Features:
- PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) thermoplastic housing with stainless steel components provides excellent corrosion resistance for harsh industrial environments, replacing traditional steel and aluminum housings.
- 1.5-inch standoff adapter with 6.3-inch probe penetration enables deep mounting through thick machine casings while maintaining external access for probe adjustment and replacement.
- API 670 compliant for externally mounted proximity probe housings, ensuring acceptance in petroleum industry applications such as refineries, pipelines, and offshore platforms.
The 31000-16-10-15-063-03-02 is molded from PPS, an advanced thermoplastic that replaces steel and aluminum. Unlike metal housings that rust or corrode in chemical plants and offshore environments, PPS stands up to salt spray, humidity, and aggressive process chemicals. The stainless steel fittings and hardware add durability where it matters most—threaded connections and mounting points. For facilities tired of replacing corroded housings, this PPS assembly delivers long-term reliability.
With 1.5-inch standoff and 6.3-inch probe penetration, the 31000-16-10-15-063-03-02 reaches through thick turbine casings and insulation layers. The through-case design allows gap adjustment and probe replacement without opening the machine—a significant maintenance advantage. When a probe fails or needs re-gapping, technicians access it from outside the casing. No downtime for machine disassembly, no risk of contamination during repairs.
Refineries, pipelines, and offshore platforms demand API 670 compliance for externally mounted probe housings. The 31000-16-10-15-063-03-02 meets this standard, ensuring acceptance in petroleum industry specifications. Use it on compressors, pumps, and turbines in classified areas. The combination of corrosion-resistant materials, deep mounting capability, and API compliance makes this housing a preferred choice for critical oil and gas installations.
The 31000-16-10-15-063-03-02 Bently Nevada Metric Proximity Probe Housing Assemblies may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond
End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Radial Vibration and Displacement Monitoring: Mounted on the bearing housing or casing to measure the relative vibration between the shaft and the bearing.
- Speed and Phase Reference: Serves as a support for a keyphasor probe, mounted on the keyway or protrusion of the shaft.
- Typical Industries: Widely used in power generation (steam turbines/generators), oil and gas (compressors/pumps), and heavy industries such as steel and chemicals.
- Operating Temperature: The main body of the protective housing typically supports temperatures from -51°C to +105°C; the internal 3300 XL probe can withstand even higher temperatures, up to +177°C.
- Material Properties: The protective housing is made of glass fiber reinforced polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and the sleeve is made of 304 stainless steel, offering excellent corrosion resistance.
- Environmental Protection: The housing's sealing rating meets NEMA 4X and IP66 standards, preventing water spray ingress and making it suitable for humid and dusty environments.
- External Adjustment and Maintenance: The biggest advantage of using a protective box for installation is that the probe gap can be adjusted or the probe replaced externally without disassembling the machine, greatly reducing downtime for maintenance.
- Signal Transmission: The dynamic eddy current signal captured by the probe is transmitted via cable to the Proximitor preamplifier, and then enters monitoring systems such as the Bently Nevada 3500 or Orbit 60.
- Data Analysis: With System 1 software, the monitoring system can analyze the machine's operating trends, spectrum, and waveforms to achieve accurate fault early warning.
