31000-16-10-00-050-03-02 | Bently Nevada 8mm Probe Housing
Product Overview: Bently Nevada 31000-16-10-00-050-03-02
When machine vibration monitoring demands reliable sensor protection, the 31000-16-10-00-050-03-02 from Bently Nevada delivers. This 31000 Proximity Probe Housing is engineered to house a 3300 XL 8 mm probe, providing a secure and durable enclosure for continuous operation in demanding industrial environments.
The housing is constructed from glass-reinforced Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) thermoplastic with conductive fibers, offering excellent strength and electrostatic dissipation. Its robust design meets Type 4X and IP66 protection ratings, ensuring resistance to water and dust ingress. This makes it a dependable choice for critical machinery monitoring applications.

The housing's impact strength is certified by BASEEFA to withstand 4 Joule impacts at extreme temperatures, and CSA verified 7 Joule impact at room temperature. This ensures long-term durability in harsh conditions.
Applications & Use Cases
The 31000-16-10-00-050-03-02 is ideal for vibration monitoring on rotating machinery such as pumps, motors, and turbines. Its robust construction and high protection rating make it suitable for outdoor or washdown environments. The housing effectively seals the probe tip from differential pressure, ensuring accurate readings. This model is particularly useful in applications where probe access is limited and a secure, weatherproof enclosure is required.

Installation & Setup
Mounting the housing is straightforward with its 3/4-14 NPT thread. The recommended torque for the retaining nut is 29.4 N·m (260 in·lb). Ensure the cable seal grips are properly tightened to maintain the IP66 rating. The housing is not designed to resist internal or external pressure, so avoid pressurizing the enclosure. For applications requiring pressure testing, contact the custom design department.
Maintenance & Reliability
Regular inspection of the housing and seals is recommended to maintain protection. Check the O-rings for wear and replace them if necessary. The stainless steel sleeves resist corrosion, but periodic cleaning may be needed in dirty environments. With proper care, this housing provides reliable service life, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
Compatibility & Integration
This housing is specifically designed for Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm probes. It integrates seamlessly with Bently Nevada monitoring systems. The 1.0 m cable length and 5.0 in penetration allow flexible installation. The fittings option includes a reducer for different cable sizes, enhancing compatibility with various setups.
Troubleshooting & Common Issues
If the housing loses its seal, check the O-rings and cable grips. Ensure the retaining nut is torqued to specification. If vibration readings are erratic, verify the probe is properly seated and the cable is not damaged. For persistent issues, consult the Bently Nevada manual or contact Petro Auto Tech for support.
