Turbine & Rotating Machinery Vibration Monitoring Solution — Bently Nevada 31000-16-10-00-159-00-02 | 3300 Series
Where This Product Is Used
The Bently Nevada 31000-16-10-00-159-00-02 Proximity Probe Housing Assembly is engineered for continuous, non-contact shaft vibration and position measurement in high-speed rotating machinery. Typical deployment environments include:
- Steam & Gas Turbines — radial vibration monitoring on HP/LP rotor shafts
- Centrifugal Compressors — axial position and differential expansion measurement
- Pumps & Fans — bearing journal orbit analysis in petrochemical plants
- Gearboxes — gear mesh frequency and shaft eccentricity detection
- Marine Propulsion Systems — shaft alignment verification under load
- Power Generation — generator rotor runout and eccentricity monitoring per API 670
This housing assembly secures the eddy-current probe tip at a precise, repeatable standoff distance from the target shaft, ensuring measurement accuracy across the full operating temperature and vibration range of the machine.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Is the 31000-16-10-00-159-00-02 compatible with the Bently Nevada 3500 monitoring rack?
A: Yes. This probe housing is designed for use with the 3300 XL Proximitor driver, which interfaces directly with the 3500/42M monitor module in the 3500 rack system.
Q: What is the recommended gap voltage for this probe on a steel shaft?
A: Typically –10 VDC at the nominal 1.0 mm (40 mil) gap, per the 3300 XL calibration curve. Verify against the specific proximitor driver datasheet for your installation.
Q: Can this housing be used in a hazardous (classified) area?
A: Standard units are not ATEX/IECEx certified. Contact us to confirm availability of intrinsically safe or explosion-proof variants for Zone 1/2 or Division 1/2 installations.
Q: What is the lead time for this part?
A: In-stock units ship within 1–3 business days. For out-of-stock situations, typical lead time is 2–4 weeks. Contact us for current availability.
Q: Do you provide a warranty?
A: Yes. Konmask.com offers a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects on all genuine Bently Nevada components sourced through our supply chain.
