Bently Nevada 31000-16-05-00-080-03-02 Proximity Probe Housing Assembly – 3300 Series Vibration Monitoring System
When a proximity probe housing fails mid-operation on a high-speed turbine or compressor train, the consequences are immediate and severe: undetected shaft vibration, missed critical alarms, and the very real risk of catastrophic machinery failure. Without a properly installed and calibrated probe housing assembly, your condition monitoring system is blind — leaving rotating assets worth millions of dollars exposed to unplanned downtime, costly repairs, and potential safety incidents. In industries where continuous uptime is non-negotiable, the integrity of every sensor mounting component is as critical as the sensor itself.
The Bently Nevada 31000-16-05-00-080-03-02 is a precision-engineered Proximity Probe Housing Assembly designed for the 3300 Series — one of the most widely deployed vibration monitoring platforms in global industrial automation. This specific part number encodes a complete mechanical configuration: 16mm probe diameter compatibility, 5mm gap range, stainless construction, and a defined cable exit orientation optimized for tight machinery installations. Within the 3300 Series ecosystem, this housing assembly serves as the critical mechanical interface between the eddy-current probe tip and the rotating shaft, ensuring consistent gap geometry, electrical isolation, and long-term positional stability in harsh environments including high temperature, high vibration, and chemically aggressive atmospheres.

Industry & Equipment Applications
- Oil & Gas: Centrifugal compressors, gas turbines, steam turbines, and pipeline pumping stations where shaft vibration monitoring is mandatory under API 670.
- Power Generation: Steam and gas turbine-generators in utility and industrial power plants requiring continuous vibration surveillance.
- Petrochemical & Refining: Reactor feed pumps, cracked gas compressors, and other critical rotating equipment in ATEX/hazardous area installations.
- LNG & Offshore: Topside compressor trains and subsea-adjacent machinery where reliability and corrosion resistance are paramount.
- Pulp & Paper / Steel: High-speed rolls, fans, and blowers where bearing condition monitoring drives predictive maintenance programs.
- Marine Propulsion: Shaft monitoring on large marine diesel and gas turbine propulsion systems.
