertion in heavy machinery. Always verify that the grounding liner is installed to maintain electrostatic discharge protection.

Maintenance & Reliability

Periodically inspect the O-ring seal and exterior screws for signs of wear or corrosion. The AISI 304 and 303 stainless steel components offer corrosion resistance, but regular checks in aggressive chemical environments are advised. The housing impact strength has been verified at extreme temperatures, ensuring long-term reliability even under mechanical stress.

Robust Protection for Critical Vibration Monitoring

When monitoring rotating machinery in demanding environments, the integrity of your proximity probe system is paramount. The Bently Nevada 31000-00-00-00-120-00-02 is a purpose-built housing designed to shield sensitive probes from moisture, dust, and physical impact while maintaining reliable performance across extreme temperatures. This component is engineered for applications where failure is not an option.

Compatibility & Integration

This housing is designed for use with Bently Nevada proximity probe systems. The 12-inch probe penetration option (Option D: 120) accommodates standard probe lengths. When ordering, note that probe and cable are not included (Option A and B set to 00).

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

When selecting a probe housing, consider the environmental conditions and mounting requirements. The 31000-00-00-00-120-00-02 offers a proven solution for hazardous and wet locations.
