Bently Nevada 31000-16-05-00-65-03-02 Proximity Probe Housing

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the 31000-16-05-00-65-03-02 are listed below for quick reference:

Industry Applications for Maximum Uptime

The 3300 XL 8 mm probe compatibility allows seamless integration into existing Bently Nevada systems. The Type 4X and IP66 ratings make it suitable for outdoor installations, washdown areas, and environments with dust or moisture. The wide temperature range ensures reliable operation in extreme climates, from arctic conditions to high-heat process areas.

Installation and Setup Guidance

Mount the housing securely using the provided 3/4-14 NPT fitting. Ensure the retaining nut is torqued to 29.4 N·m (260 in·lb) as recommended. The standoff adapter option is not used in this configuration (Option 00). For cable entry, use the supplied fittings: one 3/4-14 NPT plug, one 3/4-14 to 1/2-14 NPT SST reducer, and a cable seal grip that accommodates cable diameters from 1/8 to 3/8 inches. Always verify the grounding liner is installed for proper electrostatic dissipation in hazardous areas.

Maintenance and Reliability

Periodically inspect the housing for physical damage, especially after high-impact events. Check the O-ring (Neoprene) for signs of wear or compression set. Ensure all stainless steel fasteners (AISI 303 and 304) remain tight and corrosion-free. The housing impact strength is certified by BASEEFA to withstand 4 Joule impacts at extreme temperatures, and CSA verified 7 Joule impacts at ambient temperature. This robust design minimizes maintenance frequency.

Robust Protection for Critical Vibration Monitoring

When machine reliability is non-negotiable, the Bently Nevada 31000-16-05-00-65-03-02 provides a rugged enclosure for 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probes. This housing is engineered for harsh industrial environments, offering certified ingress protection and impact resistance. It ensures consistent, accurate vibration and position measurements that protect your rotating machinery.

Compatibility and Integration

The 31000-16-05-00-65-03-02 is designed specifically for the 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe system. It integrates with Bently Nevada monitors and software for seamless data acquisition. The housing meets CENELEC EN50014 requirements for electrostatic dissipation, making it suitable for hazardous locations. All external components are stainless steel for corrosion resistance.

Selection Guide and Purchasing Advice

When selecting a probe housing, consider the probe type, cable length, and environmental conditions. The 31000-16-05-00-65-03-02 is configured for a 3300 XL 8 mm probe with a 0.5 m cable and 6.5 in penetration. For different probe options or cable lengths, consult the full 31000 series catalog.
