Bently Nevada 31000-26-05-00-100-03-02 Proximity Probe Housing Assembly

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the 31000-26-05-00-100-03-02 are listed below for quick reference:

Application Versatility

Its 0.5 m cable length suits tight installations where the probe connects directly to a nearby junction box. The 3/4-14 NPT mounting thread simplifies integration into standard industrial piping or custom brackets. The included fittings—two plugs, a reducer, and a cable seal grip—accommodate various cable diameters from 1/8 to 3/8 inches for flexible field wiring.

Installation and Setup Guidance

Mount the housing securely using the 3/4-14 NPT thread. Ensure the O-ring seals are properly seated to maintain the Type 4X/IP66 integrity. The recommended torque for the retaining nut is 29.4 N·m (260 in·lb). When routing the probe cable, use the provided cable seal grip with the appropriate grommet for your cable size to prevent moisture ingress. Do not subject the assembly to internal or external pressure; it is designed for differential pressure sealing only.

Maintenance and Reliability

Periodically inspect the housing and cover for cracks or damage, especially after impact events. Verify that the O-rings remain pliable and free of cuts. Clean the exterior with mild detergent and water; avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the plastic surface. Check the cable seal grip tightness annually to ensure continued environmental sealing. The stainless steel sleeve and retaining chain resist corrosion in humid or chemical atmospheres.

Robust Protection for Critical Vibration Monitoring

Industrial rotating machinery demands precise vibration monitoring to prevent catastrophic failures. The Bently Nevada 31000-26-05-00-100-03-02 proximity probe housing assembly provides a rugged, environmentally sealed enclosure for 3300 XL NSv probes. Designed for demanding applications, this housing ensures reliable performance in extreme temperatures and hazardous areas.

Designed for Harsh Environments

This housing assembly is built to withstand the toughest conditions. The Type 4X and IP66 ratings ensure protection against hose-directed water and dust ingress, making it suitable for outdoor and washdown areas. The glass-reinforced PPS thermoplastic with conductive fibers provides electrostatic dissipation for hazardous locations, certified to CENELEC EN50014. Impact testing by BASEEFA at -39°C and 115°C confirms durability under extreme thermal stress.

Compatibility and Integration

This housing is specifically designed for use with the Bently Nevada 3300 XL NSv probe (8 mm). It is not compatible with other probe types without adapter kits. The assembly supports differential pressure sealing between the probe tip and housing body via internal Viton and Neoprene O-rings.
