Key Features & Technical Specs of the 21000-34-00-00-039-04-02

  • Probe Penetration: 3.9 in (039 suffix) for precise positioning.
  • Mounting Thread: 3/4-14 NPT for secure installation.
  • Material: Aluminum body with 304 stainless steel sleeve for corrosion resistance.
  • Weight: 1.1 kg (2.4 lb) typical, without fittings – lightweight for easy handling.
  • Probe Cable Length: 0.5 m, minimizing signal loss.
  • Maximum Dimension (C + D): 13.5 in (34.3 cm) for compact footprint.
  • CSA Approval: Explosion-proof rating for hazardous areas, reducing safety compliance costs.

A standout spec is the 3.9 in probe penetration, which allows deeper insertion into bearing housings for more accurate readings. This precision helps avoid false alarms and unplanned downtime, directly improving operational efficiency.

Applications & Use Cases

In petrochemical plants, the 21000-34-00-00-039-04-02 monitors shaft vibration on compressors and turbines. Its CSA Type 4 enclosure withstands harsh weather, while the explosion-proof rating ensures safe operation in Class I, Division 1 areas. For example, a refinery using this assembly reduced false trips by 15% due to consistent probe positioning. Additionally, its 304 stainless steel sleeve resists corrosive chemicals, extending service life and lowering replacement frequency.

Installation Guide

Mount the housing using the 3/4-14 NPT thread into a pre-drilled hole. Ensure the probe sleeve penetrates 3.9 in into the target area. Tighten the dome cover to seal the assembly, and connect conduit fittings to the threaded ports. For optimal performance, verify that the probe cable length of 0.5 m is not exceeded. Always follow Bently Nevada's torque specifications to avoid thread damage.

Maintenance & Reliability

Inspect the O-rings and thread seal annually for wear. Clean the dome cover with a dry cloth to prevent debris buildup. The aluminum body resists corrosion, but check for cracks after extreme temperature cycles. By replacing worn seals promptly, you avoid moisture ingress that could cause probe failure. This proactive approach reduces emergency repairs and extends the assembly's lifespan beyond 10 years in typical service.

Compatibility & Integration

The 21000-34-00-00-039-04-02 works with Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probes. It integrates with monitoring systems like the 3500 series via standard BNC connectors. For hazardous area installations, pair it with intrinsically safe barriers. No special software is needed – the assembly is mechanical, so compatibility depends solely on probe type and mounting thread.

FAQs about the 21000-34-00-00-039-04-02

Q: What is the probe penetration of the 21000-34-00-00-039-04-02?

A: The probe penetration is 3.9 in, as indicated by the 039 suffix code.

Q: Is this housing assembly explosion-proof?
