Features:
- Provides External Access To 3300 XL NSv Probes For Quick Gap Adjustment And Replacement
- Constructed With Corrosion-Resistant PPS And Stainless Steel Materials For Long-Term Durability
- Fully Compliant With API 670 Standards And Certified Type 4X By CSA For Harsh Industrial Environments
The Bently Nevada 31000-31-05-20-080-00-02 Proximity Probe Housing is engineered to simplify maintenance of rotating equipment by allowing operators to access 3300 XL NSv probes and extension cables externally. With a 0.5 m (20 in) probe cable and options for standoff adapter (2.0 in) and probe penetration (8.0 in), this housing enables gap adjustments or probe replacement without dismantling the machine, reducing downtime and improving operational efficiency.
Made from high-strength polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) and corrosion-resistant stainless steel, including AISI 304 for the sleeve and retaining chain and AISI 303 for the outer sleeve and screws, the 31000-31-05-20-080-00-02 combines mechanical reliability with chemical resistance. The neoprene O-ring and optional fittings further enhance environmental protection, achieving a Type 4X rating certified by CSA.
The Bently Nevada 31000-31-05-20-080-00-02 is suitable for use in both standard and intrinsically safe hazardous areas when installed with approved transducer systems and intrinsic safety barriers. Fully compliant with API 670, it provides a robust and flexible solution for turbines, compressors, and other critical machinery, ensuring precise monitoring and ease of maintenance compared with traditional probe housings.
The 31000-31-05-20-080-00-02 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).

- External Probe Mounting: Primarily used in scenarios where direct probe mounting inside the machine is not feasible. The housing is fixed externally to the machine casing, and the probe extends into the machine via a stainless steel sleeve.
- Online Maintenance: Allows technicians to adjust or replace the probe gap while the machine is running (without downtime), significantly reducing downtime maintenance costs.
- Typical Equipment: Commonly used for axial displacement and radial vibration monitoring in large centrifugal compressors, steam turbines, and large pump sets.
- Mechanical Adjustment: This component features a purely mechanical protective structure and does not involve electronic programming. Configuration focuses on setting the mechanical gap. The gap between the probe and the shaft is fine-tuned by rotating the probe sleeve.
- Gap Calibration: When used with the 3500 monitoring system or preamplifier, ensure the static voltage (typically around -10V DC) is within the center of the linear range.
- Matching Requirements: The 3300 XL 11 mm probe inside the housing must be matched with the total length of the accompanying extension cable and proximitor (typically 5 or 9 meters).
- Protection Rating: The housing meets IP66 standards, effectively preventing dust intrusion and withstanding strong water jet impact.
- Corrosion Resistance: Meets NEMA 4X standards. Its housing material is highly resistant to most lubricants, fuels, and corrosive chemicals.
- Temperature Range: Housing Body: -51°C to +105°C (-60°F to +221°F). Internal Probe: The probe section (11 mm type) can withstand temperatures up to +177°C (+350°F).
- Shock Resistance: The glass fiber-filled PPS material passes a 7 Joule energy impact test (compliant with CENELEC standards).
