The Bently Nevada 31000-16-10-00-085-03-02 is a robust proximity probe housing from the trusted 31000 series. This housing is specifically designed to accommodate 3300 XL 8 mm probes. It provides secure mounting and environmental protection for critical vibration monitoring sensors. This configuration includes a 1.0-meter probe cable length and 8.5-inch probe penetration. The housing features a 3/4-14 NPT mounting thread with comprehensive fitting options. Therefore, it ensures reliable sensor performance in demanding industrial applications. Users benefit from its durable construction and superior protection ratings.
The fittings option '03' provides a comprehensive package for installation. This includes:
Two plugs for sealing unused ports
One 3/4-14 to 1/2-14 NPT stainless steel reducer
One cable seal grip with multiple grommets for various cable sizes
The cable seal grip accommodates the following cable diameter ranges:
1/8 to 3/16 inches
1/4 to 5/16 inches
5/16 to 3/8 inches
This versatility ensures proper sealing for different cable types. The fittings allow flexible installation configurations to suit various machine mounting requirements.
The Bently Nevada 31000-16-10-00-085-03-02 offers exceptional environmental protection. It holds a Type 4X rating certified by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). This ensures resistance to corrosion, rain, sleet, and ice damage. Additionally, it carries an IP66 rating verified by SC115582-1 (e) 106. This guarantees protection against powerful water jets and dust ingress.
Furthermore, the housing meets CENELEC standard EN50014 requirements. This rating addresses electrostatic dissipation for plastic materials located in hazardous areas. The housing is designed to safely dissipate static charges. This prevents ignition risks in potentially explosive atmospheres.
The housing construction uses premium materials for maximum durability. The housing itself is glass-reinforced Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) thermoplastic. This material contains conductive fibers for electrostatic dissipation. It provides excellent chemical resistance and dimensional stability.
The sleeve and retaining chain use AISI 304 stainless steel. This offers good corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. The outer sleeve and exterior screws use AISI 303 stainless steel. This provides enhanced machinability and surface finish. The O-ring material is Neoprene®. This ensures reliable sealing against environmental contaminants.
The Bently Nevada 31000-16-10-00-085-03-02 demonstrates outstanding mechanical strength. BASEEFA certified the housing to withstand two separate 4 Joule (3.0 ft·lb) impacts. This testing occurred at both -39°C (-38°F) and at 115°C (239°F). These extreme temperatures represent harsh industrial conditions.
Moreover, CSA verified that housing and cover samples withstand a 7 Joule (5.2 ft·lb) impact. This testing occurred at ambient room temperature. The housing also supports significant static loads. Testing showed the outer sleeve supporting 912 N (205 lb). This load was placed approximately 38 mm (1.5 inches) from the unsupported end. The cover was fastened and grounding liner installed during testing.
Proper installation ensures optimal performance and longevity. The recommended torque for the retaining nut is 29.4 N·m (260 in·lb). This ensures proper sealing and secure mounting without damaging components.
First, prepare the mounting surface according to the machine requirements. The 3/4-14 NPT thread requires proper sealing compound or tape. Next, install the housing assembly into the mounting hole. Ensure the probe penetration of 8.5 inches is correctly positioned. Then, route the probe cable through the appropriate cable seal grip grommet. Finally, secure all fittings and tighten to the specified torque values.
The operating temperature range for this housing is -51°C to +105°C (-60°F to +221°F). This broad range accommodates most industrial applications. The housing maintains structural integrity across this entire temperature spectrum. The impact strength certification at extreme temperatures confirms its reliability.
The Type 4X and IP66 ratings ensure protection in outdoor and washdown environments. This makes the housing suitable for use in chemical plants, refineries, and offshore platforms. The electrostatic dissipation rating adds safety for hazardous area installations.
