Bently Nevada 31000-16-10-15-040-03-02 8 mm Probe Housing with Standoff
A 31000 housing assembly with a 1.5-inch standoff and 4.0-inch probe penetration for a 3300 XL 8 mm probe.
Product Overview
31000-16-10-15-040-03-02 selects the 3300 XL 8 mm probe for a 31000 housing and a 1.0 m probe cable. Unlike no-standoff executions, code 15 adds a 1.5-inch standoff adapter.
Penetration code 040 defines a 4.0-inch reach. Fitting package 03 provides the specified plugs, reducer and cable seal grip, while mounting code 02 retains the 3/4-14 NPT thread.
The standoff and penetration fields must be treated independently. Both affect the mechanical stack-up and must match the installed machine drawing.
Performance
Remote mechanical offset
Uses the 1.5-inch standoff to position the housing relative to the machine mounting point.
Probe reach control
Maintains the specified 4.0-inch penetration for target access.
External adjustment access
Allows the 8 mm probe to be serviced from outside the bearing housing.
Sealed termination
Protects the cable entry within the Type 4X / IP66 housing architecture.

About IndustryParts
https://www.industryparts.com/Standoff and penetration are verified separately
IndustryParts records both mechanical dimensions, the probe cable code and fitting package so a similar 31000 housing does not enter the wrong machine position.
System Integration
Measure the full stack-up
Verify mounting face, 1.5-inch standoff and 4.0-inch penetration against the approved drawing.
Assemble the cable fittings
Install the selected reducer, plug and seal grip so the enclosure rating is not compromised.
Establish probe position
Set the operating gap, secure the retaining hardware and validate the connected monitoring channel.
Applications
Offset mounting arrangements
Providing additional housing stand-off where machine geometry requires it.
Deep probe access
Reaching the target with the specified 4.0-inch penetration.
Externally serviceable monitoring
Supporting proximity measurement without repeated bearing-housing entry.
FAQ
What distinguishes 31000-16-10-15-040-03-02 from the 033 no-standoff housing?
This configuration uses a 1.5-inch standoff, 4.0-inch penetration and 1.0 m probe cable.
Does 15 identify probe penetration on 31000-16-10-15-040-03-02?
No. Code 15 is the 1.5-inch standoff; code 040 sets the 4.0-inch penetration.
Which probe family is selected in 31000-16-10-15-040-03-02?
Code 16 specifies the 3300 XL 8 mm probe.
Is the 31000-16-10-15-040-03-02 housing explosion-proof?
No. The manufacturer states that the housing itself is not explosion-proof.
Which final checks belong to 31000-16-10-15-040-03-02?
Verify dimensional stack-up, thread engagement, cable sealing, probe gap and monitor response.
