Bently Nevada 31000-00-00-00-031-01-02 English Proximity Probe Housing Assembly

Description

The 31000-00-00-00-031-01-02 is a specialized English Proximity Probe Housing Assembly designed for secure, external machinery case mounting of proximity transducers. This specific configuration includes a 3300 XL NSv probe with connector protector (Option A: 31), without probe cable (Option B: 00), without standoff adapter (Option C: 00), 031 mm penetration (Option D: 031), one M25 fitting (Option E: 01), and M24 x 3 mounting thread (Option F: 02). This housing assembly provides robust mechanical and environmental protection for sensors used in critical machinery monitoring, such as radial vibration or Keyphasor measurements. The 31000 series is constructed from polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), a high-strength thermoplastic offering excellent corrosion resistance, complemented by corrosion-resistant stainless steel components. The design facilitates external access to the proximity probe and extension cable, allowing for gap adjustment or probe replacement without requiring the disassembly of the machine case.

Features

• Housing Material: Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) thermoplastic with stainless steel elements
• Probe Configuration (Option A: 31): Includes 3300 XL NSv probe with connector protector
• Penetration (Option D: 031): 31 mm probe penetration depth
• Fittings (Option E: 01): One M25 fitting for cable routing
• Mounting Thread (Option F: 02): M24 x 3 thread interface
• Protection: Compliant with API 670 standards for externally mounted proximity probe housings
• Accessibility: Allows for gap adjustment and sensor replacement without machine case disassembly

Applications

• Radial vibration monitoring on rotating machinery
• Keyphasor and speed measurement applications
• Installations requiring external probe access for simplified maintenance
• Hazardous area applications (when used with appropriate I.S. barriers and transducer systems)

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the machine casing is properly affixed to the bearing to maintain accurate relative vibration signals for radial measurements.
• The housing provides environmental and mechanical protection; it is not an explosion-proof rated housing.
• If "C" plus "D" dimensions exceed 305 mm (12 in), install additional sleeve support near the probe to prevent resonance.
• For probe penetration lengths between 25 mm and 50 mm, counter-boring the machine case may be necessary to minimize side-view or rear-view effects.
• Tighten hole plug nuts to 0.5 N-m (5 in-lbs) if unused ports are plugged.
