Bently Nevada 31000-28-10-00-010-01-02 Proximity Probe Housing Assembly

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the 31000-28-10-00-010-01-02 are listed below for quick reference:

Application Versatility

The 1.0 m cable length and 1.0 in probe penetration suit standard installation depths. The 3/4-14 NPT mounting thread and single fitting with two plugs allow flexible conduit connections. The Type 4X and IP66 ratings enable outdoor or washdown-area deployment without compromising sensor integrity.

Installation and Setup Guidance

When installing the 31000-28-10-00-010-01-02, ensure the mounting surface is clean and the NPT thread is properly sealed. Apply the recommended torque of 29.4 N·m (260 in·lb) to the retaining nut. The housing is designed to seal differential pressure between the probe tip and main body when used with a 3300 XL 8 mm probe. Note that the plastic housing is not designed to resist internal or external pressure; probes are not pressure tested prior to shipment. For pressure-critical applications, contact our custom design department.

Maintenance and Reliability

Periodically inspect the housing for signs of physical damage or O-ring degradation. Verify that all exterior screws remain tight and the grounding liner is intact. The assembly is built for long-term reliability in extreme temperatures from -51°C to +105°C. No internal maintenance is required; simply replace the unit if damage occurs.

Robust Protection for Critical Vibration Monitoring

The Bently Nevada 31000-28-10-00-010-01-02 is a 31000 series proximity probe housing assembly engineered for demanding machinery protection applications. This unit is designed to house a 3300 XL 8 mm probe with multiple approvals, providing a sealed enclosure that withstands harsh conditions. It is built for environments where reliability and safety are paramount.

Engineered for Harsh Environments

The housing is constructed from glass-reinforced Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) thermoplastic containing conductive fibers, ensuring electrostatic dissipation in hazardous areas. The sleeve and retaining chain are made of AISI 304 stainless steel, while the outer sleeve and exterior screws use AISI 303 stainless steel for corrosion resistance. The Neoprene O-ring provides a reliable seal. This assembly is certified to withstand impact: BASEEFA verified two separate 4 Joule impacts at -39°C and 115°C, and CSA verified a 7 Joule impact at ambient temperature.

Selection and Purchasing Advice

When ordering the Bently Nevada 31000-28-10-00-010-01-02, confirm that your probe type and cable length match the specified options. This assembly is a direct replacement for existing 31000 series housings. Please verify current lifecycle status and availability with AutoDCSTech before ordering.
