Bently Nevada 31000-16-10-15-030-03-02 Proximity Probe Housing Assembly – 3300 XL Series
When a proximity probe loses its mechanical housing integrity on a rotating machinery train, the consequences cascade fast: undetected shaft vibration, missed radial displacement readings, and ultimately unplanned downtime that can cost tens of thousands of dollars per hour in critical process industries. The housing assembly is not a passive enclosure — it is the precision-engineered mechanical interface that maintains exact probe-to-shaft gap, protects the eddy-current sensing element from process fluids, and ensures signal integrity under continuous thermal and mechanical stress.
The Bently Nevada 31000-16-10-15-030-03-02 is a fully specified proximity probe housing assembly within the industry-leading 3300 XL Series — Bently Nevada’s most widely deployed continuous machinery protection platform. With installations across oil & gas, power generation, petrochemical, and rotating equipment OEM sectors globally, the 3300 XL Series sets the benchmark for API 670-compliant vibration monitoring. This specific part number encodes precise dimensional and configuration parameters (thread size, cable length, housing material, and connector type) that must be matched exactly to maintain system calibration and certification compliance.
