Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the 31000-16-10-00-050-03-02 are listed below for quick reference:

Industry Applications for the Bently Nevada Housing

The Type 4X and IP66 ratings ensure reliable operation in washdown environments and outdoor installations. The 3/4-14 NPT mounting thread simplifies integration with standard industrial fittings.

Installation & Setup Guidance

When installing the 31000-16-10-00-050-03-02, ensure the probe tip is properly inserted through the housing and the retaining nut is torqued to 29.4 N·m (260 in·lb). The cable seal grip accommodates cable sizes from 1/8 to 3/8 inches. Verify the O-ring is seated correctly to maintain the environmental seal. The housing is not designed for pressurized applications; contact the custom design department if pressure testing is required.

Maintenance & Reliability

Periodically inspect the housing for signs of impact damage or corrosion. The glass-reinforced PPS housing has certified impact strength: it withstands 4 Joule impacts at -39°C and 115°C, and 7 Joule impacts at ambient temperature. Replace the Neoprene O-ring if leakage is suspected. The stainless steel sleeve and retaining chain resist corrosion in harsh environments.

Robust Protection for Critical Vibration Monitoring

In rotating machinery monitoring, probe housing failure can lead to costly unplanned downtime. The Bently Nevada 31000-16-10-00-050-03-02 proximity probe housing assembly provides a durable, sealed enclosure designed to maintain reliable proximity probe positioning in demanding environments. This unit is engineered for use with a 3300 XL 8 mm probe and offers a 5.0 in penetration depth.

Compatibility & Integration

This housing is designed specifically for the 3300 XL 8 mm probe. The assembly seals differential pressure between the probe tip and the housing main body using a Viton O-ring inside the probe case and a Neoprene O-ring between sleeve and housing. The conductive fibers in the housing material provide electrostatic dissipation as per CENELEC EN50014 for hazardous areas.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

When selecting the correct housing, verify the probe penetration (5.0 in) and mounting thread (3/4-14 NPT) match your installation requirements. The 1.0 m probe cable length suits many standard mounting configurations. For availability and lifecycle status, please verify with AutoDCSTech before ordering.
