Bently Nevada 21000-16-05-00-115-03-02 Proximity Probe Housing Assembly

Description

The 21000-16-05-00-115-03-02 is a Bently Nevada proximity probe housing assembly configured for 3300 XL 8 mm probes. This specific assembly features a 0.5 meter (20 in) probe cable length (Option 05) and is designed without a standoff adapter (Option 00). The probe penetration is set to 11.5 inches (Option 115), providing the necessary reach for machinery casing installation.

This housing assembly utilizes an aluminum body construction with a 304 stainless steel sleeve, ensuring compatibility with standard machinery monitoring environments. The configuration includes Option 03 fittings, which consist of a cable seal grip with grommets, and Option 02 mounting thread, providing a 3/4-14 NPT connection. This system provides a rigid, protective mount for the proximity transducer to ensure measurement stability on rotating machinery.

Installation Guidelines

Ensure the housing is installed in a location that allows for proper probe gap adjustment. When installing, verify that the NPT threads are sealed correctly to maintain the integrity of the enclosure. For probe penetration lengths greater than 12 inches (300 mm), additional sleeve support is required near the probe to prevent resonance. Consult the 3300 XL transducer user guide for specific probe gap requirements and wiring procedures.
