31000-00-00-15-023-01-02 Bently Nevada Proximity Probe Housing Assemblies
The Bently Nevada 31000-00-00-15-023-01-02 housing assembly features a specialized 2.3-inch penetration sleeve and an API 670-compliant, chemical-resistant PPS dome engineered specifically for ultra-low clearance or thin-walled machinery casings. It eliminates the costly operational pain point of unexpected plant shutdowns by allowing maintenance technicians to safely adjust sensor gaps or hot-swap proximity probes externally while the machine is fully online. This ultra-compact configuration is the ideal choice for high-speed gearboxes, small process pumps, and shallow bearing housings where avoiding internal physical contact with rotating shafts or oil deflectors is absolutely critical.
Project Case Study
Deployment Site: Chemical Processing Plant (Deployed: 2025)
Application: Radial vibration tracking on small, high-rpm hazardous chemical transfer pumps.
Operational Environment: High ambient temperatures, persistent corrosive acid vapor washdowns, and continuous high-frequency vibrations.
Performance Update (2026): Operates flawlessly with zero signal drift. The rugged PPS protective dome completely isolates the internal probe linkage from ambient acid vapor, completely eliminating moisture-related signal faults and saving thousands in avoided repair downtime.
Custom Product FAQ
Q: Why would I choose the 023 sleeve length over the longer 035 or 039 options?
A: The 023 suffix indicates a shallow 2.3-inch penetration depth. You must select this model when your machinery has highly restricted internal clearance between the outer casing skin and the internal rotating shaft, where a longer sleeve would physically hit internal moving parts.
Q: Can this housing be used in explosion-proof environments?
A: No, the 31000 series designates a non-explosion-proof assembly. If your project site mandates explosive gas compliance (such as ATEX/IECEx Zone 1 or Class I Div 1), you must select the Bently Nevada 32000 series explosion-proof housing assemblies instead.
Q: Does this housing allow me to swap out a faulty probe while the machine is running?
A: Yes. The primary benefit of this assembly is online hot-swapping. Maintenance personnel can safely loosen the external seal and fine-tune the sensor's gap voltage--or completely replace a failed probe--while the machine remains fully operational, avoiding costly plant downtime.

Global Distribution Network
Amikon supplies industrial automation parts to more than 150 countries, covering a wide mix of regions.
The Americas
Especially the USA and Canada, still rely quite a lot on replacement parts. Many sites there are older facilities like refineries or chemical plants.
Europe
Similar to the Americas, with countries such as Germany, UK, France and Italy. A lot of work there is about keeping existing systems running rather than new installations.
Asia-Pacific
Includes China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Australia. Industries there range from semiconductors to shipbuilding and mining, depending on the country.
Middle East and Africa
Like UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and South Africa, are more focused on energy-related operations, mainly oil, gas and power sectors.
