Quick Detail

Description

The 21000-16-05-00-096-00-02 Proximity Probe Housing Assembly is designed for industrial automation systems requiring precise vibration and shaft position monitoring. It accommodates a 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Probe with a 0.5 m (20 in) cable and features a 9.6 in probe penetration for deep bearing access. Constructed with a robust aluminum body and 304 stainless steel sleeve, this assembly withstands harsh industrial environments while ensuring accurate probe positioning. The housing supports threaded 3/4-14 NPT mounting and offers optional standoff adapters, O-rings, dome covers, and conduit fittings for secure installation. Rated as a CSA Type 4 explosion-proof enclosure, it meets API 670 standards for externally mounted proximity probe housings and is suitable for intrinsically safe applications. The sleeve length is configurable to accommodate installation locations, and longer sleeves are supported by optional vibration-reducing sleeve supports (Bently Nevada P/N 37948-01). This assembly ensures reliable proximity probe performance, optimized signal integrity, and durability for automated condition monitoring in critical machinery.

Applications

1. Turbomachinery Monitoring
The 21000 Proximity Probe Housing Assembly is ideal for monitoring turbine shaft vibration in steam and gas turbines. With a probe penetration of 9.6 in, it enables accurate measurement of shaft displacement under high-speed rotation, reducing the risk of unplanned shutdowns.

2. Compressor and Pump Shaft Position Detection
Used in centrifugal compressors and pumps, the aluminum and stainless steel housing provides stable support for 3300 XL 8mm probes, allowing precise shaft position tracking. This ensures machinery operates within safe vibration limits and maintains consistent throughput.

3. Industrial Gearbox Health Assessment
The assembly enables vibration analysis in heavy-duty industrial gearboxes. Its robust construction resists harsh lubrication and high-temperature environments, ensuring continuous monitoring and early fault detection to prevent costly failures.

4. Extruder and Motor Vibration Monitoring
For plastic extruders, motors, and rotating machinery, this housing provides secure probe mounting in compact spaces. The CSA-approved enclosure protects the probe in explosive atmospheres while delivering accurate vibration data for predictive maintenance systems.

5. Oil and Gas Rotating Equipment Surveillance
In oil refineries and petrochemical plants, the 21000 housing allows installation of proximity probes in hazardous zones. It is compliant with intrinsically safe standards, enabling real-time monitoring of pump and compressor shafts under extreme temperature ranges without compromising safety.
