Applications
This housing assembly is ideal for use in turbines, compressors, pumps, and other rotating equipment where precise shaft vibration and position monitoring are critical. The 21000-16-05-15-084-03-02 provides robust protection for the proximity probe, ensuring consistent performance even in hazardous areas.
Installation & Setup
When installing the Bently Nevada 21000-16-05-15-084-03-02, ensure the mounting thread (3/4-14 NPT) is properly engaged. The standoff adapter (1.5 in) must be correctly positioned to achieve the desired probe penetration (8.4 in). Use the provided cable seal grip with appropriate grommets to maintain a secure, moisture-resistant seal.
Maintenance & Reliability
Regular inspection of the housing and seals is recommended to maintain long-term reliability. The aluminum body with 304 stainless steel sleeve offers excellent corrosion resistance. Periodic checks of the probe cable and connectors help prevent signal degradation.
Compliance & Standards
The 21000 and 24701 housings are CSA approved and rated explosion proof for hazardous areas. They are certified as CSA Type 4 enclosures and fully comply with API 670 Standard for externally mounted proximity probe housings.
