Product Description
The Bently Nevada 21000-16-05-15-098-03-02 is a 16 mm Proximity Probe from the 3300 Series transducer system, engineered for non-contact vibration and shaft position measurement in critical machinery. Compared to standard 8 mm probes, the 16 mm design provides a larger linear range, making it ideal for large turbines, compressors, and industrial motors where significant shaft displacement is expected. This probe is intended for installation in external probe housings (e.g., Bently Nevada 21000 or 14223 series), allowing easy adjustment and replacement without disassembling machinery.

Application Scenarios
This probe is commonly used in:
-
Steam turbines, large centrifugal compressors, and industrial motors
-
Power plants and refineries for shaft vibration and axial position monitoring
-
Situations requiring wider sensing fields, such as thick casings or large air gaps
-
Systems where the probe must be housed in an external assembly for environmental protection and ease of adjustment
Technical FAQ
Q: Why choose a 16 mm probe over an 8 mm probe?
A: The 16 mm probe offers a larger linear range (typically up to 4.0 mm or 160 mils), roughly double that of standard 8 mm probes, which is critical for machines with high expected shaft movement.
Q: What is meant by the "Housing Assembly" configuration?
A: This probe is designed for use with external housings (Bently Nevada 21000 or 14223 series), which protect the sensor from environmental contaminants, allow easy gap adjustments, and enable replacement without disassembling the machinery.
Q: Is this probe suitable for hazardous environments?
A: Yes, it is approved under CSA, ATEX, and IECEx standards, making it appropriate for use in oil & gas, petrochemical, and other classified areas.
