The Bently Nevada 32000-16-05-04-135-03-02 is a precision-engineered metric proximity probe housing assembly. This unit is specifically designed to mount 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probes through the machine casing, which makes it ideal for radial vibration and Keyphasor® measurements.
Furthermore, this housing assembly allows external access to the probe and its extension cable. Consequently, technicians can perform gap adjustments or replace the probe without disassembling the machine, which significantly reduces maintenance downtime. The entire assembly is fully compliant with the American Petroleum Institute's (API) 670 Standard for externally mounted proximity probe housings.
The Bently Nevada 32000-16-05-04-135-03-02 offers a comprehensive set of specifications that ensure reliable operation. The model number itself encodes the exact configuration:
Probe Option (16): Compatible with 3300 XL 8 mm probe systems.
Probe Cable Length (05): 0.5 meters (20 inches).
Standoff Adapter (04): 40 mm offset for proper probe positioning.
Probe Penetration (135): 135 mm insertion depth through the housing.
Fittings (03): Includes two plugs, one M20 fitting, and one cable seal grip with grommets for armored probe cable.
Mounting Thread (02): 3/4-14 NPT (required when using the standoff adapter).
Moreover, this housing delivers exceptional environmental resistance. Its protection ratings include Type 4X certification from the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and an IP66 rating verified by SC115582-1 (e) 106. Additionally, it meets the CENELEC standard EN50014 for electrostatic dissipation of plastic materials used in hazardous areas.
The 32000-16-05-04-135-03-02 is built to endure extreme industrial conditions. The housing is constructed from glass-reinforced Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) thermoplastic containing conductive fibers, which provides excellent dimensional stability and chemical resistance.
For mechanical robustness, the sleeve and retaining chain are made from AISI 304 stainless steel, while the outer sleeve and exterior screws use AISI 303 stainless steel. The O-ring material is Neoprene®, ensuring a tight seal against moisture and contaminants.
Importantly, the housing has passed rigorous impact tests. BASEEFA certified it to withstand two separate 4 Joule (3.0 ft·lb) impacts at both -39°C (-38°F) and 115°C (239°F). Separately, CSA verified that samples of the housing and cover withstand a 7 Joule (5.2 ft·lb) impact at ambient room temperature.
The temperature rating spans from -51°C to +105°C (-60°F to +221°F), making this unit suitable for a wide variety of climate-controlled and outdoor installations.
Proper installation of the Bently Nevada 32000-16-05-04-135-03-02 requires careful attention to the mounting thread and probe penetration. First, ensure the mounting surface has the correct 3/4-14 NPT thread, which is mandatory when using the standoff adapter.
Next, feed the probe cable through the housing and secure it using the cable seal grip with grommets. This grip accommodates armored probe cables effectively. Adjust the probe to achieve the 135 mm penetration depth, then lock the standoff adapter at the 40 mm offset.
Finally, connect the system to a suitable Bently Nevada proximitor or monitoring system. Always verify the gap voltage before final tightening to ensure optimal measurement linearity.
