31000-16-10-15-030-03-02 | Bently Nevada | 31000 Proximity Probe Housing
Technical Overview
The Bently Nevada 31000-16-10-15-030-03-02 is a specialized proximity probe housing designed to physically protect a proximity probe and its integral cable within harsh industrial environments. Its primary function is to provide a secure, environmentally sealed mounting point on rotating machinery for acquiring critical vibration and position data. The housing is constructed from 304 Stainless Steel, offering robust protection against physical impact and corrosion. This specific configuration, 31000-16-10-15-030-03-02, features a 3/4-14 NPT external mounting thread for direct installation into a machine case. Internally, it accommodates a Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm or 3300 5 mm probe, which is positioned by a 1.0-inch stinger (probe sleeve). The housing facilitates the signal path from the probe tip to the Bently Nevada 3500 Monitoring System. The probe, connected via an extension cable to a Proximitor Sensor, generates a high-frequency RF signal. The resulting eddy current field is used to measure the distance to the observed conductive target. The Proximitor Sensor conditions this signal into a calibrated DC voltage proportional to the gap, which is then transmitted to a 3500/42M Proximitor/Seismic Monitor module for analysis, alarming, and machinery protection.

Technical FAQ
Q: What systems is the 21000-34-10-20-058-04-02 compatible with?
A: The 21000-34-10-20-058-04-02 contains a 3300 XL 8 mm probe. This probe is a component of a complete transducer system that must also include a 3300 XL extension cable and a 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor. The complete transducer system is directly compatible with Bently Nevada monitoring systems, including the 3500 Series, 3300 Series, and the Orbit 60 Series. It provides a standard analog voltage signal (typically 2 to 18 Vdc or -2 to -18 Vdc) to the monitor's input module for processing.
Q: What are the installation requirements?
A: Installation requires a machined mounting boss on the machine case with a 3/4 - 14 NPT tapped hole. The surface of the boss must be perpendicular to the shaft centerline to ensure accurate measurement. Use an appropriate thread sealant (e.g., PTFE tape or liquid sealant rated for the process temperature and fluid) on the NPT threads to create a secure seal and prevent loosening. The assembly should be tightened to the specified torque value. After mechanical installation, the probe gap must be set by adjusting the probe within the housing to achieve the desired DC voltage, typically the center of its linear range (e.g., -10 Vdc for a standard 80 mil / 2 mm range), before locking it in place.
21504-00-32-10-02 | Bently Nevada | Vibration Probe
Technical Overview
The Bently Nevada 21504-00-32-10-02 is a 3300 NSv series proximity vibration probe, a fundamental component of an eddy current transducer system designed for non-contact displacement and vibration measurement on rotating machinery. Its primary function is to measure the distance (gap) between the probe tip and a conductive target material, typically a machine shaft. The probe operates by generating a high-frequency radio frequency (RF) field from its tip coil. When brought near the conductive target, this field induces eddy currents on the target's surface. These eddy currents alter the impedance of the probe's coil system. This change in impedance is detected by an associated Proximitor Sensor, which demodulates the signal into a voltage directly proportional to the probe-to-target gap. This analog voltage signal is then transmitted to a monitoring system, such as the Bently Nevada 3500 Machinery Protection System, for real-time analysis, trending, and alarming. The 21504-00-32-10-02 is constructed with a stainless steel case for durability in industrial environments and is specifically configured with a 320 mm case length and a 1.0-meter integral cable.

Technical FAQ
Q: What systems is the 21504-00-32-10-02 compatible with?
A: The 21504-00-32-10-02 probe is a component of the Bently Nevada 3300 NSv Proximity Transducer System. For correct operation, it must be used in conjunction with a 3300 NSv extension cable and a 3300 NSv Proximitor Sensor.

Q: What are the installation requirements?
A: Proper installation is critical for measurement accuracy. The probe must be mounted perpendicular to the target surface using a rigid bracket. The physical gap should be set to place the DC output voltage in the middle of the system's linear range, typically -10 Vdc. The target area on the shaft must be at least 10.7 mm (0.42 in) in diameter, smooth (0.4 to 0.8 µm / 16 to 32 µin rms), and free of any electrical or magnetic irregularities (e.g., chrome plating, magnetised spots). Cable routing must avoid high-voltage power lines and other sources of electromagnetic interference. All ClickLoc connectors must be fully engaged to ensure a secure connection.
330192-00-28-05-00 | Bently Nevada | 3300 XL 8 mm ETR Proximity Probes
Technical Overview
The Bently Nevada 330192-00-28-05-00 is an 8 mm Extended Temperature Range (ETR) proximity probe component of the 3300 XL Proximity Transducer System. Its primary function is to perform non-contact measurement of relative displacement on rotating and reciprocating machinery. The probe operates on an eddy current principle. When paired with a 3300 XL extension cable and Proximitor Sensor, it forms a tuned oscillator circuit that emits a high-frequency radio frequency (RF) field from the probe tip. This field induces eddy currents on the surface of the observed conductive target, typically a machine shaft. The interaction between the RF field and the eddy currents results in a change in the oscillator's amplitude, which is directly proportional to the gap between the probe tip and the target. The Proximitor Sensor demodulates this RF signal into a precise DC voltage. This voltage signal is then transmitted to a monitoring system, such as the Bently Nevada 3500 Series, where it is processed to provide critical measurements including radial vibration, axial position (thrust), and rotational speed (when used in a Keyphasor configuration). The 330192-00-28-05-00 is constructed with a Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) tip and a stainless steel body, ensuring robust performance in high-temperature industrial environments.

Technical FAQ
Q: What systems is the 16710-33 compatible with?
A: The 16710-33 is specifically designed for use with the Bently Nevada 3500 Machinery Protection System. It is used to connect various 3500 I/O modules, such as the 3500/40M Proximitor Monitor, 3500/42M Proximitor/Seismic Monitor, and 3500/45 Position Monitor, to their corresponding external termination blocks (e.g., 3500/25 Keyphasor I/O, 3500/40 External Termination Block) or internal termination I/O modules. Compatibility is dependent on the specific I/O module and termination type being used in the 3500 rack configuration.
Q: What are the installation requirements?
A: Proper installation is critical for system performance. First, ensure all power to the 3500 rack is de-energized before installation. Securely fasten the D-sub connector of the 16710-33 to the rear of the designated I/O module using the integrated jackscrews. Route the cable through designated cable trays, avoiding sharp bends (maintain a minimum bend radius of 10x the cable diameter), pinch points, and proximity to high-voltage power cables to prevent physical damage and noise induction. Land the pre-stripped conductors of the pigtail end onto the correct terminals of the associated terminal block, following the wiring diagram specific to the monitor and transducer type. Ensure proper strain relief is applied to the cable at both ends. The cable's shield drain wire must be terminated correctly, typically at the rack chassis ground terminal only, to prevent ground loops per Bently Nevada system grounding guidelines.
