Bently Nevada 21000-16-10-15-098-03-02 Housing Assembly

Compact Enclosure for Precision Probe Mounting

The Bently Nevada 21000-16-10-15-098-03-02 housing assembly offers a sturdy mounting solution for proximity probes in tight machinery spaces. This compact assembly accommodates 3300 XL 8 mm probes and provides reliable mechanical protection in demanding industrial conditions. Its stainless steel body measures 98 mm in overall length with a diameter of 22.5 mm for space-efficient installation. The unit weighs approximately 320 grams and includes mounting hardware for rapid deployment. This housing enables precise probe positioning for accurate vibration measurements on rotating equipment.

Construction Materials and Environmental Resistance

This housing assembly employs 316L stainless steel construction that withstands corrosive atmospheres and chemical exposures. The internal 1/4-28 UNF threading accepts standard Bently Nevada probes with a simple twist-in installation method. A robust jam nut locks the probe position securely once the operator achieves the proper gap setting. The housing carries an IP68 rating, offering total dust exclusion and continuous immersion protection. Such durable construction ensures reliable probe performance in outdoor and washdown environments.

Detailed Technical Specifications

Components and Interface Details

This housing assembly includes the main body, a locking jam nut, two mounting washers, and a sealing gasket for environmental protection. The unit accepts standard Bently Nevada proximity probes with 1/4-28 UNF threading, simplifying integration with existing systems. Its compact length suits installations where space restrictions prevent using longer housing variants. The assembly stores minimal internal energy, aligning with intrinsic safety requirements for hazardous zone deployment. Users can pair this housing with 3300 XL Proximitors and 3500 Monitoring Systems for comprehensive vibration protection.

Installation Procedures and Service Guidelines

Installing this housing assembly requires drilling a 22.5 mm mounting hole and securing the body with the supplied hardware and gasket. The jam nut enables precise gap adjustment using a standard wrench without special tooling requirements. Periodic checks of the gasket condition and bolt torque will preserve the IP68 seal over extended operation. This housing requires no scheduled maintenance beyond visual inspections for physical damage. The compact design and corrosion-resistant materials ensure reliable service in aggressive industrial environments.
