Bently Nevada 21000-16-05-00-040-03-02 Proximity Probe Housing Assembly

Description

The 21000-16-05-00-040-03-02 is a Bently Nevada Proximity Probe Housing Assembly configured with a 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe (Option 16), a 0.5 m probe cable length (Option 05), and a 4.0 in probe penetration depth (Option 040). This unit features an aluminum body with a 304 stainless steel sleeve to provide rugged mechanical protection for machinery vibration and position monitoring sensors in industrial environments. This specific configuration includes a cable seal grip (Option 03) for secure lead routing and 3/4-14 NPT mounting threads (Option 02).

The 21000 series housings comply with API 670 standards for externally mounted proximity probe housings. By utilizing a standardized housing assembly, the system ensures consistent probe positioning and protection against environmental contaminants. This assembly is engineered to facilitate precise measurement of shaft vibration and axial position, supporting 3300 XL transducer systems in critical rotating machinery applications.

Installation Guidelines

Ensure the probe lead is longer than the internal sleeve to maintain signal integrity. For penetration lengths between 1.0 and 2.0 inches, case counter-boring may be required to reduce side-view or rear-view effects from metal components. For penetration depths exceeding 300 mm (12 in), additional sleeve support must be installed near the probe to prevent resonance. Always verify the probe gap is set according to the 3300 XL Transducer System manual before final housing securement.
