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.

330102-00-60-10-01-05 | Bently Nevada | 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probes

Technical Overview

The Bently Nevada 330102-00-60-10-01-05 is an 8 mm reverse-mount eddy current proximity probe designed for non-contact measurement of vibration and displacement. It functions as a core component of the 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System, which also includes an extension cable and a Proximitor Sensor. The probe operates by having the Proximitor Sensor generate a high-frequency radio frequency (RF) signal, which is transmitted through the extension cable and radiated from the probe's tip into a small electromagnetic field. When a conductive target, such as a machine shaft, enters this field, eddy currents are induced on its surface. These currents create a secondary magnetic field that opposes the primary field, causing a measurable change in the RF signal's amplitude. This change is directly proportional to the gap between the probe tip and the target surface. The Proximitor Sensor demodulates this signal, converting it into a DC voltage that accurately represents the physical distance. This conditioned voltage signal is then transmitted to a monitoring system, such as the Bently Nevada 3500, for real-time analysis of radial vibration, axial position, and shaft speed.

Technical FAQ

Q: What systems is the 330102-00-60-10-01-05 compatible with?
A: The 330102-00-60-10-01-05 probe is a component of the 3300 XL 8 mm Transducer System. For proper operation, it must be used with a 3300 XL extension cable and a 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor (e.g., part number 330180). This complete transducer system is fully compatible with Bently Nevada monitoring systems, including the 3500 Series Machinery Protection System and ADRE Sxp/408 DSPi data acquisition systems. It is not electrically or mechanically compatible with components from other transducer series, such as the 7200 or 3000 series.

Q: What are the installation requirements?
A: As a reverse-mount probe, the 330102-00-60-10-01-05 is installed from inside the machine housing, with the probe body extending outward. A clearance hole must be drilled through the machine case to accommodate the 8 mm probe tip. The target area on the observed shaft must be smooth, free of surface defects, and have a minimum diameter of 10.7 mm (0.42 in) to ensure measurement accuracy. The probe's gap should be set to the center of its linear range, typically corresponding to -10.0 Vdc. The ClickLoc connector must be tightened to the specified torque to ensure a secure, environmentally sealed connection. Cable routing must avoid areas of extreme heat, physical abrasion, and proximity to high-voltage power lines to maintain signal integrity.

Technical FAQ

Q: What systems is the 31000-16-05-00-100-03-02 compatible with?
A: The 31000-16-05-00-100-03-02 is an integral component of the Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximity Transducer System. This system, which includes the probe, extension cable, and a 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor, is designed for direct interface with the Bently Nevada 3500 Machinery Protection System. It is also fully compatible with the legacy 3300 monitoring system. The analog voltage output from the associated Proximitor Sensor can also be integrated with other third-party PLCs, DCS, and data acquisition systems capable of processing a -2 to -18 Vdc signal.

Q: What are the installation requirements?
A: Proper installation is critical for accurate measurement. The machine case requires a mounting hole drilled and tapped for a 3/4-14 NPT thread. An appropriate thread sealant must be applied to the housing's male NPT threads to ensure a pressure-tight seal. The housing is then threaded into the machine case and tightened. The proximity probe is inserted into the housing and its axial position is adjusted to achieve the correct DC gap voltage, typically -10 Vdc for a standard 3300 XL 8 mm probe configuration. Once the gap is set, the probe is secured within the housing using its set screws. Proper system grounding, as detailed in Bently Nevada documentation, is mandatory for signal integrity.
