Bently Nevada 31000-28-10-00-114-03-02 Proximity Probe Housing, Type 4X/IP66

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the 31000-28-10-00-114-03-02 are listed below for quick reference:

Industry Applications for Enhanced Reliability

The 11.4 in probe penetration allows deep insertion into bearing housings, while the 3/4-14 NPT mounting thread ensures a secure seal in high-vibration zones. The Type 4X and IP66 ratings make it suitable for outdoor installations exposed to rain, washdowns, and corrosive atmospheres. By preventing moisture ingress and mechanical damage, the housing reduces false alarms and unplanned downtime.

Installation and Setup Guidance

When installing the 31000-28-10-00-114-03-02, ensure the mounting surface is clean and the 3/4-14 NPT thread is properly lubricated. Tighten the retaining nut to the recommended torque of 29.4 N·m (260 in·lb). Use the provided cable seal grip with appropriate grommet for cable diameters between 1/8 to 3/8 inches. The housing is not designed to resist internal or external pressure, so avoid pressurizing the assembly. Always verify that the grounding liner is installed for proper electrostatic dissipation.

Maintenance and Reliability

Periodically inspect the housing for signs of impact damage or corrosion. The AISI 304 and 303 stainless steel components offer resistance to rust, while the Neoprene O-rings maintain sealing integrity over a wide temperature range. The housing impact strength is certified to withstand 4 Joule impacts at extreme temperatures (-39°C and 115°C). If the assembly is exposed to harsh chemicals, verify compatibility with the PPS housing material. Replace any damaged O-rings promptly to preserve the IP66 seal.
