Bently Nevada 21000-16-05-00-135-03-02 – Eddy Current Proximity Probe Housing Assembly | 3300 XL Series Platform
Engineering Background: The Bently Nevada 21000 Series Proximity Probe Housing Assemblies are purpose-engineered components within Baker Hughes’ industry-leading 3300 XL continuous vibration monitoring ecosystem. Designed to house and protect eddy-current proximity probes in demanding rotating machinery environments, these assemblies ensure precise radial and axial displacement measurement with long-term mechanical stability.
Product Positioning: Part number 21000-16-05-00-135-03-02 is a fully specified housing assembly variant, encoding probe tip diameter, cable length, thread configuration, and connector type. It is the preferred choice for procurement engineers specifying replacement or expansion components in turbines, compressors, pumps, and other critical rotating assets monitored under API 670 standards.

System Architecture & Signal Flow
The 21000-16-05-00-135-03-02 housing assembly integrates into the standard Bently Nevada 3300 XL signal chain as follows:
Rotating Shaft → Probe Tip (Eddy Current Field) → Probe Body → Extension Cable (135 cm) → 3300 XL Monitor Input → Keyphasor / Vibration Processing → DCS / Safety System Output
The housing mechanically fixes the probe at the correct gap distance (typically 50 mil / 1.27 mm from target) and provides EMI shielding continuity throughout the cable run. Signal output is a DC voltage proportional to gap distance, processed by the paired 3300 XL monitor card.
