Bently Nevada 21000-16-10-000-102-03-02 Proximity Probe Housing Assemblies

Description

The 21000-16-10-000-102-03-02 is an aluminum proximity probe housing assembly designed for external mounting of 3300 XL 8mm eddy-current proximity probes. This configuration features a 1.0 m (39 in) probe cable length (Option 10), a 10.2 inch probe penetration depth (Option 102), and is equipped with a cable seal grip fitting (Option 03) to secure lead wires. The housing uses a standard 3/4-14 NPT mounting thread (Option 02) and includes no standoff adapter (Option 000), making it suitable for direct mounting applications where the probe assembly requires a robust, all-metal protective enclosure.

As a core component of the Bently Nevada 21000 series, this assembly complies with API 670 standards for externally mounted proximity probe housings. It provides a protective environment for the transducer system, safeguarding the probe and cabling from industrial process environments. The aluminum body construction, combined with the cable seal grip, ensures effective environmental resistance for shaft vibration and position monitoring setups.

Features

• Probe Compatibility: Configured for 3300 XL 8mm proximity probes (Option 16).
• Cable Management: Integrated cable seal grip (Option 03) for reliable cable entry and sealing.
• Mounting Specification: 3/4-14 NPT mounting thread (Option 02) for standard industrial installation.
• Penetration Depth: 10.2 inch probe penetration (Option 102) tailored for specific mechanical clearances.
• Robust Design: Aluminum body construction compliant with API 670 standards for external probe mounting.
• No Standoff: Direct mount configuration with no standoff adapter (Option 000).

Applications

• Externally mounted proximity probe protection for rotating machinery
• Shaft vibration and axial position monitoring
• Oil and gas, petrochemical, and power generation environments
• Applications requiring API 670 compliant housing assemblies

Installation Guidelines

Ensure the housing is mounted securely to the machine case using the specified 3/4-14 NPT thread. When installing the probe, verify the gap between the probe tip and the target surface according to the 3300 XL transducer system specifications. Ensure the cable seal grip is tightened sufficiently to maintain the integrity of the enclosure against environmental ingress. If the probe penetration length (C + D) exceeds 300 mm (12 in), additional sleeve support must be installed to prevent resonance during machine operation.
