Bently Nevada 31000-30-05-15-031-01-02 Proximity Probe Housing Assembly

The Bently Nevada 31000-30-05-15-031-01-02 is a proximity probe housing assembly designed to provide mechanical protection, cable routing, and environmental sealing for proximity probe installations. Used with compatible Bently Nevada proximity transducer systems, the assembly supports proper mounting of 3300 XL 8 mm probes while protecting probe connections in rotating machinery monitoring applications.

Assembly Configuration

The model code defines the probe compatibility, cable arrangement, extension adapter dimensions, and installation geometry of the housing assembly.

• Probe Option 30: Compatible with 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probes with connector protector

• Cable Length Option 05: 0.5 m (20 in) probe cable length

• Extension Adapter Option 15: 1.5 in (38 mm) extension adapter

• Probe Penetration Option 031: Specified probe penetration depth configuration

• Approval and configuration suffixes: 01-02

The housing assembly is intended to simplify installation while providing mechanical support for the probe and associated cable routing.

Probe Protection and Installation

A proximity probe housing assembly serves as the interface between the machine casing and the installed proximity probe. It provides a protected enclosure for probe connectors and extension hardware while helping maintain a consistent installation arrangement.

The assembly is commonly used where probe access, environmental protection, or maintenance accessibility are important considerations within machinery monitoring systems.

Compatible Probe Arrangement

This configuration is specified for use with 3300 XL 8 mm probes equipped with a connector protector. The housing assembly accommodates the probe connection area and associated cable section while supporting a defined probe penetration depth.

Correct matching of probe type, adapter length, and penetration depth is important when replacing an existing assembly to maintain the original mechanical installation geometry.

Materials and Construction

The provided information indicates the use of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) within the assembly configuration. PPS is an engineering thermoplastic known for its dimensional stability, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength in industrial environments.

Material selection in probe system components supports long-term operation in machinery monitoring installations where exposure to oils, contaminants, and temperature variations may occur.

Technical Specifications

Application Considerations

The housing assembly is used as part of a complete proximity transducer installation and does not function as a sensing element by itself. Measurement performance depends on the installed probe, extension cable, and associated proximity monitoring system.

When ordering a replacement assembly, users should verify probe compatibility, cable length, adapter dimensions, and probe penetration configuration against the installed equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the 31000-30-05-15-031-01-02 include the proximity probe itself?

A: This model is a proximity probe housing assembly. The assembly provides mounting and protection functions for compatible proximity probes, but the probe configuration should be verified separately during system selection.

Q: Which probe type is this housing assembly designed for?

A: According to the supplied configuration information, option 30 is intended for use with 3300 XL 8 mm probes equipped with a connector protector.

Q: What does the "-15" option represent?

A: The "-15" option specifies a 1.5 in (38 mm) extension adapter length used within the housing assembly configuration.
