21000-16-05-15-102-03-02 Probe Housing Bently Nevada

21000 Proximity Probe Housing by Bently Nevada

Product Introduction

The Bently Nevada 21000-16-05-15-102-03-02 is a premium proximity probe housing assembly engineered for challenging industrial environments. This housing accommodates a 3300 XL 8 mm probe with connector and includes a 0.5 m probe cable. The configuration features a 1.5 in standoff adapter and a 10.2 in probe penetration depth. It comes with versatile fitting options, including one 3/4-14 NPT plug, one 3/4-14 to 1/2-14 NPT reducer, and a cable seal grip with multiple grommet sizes. The mounting thread is 3/4-14 NPT.

Technical Specifications

The Bently Nevada 21000-16-05-15-102-03-02 delivers superior performance for machinery protection systems. Its construction uses an aluminum body with a 304 stainless steel sleeve. This combination provides excellent strength while keeping weight manageable at just 1.1 kg without fittings.

This housing is fully compliant with the American Petroleum Institute's (API) 670 Standard for externally mounted proximity probe housings. It also holds CSA certification as a Type 4 enclosure. Furthermore, the unit is rated explosion-proof for hazardous areas. Specifically, it carries North American approvals for Class 1 Divisions 1 and 2 Groups C and D, Class 2 Divisions 1 and 2 Groups E, F and G, and Class III. The temperature ratings are T5 @ Ta = -50°C to +40°C and T4 @ Ta = -50°C to +80°C.

The housing also complies with FCC Part 15 rules. It meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements as well. These certifications make it suitable for global deployment.

Probe Penetration and Installation Considerations

The 21000-16-05-15-102-03-02 offers a probe penetration length of 10.2 in. For combinations where only a small section of the probe cable is visible, a flag label displays the probe P/N and S/N.

There are important installation considerations to note. For probe penetration lengths between 1.0 and 2.0 inches, counter boring the machine case may be necessary. This reduces probe side view or rear view effects. Additionally, if you select a probe penetration length (C plus D) greater than 300 mm (12 in), you must add sleeve support near the probe. This prevents resonance from occurring. The adjustment range of probe penetration option D is 13 mm (± 0.5 in).

Housing Components and Assembly

The 21000 Proximity Probe Housing Assembly consists of several key parts. These include a dome cover that screws into the body of the housing, threaded ports for conduit connections, and a probe sleeve of optional length. The assembly also includes O-rings, a reverse mount proximity probe, a thread seal, optional conduit fittings, and an optional standoff adapter.

This model ships with a 1.5 in standoff adapter included. The 0.5 m probe cable provides adequate flexibility for installation. The 304 stainless steel sleeve ensures long-term corrosion resistance.

Compliance and Certifications

The Bently Nevada 21000-16-05-15-102-03-02 meets stringent regulatory standards. Its CSA explosion-proof certification covers hazardous area applications. The housing is also available for intrinsically safe applications when paired with approved proximity probes.

The FCC compliance ensures electromagnetic compatibility. The RoHS certification confirms the product is free from hazardous substances. These approvals demonstrate Bently Nevada's commitment to quality and safety.
