TenBN, a supplier of Bently Nevada condition monitoring products and technical services, announces that the Bently Nevada 31000-16-05-00-035-02-02 proximity probe housing assembly is now in stock and ready to ship. This assembly is a frequent requirement for plants maintaining 3300 XL 8 mm proximity systems, and ready inventory helps shorten outage schedules where protected probe installations are involved.
The 31000-16-05-00-035-02-02 combines a 3300 XL 8 mm probe with connector (Probe Option 16) and a 0.5 m (20 in) probe cable inside a housing moulded from glass-reinforced polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) thermoplastic containing conductive fibers. The sleeve and retaining chain are AISI 304 stainless steel, and the outer sleeve and exterior screws are AISI 303 stainless steel. Its ordering string defines a 3.5 inch probe penetration, two 3/4-14 NPT fittings with one plug, and a 3/4-14 NPT mounting thread.
Protection is a defining feature of the 31000 series. The housing carries a CSA Type 4X rating and an IP66 rating verified by SC115582-1 (e) 106, making it suitable for wash-down environments where hose-directed water is present, and it meets the CENELEC EN50014 standard for electrostatic dissipation of plastic materials in hazardous areas. Impact strength is certified by BASEEFA for two separate 4 Joule impacts at both -39°C and +115°C, and the assembly operates from -51°C to +105°C (-60°F to +221°F).
Housing assemblies like this one protect the probe as it passes through the machine casing on turbines, compressors, and pumps, sealing differential pressure between probe tip and housing through Viton and Neoprene O-rings. Because each option digit — probe type, cable length, standoff adapter, penetration, fittings, and mounting thread — changes the mechanical fit, TenBN recommends verifying the complete part number against the machine drawing before ordering.
The 31000-16-05-00-035-02-02 is available now from TenBN, with the official service manual available on the product page. For pricing, bulk quantities, and current lead time, contact [email protected] for a formal quotation.
