Bently Nevada 31000-16-05-00-023-02-02 Proximity Probe Housing

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the 31000-16-05-00-023-02-02 are listed below for quick reference:

Industrial Applications for Reliable Monitoring

Typical applications include:

• Steam and gas turbines in power generation, where the IP66 rating protects against washdowns.
• Compressors and pumps in petrochemical plants, benefiting from the Type 4X corrosion resistance.
• Large rotating machinery in paper mills, where the 4 Joule impact strength at extreme temperatures ensures longevity.

Installation and Setup Guidance

Mount the housing using the 3/4-14 NPT thread (required when ordering a standoff adapter). The recommended torque for the retaining nut is 29.4 N·m (260 in·lb). Ensure the Viton O-ring inside the probe case and the Neoprene O-ring between sleeve and housing are properly seated to maintain the seal. The housing is not designed for internal or external pressure; verify your application does not subject it to pressure differentials beyond the seal capability.

Maintenance and Reliability

Periodically inspect the housing for cracks or damage, especially after impact events. The glass-reinforced PPS material resists many chemicals, but avoid prolonged exposure to strong solvents. Check the O-rings during routine maintenance and replace if dry or cracked. The stainless steel sleeve and retaining chain (AISI 304) and outer sleeve/screws (AISI 303) provide corrosion resistance.

Robust Protection for Critical Vibration Monitoring

The Bently Nevada 31000-16-05-00-023-02-02 proximity probe housing provides a rugged, sealed enclosure for 3300 XL 8 mm probes in demanding industrial environments. Designed to withstand hose-directed water and electrostatic discharge, this housing ensures reliable vibration measurement in hazardous areas.

Compatibility and Integration

This housing is specifically designed for use with Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm probes. The 0.5 m probe cable length suits close-coupled installations. The two 3/4-14 NPT fittings allow conduit connections for cable routing. The housing meets CENELEC EN50014 for electrostatic dissipation in hazardous areas.

Selection Guide and Purchasing Advice

When selecting a probe housing, consider the environmental protection required. The 31000-16-05-00-023-02-02 offers Type 4X and IP66 ratings, making it suitable for outdoor or washdown areas. For applications needing a standoff adapter, order the appropriate option separately. Please verify current lifecycle status and availability with AutoDCSTech before ordering.
