Bently Nevada 31000-16-05-00-068-03-02 English Proximity Probe Housing Assemblies

Description

The 31000-16-05-00-068-03-02 is a specialized English Proximity Probe Housing Assembly designed for industrial machinery monitoring. This configuration includes a pre-installed 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe (Option 16) with a 0.5 m cable length (Option 05), configured for applications requiring a specific probe penetration depth of 68 mm (Option 068). The assembly utilizes a robust polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) housing, providing excellent chemical and corrosion resistance for demanding environments.

Engineered for external mounting through the machine case, this housing allows for maintenance access, enabling gap adjustments or probe replacements without requiring machine disassembly. This specific unit is equipped with two plugs and one M20 fitting (Option 03) and features a 3/4-14 NPT mounting thread (Option 02). It is intended to provide mechanical and environmental protection for the transducer system in radial vibration or shaft position measurement applications.

Features

• Probe Configuration: Includes 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe for high-accuracy vibration and position sensing.
• Cable Length: 0.5 m probe cable integration.
• Housing Material: High-strength, corrosion-resistant polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) thermoplastic.
• Penetration Depth: Configured for 68 mm probe penetration.
• Fittings: Equipped with two plugs and one M20 conduit fitting for cable management.
• Mounting: 3/4-14 NPT mounting thread for secure installation into the machine case.
• Compatibility: Compliant with API 670 standards for externally mounted proximity probe housings.

Applications

This housing assembly is used in heavy industrial environments for critical machinery protection, including:

• Radial vibration measurements on rotating machinery.
• Axial position monitoring.
• Keyphasor measurements.
• Environments where external access to the probe for gap adjustment is required.

Installation Guidelines

Ensure the machine casing is properly affixed to the bearing to obtain an accurate relative vibration signal. Install the outer sleeve into the machine case, then insert the probe sleeve and adjust the probe gap before fitting the housing. All unused housing ports must be sealed with the provided plugs. Tighten hole plug nuts to 0.5 N-m (5 in-lbs) if applicable.
