Bently Nevada 21000-16-05-00-096-00-02 21000 Proximity Probe Housing Assemblies

Description

The 21000-16-05-00-096-00-02 is a proximity probe housing assembly configured with a 3/4-14 NPT process thread and a 1/2-14 NPT conduit thread (Option 16), designed for 3/8-24 UNF probe mounting (Option 05) with a 9.6-inch extension length (Option 096) and aluminum construction (Option 02). This assembly serves as a protective enclosure for eddy-current proximity probes, ensuring reliable operation in harsh industrial environments by shielding the transducer from process fluids and mechanical damage.

The housing provides a consistent mounting interface for 3300 or 7200 series proximity probes. This specific configuration, featuring an aluminum body and 9.6-inch extension, is utilized in installations requiring secure sensor positioning where standard mounting hardware is insufficient. It is compatible with systems requiring 3/8-24 probe threads and facilitates routing of probe cabling through conduit systems to protect against physical abrasion and environmental ingress.

Features

• Housing assembly with 3/4-14 NPT process thread and 1/2-14 NPT conduit connection.
• Configured for 3/8-24 UNF-2A proximity probe threads.
• 9.6-inch housing extension provides specific clearance requirements for probe installation.
• Aluminum material construction for compatibility with standard industrial process conditions.
• Facilitates rigid probe mounting for accurate shaft vibration and axial position measurements.

Applications

• Hydrocarbon and chemical processing plants
• Steam and gas turbine machinery protection
• Centrifugal compressor vibration monitoring
• Fluid handling and pumping station shaft position analysis
• General rotating machinery vibration diagnostics

Installation Guidelines

Ensure threads are clean and lubricated if required by site-specific standards prior to installation. Verify that the housing is torqued sufficiently to prevent movement during machine operation but avoid over-tightening which may deform the aluminum threads. When routing cables through the conduit port, use appropriate seals to maintain ingress protection ratings. Ensure the proximity probe is properly gapped according to the specific transducer datasheet before finalizing the housing position.
