31000-16-05-00-068-03-02 Bently Nevada 8mm Proximity Probe Housing

Key Features & Benefits

• Rugged Environmental Tolerance: Certified with a Type 4X and IP66 rating. This housing withstands hose-directed water and corrosive elements. It operates reliably from -51°C to +105°C (-60°F to +221°F).
• Superior Mechanical Strength: The housing withstands 7 Joule impacts at room temperature and extreme cold. An outer sleeve supports over 912 N (205 lb) of static load.
• Hazardous Area Safety: Meets CENELEC EN50014 standards for electrostatic dissipation. Conductive fibers in the PPS plastic prevent static buildup.
• Corrosion-Resistant Materials: Features AISI 304 and 303 stainless steel for the sleeve, retaining chain, and external screws. This ensures long-term durability in harsh settings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What is the difference between the 31000 and a standard probe? The 31000 Proximity Probe Housing is a protective enclosure. It holds a 3300 XL 8 mm probe (like option "16") and provides the environmental sealing and mounting threads.
• Can this housing withstand high external pressure? No. While it has a strong mechanical structure and an IP66 water seal, it is not pressure-tested. It is built to keep liquids out, not to contain internal pressure. Contact our custom design department for pressure tests.
• What cable sizes fit the included grip? The "03" fittings option provides a grip with three interchangeable grommets. They fit cable diameters of 1/8 to 3/16 inches, 1/4 to 5/16 inches, and 5/16 to 3/8 inches.
• Is the 3300 XL probe included with the housing? This specific part number (31000-16-...) includes the probe option "16". It means the housing comes with a 3300 XL 8 mm probe and a 0.5 m integrated cable. It is a complete assembly.
