Bently Nevada 31000-16-10-00-162-00-02 Proximity Probe Housing Assembly | 3300 XL Series
Engineering Background
The Bently Nevada 3300 XL Series represents the global standard for continuous vibration monitoring in rotating machinery protection systems. Deployed across power generation, oil & gas, petrochemical, and heavy industrial facilities worldwide, the 3300 XL platform is trusted where unplanned downtime is not an option. The housing assembly (P/N 31000-16-10-00-162-00-02) is a precision-engineered mechanical interface component that secures and aligns the eddy-current proximity probe within the machine casing, ensuring consistent gap distance, signal integrity, and long-term mechanical stability under harsh operating conditions.

Engineering Advantages
- OEM-grade dimensional accuracy — maintains precise probe-to-target gap for linear output within the 3300 XL calibrated range
- Corrosion-resistant construction — suitable for wet, high-humidity, and chemically aggressive environments
- Vibration-resistant locking — thread-lock design prevents probe migration under continuous machine vibration
- Drop-in replacement — no field modification required; direct fit to existing 3300 XL installations
- Reduced MTTR — standardized housing enables rapid probe swap during planned or emergency maintenance windows
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The 3300 XL proximity measurement chain consists of: Probe → Extension Cable → Proximitor® Sensor → Monitor (3500 or 3300 rack). The housing assembly (31000-16-10-00-162-00-02) mechanically anchors the probe at the machine casing, establishing the critical air-gap geometry. The eddy-current field generated by the probe tip interacts with the rotating target (shaft), and the Proximitor converts the gap variation into a DC voltage signal (typically –24 VDC nominal, –200 mV/mil sensitivity). This signal feeds directly into the 3500 Series monitor for alarm, trip, and data acquisition functions per API 670 requirements.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is this housing compatible with the 3300 NSv or 3300 RAM probe series?
A: This housing is specifically dimensioned for the 3300 XL 8mm probe family. Compatibility with NSv or RAM variants should be confirmed against OEM dimensional drawings before ordering.
Q: Can this be used in a SIL 2 safety loop?
A: The mechanical housing itself does not carry a SIL rating; SIL compliance is determined at the system level by the Proximitor and monitor combination. Consult your functional safety engineer for loop assessment.
Q: Do you provide installation support?
A: Yes. Our technical team can provide gap-setting procedures, torque specifications, and commissioning guidance. Contact support@konmask.com.
Q: What is the lead time for bulk orders (>10 units)?
A: Bulk availability is subject to current stock. Submit an RFQ for confirmed lead time and volume pricing.
