Features:
- High-strength thermoplastic with excellent corrosion resistance for harsh environments.
- 1.5" standoff and 5.1" penetration for precise probe positioning.
- Fully compliant with API 670 Standard for externally mounted probe housings.
The 31000-00-00-15-051-01-02 features a housing made of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), an advanced, high-strength thermoplastic with excellent corrosion resistance. This material is ideal for harsh industrial environments where chemical exposure or moisture could damage standard metal housings. The PPS construction provides reliable mechanical and environmental protection for the proximity probe while maintaining a lightweight profile. All other elements of the 31000-00-00-15-051-01-02 are made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel, ensuring long-term durability in demanding applications such as refineries, chemical plants, and offshore installations.
The 31000-00-00-15-051-01-02 provides precision adjustable mounting with a 1.5-inch standoff adapter (option C:15) and a 5.1-inch probe penetration (option D:051). The standoff adapter positions the housing at the optimal distance from the machine case, while the probe penetration determines how far the probe extends toward the target surface. The "C" plus "D" dimension of 6.6 inches is well below the 12-inch threshold, so no additional sleeve support is required. The 31000-00-00-15-051-01-02 features a 3/4-14 NPT mounting thread (option F:02) and one 3/4-14 NPT fitting with two plugs (option E:01).
The 31000-00-00-15-051-01-02 is fully compliant with API 670 Standard for externally mounted proximity probe housings, ensuring it meets industry requirements for mechanical configuration, accuracy, and reliability. The 31000-00-00-15-051-01-02 can be used in intrinsically safe hazardous area applications when installed with an approved transducer system and appropriate I.S. barriers. The 31000-00-00-15-051-01-02 is not an explosion-proof housing; for explosion-proof applications, use CA21000 or CA24701 housings. The 31000-00-00-15-051-01-02 is ideal for radial vibration and Keyphasor measurements on rotating machinery.
The 31000-00-00-15-051-01-02 Bently Nevada PPS Probe Housing may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond
End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Large-Scale Power Generation: Installed on massive utility steam turbines, nuclear power generator bearings, and high-capacity gas turbines (e.g., GE Frame 7/9 or Siemens F/H-class).
- Heavy Machinery Mud & Slurry Pumps: Used in mining and oil drilling operations where bearing blocks are heavily reinforced and thick.
- Extruders & Large Industrial Gearboxes: Applied in polymer processing, steel mills, and paper mills where shafts are deeply recessed behind heavy structural casings.
- Cryogenic & Insulated Expanders: Used in LNG liquefaction plants where thick thermal insulation blankets or jackets surround the machinery, requiring a longer housing to bridge the gap from the outside atmosphere to the actual bearing shell.
- Modbus RTU / Modbus TCP: For direct registers transmission to plant Distributed Control Systems (DCS) and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC).
- Ethernet / DeltaV / Profinet: For seamless integration into automated control networks.
- System 1 Connectivity: Feeds high-speed digital wave data into Bently Nevada’s System 1 Asset Management Software via specialized transient data interface modules for advanced predictive diagnostics.
- European & International (ATEX / IECEx): Ex d IIC (Flameproof for hydrogen and hydrocarbon gas environments, Zone 1 and Zone 2).
- Ingress Protection (IP66 / NEMA 4X): Certified to be completely dust-tight and capable of resisting heavy high-pressure water jets and continuous moisture ingress, protecting internal coaxial connections from corrosion or short-circuiting.
- Functional Safety (SIL Compliance): When used as part of a complete Bently Nevada loop (Probe + Proximitor + 3500 Monitor), this assembly complies with IEC 61508 standards up to SIL 2 (Safety Integrity Level), allowing it to be used in formal Emergency Shutdown (ESD) or Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS).
