Bently Nevada 21000-16-10-00-052-03-02

Product Overview This compact configuration features a 5.2 inch penetration depth without a standoff adapter, designed for installations with relatively thin machine casings or where the target shaft is close to the external mounting surface. The 1.0 meter probe cable provides ample routing length for connecting to the monitoring system. This assembly is ideal for smaller turbomachinery, pumps, and motors where excessive penetration depth is unnecessary and space constraints favor a more compact installation.

  • Standard dome cover
  • 3/4-14 NPT mounting thread

Working Principle The short sleeve positions the probe tip at a shallow depth within the machine casing. The reverse mount probe faces the shaft from the interior of the housing, with the 5.2 inch sleeve providing the necessary reach for thin-wall applications. The probe generates an eddy-current field that interacts with the shaft surface, producing a voltage signal proportional to the gap distance.

Installation Requirements

  • Mount in 3/4-14 NPT threaded hole
  • Verify 5.2 inch internal clearance
  • Route 1.0 meter cable through conduit
  • Adjust gap to -10 Vdc
  • Ensure mounting surface is flat

Usage Precautions

  • Short penetration means less internal clearance required
  • Verify no internal obstructions within 5.2 inches of mounting surface
  • Counterbore machine case if penetration is between 1.0 and 2.0 inches to reduce side view effects
  • Standard sleeve support not required for this length
