Quick Detail

Description

The 31000-16-10-00-162-00-02 Proximity Probe Housing Assembly is a high-performance industrial mounting solution designed for accurate installation of proximity probes and Keyphasor transducers within automated condition monitoring systems. Engineered for radial mounting through machine casings, the 31000-16-10-00-162-00-02 Proximity Probe Housing Assembly ensures reliable support for vibration, speed, and phase reference measurements used in turbomachinery diagnostics and predictive maintenance applications. Manufactured from glass-reinforced PPS thermoplastic with conductive fibers and stainless-steel sleeve components, the housing provides mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term stability in petrochemical, refining, and power generation plants. With CSA Type 4X environmental protection, API 670 compliance, and compatibility with 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probes, the assembly allows external access for cable handling, gap adjustment, and probe replacement without equipment teardown. This design enables greater operational efficiency within industrial automation environments where real-time vibration analytics and continuous monitoring enhance asset health and system uptime.

Applications

Application 1: Turbomachinery Radial Vibration Sensing
Used for mounting 3300 XL 8 mm probes to measure radial vibration on compressors and turbines, supporting API 670-aligned vibration monitoring frameworks for asset performance optimization.

Application 2: Keyphasor Speed and Shaft Phase Measurement
Suitable for speed and phase reference transducers used in balancing and diagnosing rotating machinery, particularly within refinery and petrochemical rotating equipment lines.

Application 3: Intrinsically Safe Hazard Zones
When combined with approved I.S. barriers, the assembly supports deployment in hazardous locations common to gas compression, oil processing, and chemical manufacturing operations.

Application 4: Outdoor Corrosive Facility Environments
CSA Type 4X protection, stainless-steel components, and PPS corrosion resistance allow installation near cooling towers, airborne saltwater conditions, or corrosive process lines.

Application 5: Maintenance-Optimized Monitoring Architecture
External access to probe and extension cable enables non-intrusive service actions such as cable replacement, gap readjustment, and troubleshooting without disassembling critical machine sections.

Specifications

Competitive Advantage

Advantage 1: API 670 Compliance for System Interchangeability
Ensures compatibility and standardized installation in high-reliability rotating equipment, reducing specification risk across OEMs and integrators.

Advantage 2: PPS Thermoplastic Strength & Corrosion Resistance
Glass-reinforced PPS construction provides superior chemical resistance and dimensional stability compared to metals or low-grade polymers in industrial automation environments.

Advantage 3: Certified Impact and Temperature Durability
BASEEFA impact certification (two 4-J impacts at −39°C and 115°C) supports deployment in extreme climates and mechanical shock environments found in high-power rotating assets.

Advantage 4: Reduced Downtime Through External Accessibility
Non-intrusive servicing reduces outage time for critical machinery and lowers lifecycle cost for predictive maintenance operations and vibration monitoring systems.

Advantage 5: Flexible Probe Integration Capability
Compatible with 3300 XL 8 mm probe systems, 3/4-14 NPT mounting options, and no-fittings configuration, supporting both OEM production integration and retrofit field installations.
