Features:
- High-Temperature 3300 XL Probe Integration
- Direct, Vibration-Resistant Mounting
- Compact Aluminum Construction for Non-Hazardous Areas
The Bently Nevada 21000-16-05-00-033-04-02 comes pre-configured with a 3300 XL 8mm reverse mount probe, renowned for its exceptional stability and linearity over a wide temperature range. This ensures accurate, drift-free measurements even when monitoring bearings running at high temperatures, providing reliable data for both protection and predictive maintenance systems.
Featuring a 3/4-14 NPT mounting thread and a zero-length standoff adapter, this housing mounts directly and rigidly to the machine casing. This design minimizes mechanical play and reduces the risk of vibration-induced measurement errors, ensuring high-frequency signals are captured faithfully without attenuation or phase shift.
Built with a lightweight yet rugged aluminum body and stainless steel sleeve, this assembly is ideal for general-purpose industrial environments where explosion-proof certification is not required. Its corrosion-resistant construction and API 670 compliance make it a cost-effective, reliable choice for continuous monitoring on compressors, turbines, pumps, and fans.
The 21000-16-05-00-033-04-02 Bently Nevada proximity probe housing assemblies may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

- No Onboard Firmware: The Bently Nevada 21000-16-05-00-033-04-02 is a purely passive mechanical assembly. It contains no electronics, memory, or firmware. Therefore, it never requires firmware updates, patching, or configuration via software.
- System-Level Updates Apply to Monitoring Rack: Although the housing itself has no firmware, the overall monitoring performance can be enhanced by updating the firmware in the connected Bently Nevada monitoring system (e.g., a 3500 rack) or the proximitor’s signal conditioning algorithms.
- Probe Calibration Remains Stable: The 3300 XL probe’s sensitivity and linearity are factory-calibrated and fixed. No field updates or recalibration are needed under normal conditions, simplifying long-term maintenance and reliability.
- Obsolescence Management: As a mechanical housing with a proven probe technology, this assembly is field-replaceable and backward-compatible. Future updates from Bently Nevada would involve new probe or housing versions (e.g., 3300 XL vs. 3300 NSv), not firmware patches, ensuring a stable supply chain for critical spares.
- Direct Conduit Connection: The 3/4-14 NPT fitting option (E:04) with a single plug provides a simple, sealed entry point for rigid or flexible metallic conduit, protecting the probe cable from mechanical damage and oil contamination.
- Standard Coaxial Extension Interface: The 3300 XL 8mm probe terminates in a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector, allowing it to connect seamlessly to standard Bently Nevada extension cables (such as 3300 XL 8mm extension cables) and then to a proximitor.
- Passive Analog Signal Chain: This housing contains no active electronics; it mechanically positions the probe. The resulting eddy current signal is a high-frequency analog voltage change (gap voltage), which is transmitted via coaxial cable to a remotely mounted proximitor for demodulation into a DC signal proportional to position.
- API 670 Compliant Mounting: The mechanical interface (mounting thread and housing dimensions) is fully compliant with API 670 requirements for externally mounted proximity probe housings, ensuring interoperability with standard machine case mounting pads and retrofit scenarios.
- Continuous Shaft Vibration Monitoring: Ideal for non-contact radial vibration measurement on high-speed rotating machinery such as centrifugal and axial compressors, helping detect unbalance, misalignment, and bearing wear.
- Axial Thrust Position Measurement: Used on steam and gas turbines to monitor rotor axial displacement, preventing catastrophic thrust bearing failure and rotor-stator rub.
- Shaft Eccentricity & Differential Expansion: Essential during turbine startup and shutdown to measure bowing of the rotor or differential thermal growth between rotor and casing, avoiding costly contact damage.
- General-Purpose Machinery Protection: Cost-effective solution for monitoring pumps, fans, and blowers in non-hazardous industrial environments where performance and API standards are required but explosion-proofing is not.
