Bently Nevada 32000-16-05-10-078-07-02: The Reliable Probe Housing for Precision Machinery Monitoring
Time: January 12, 2026
In industrial settings where machinery reliability directly impacts productivity and safety, choosing the right proximity probe housing is non-negotiable. Whether you’re monitoring radial vibration or Keyphasor measurements in harsh environments, a durable, compliant, and easy-to-maintain housing can make all the difference. That’s why we’re excited to announce the arrival of the Bently Nevada 32000-16-05-10-078-07-02—an engineered solution designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern industrial machinery.
Crafted with Bently Nevada’s legacy of quality, the 32000-16-05-10-078-07-02 stands out for its robust construction and thoughtful design. As part of the metric 32000 series, this housing comes equipped with a 3300 XL 8 mm probe (designated by the “16” in the part number) paired with a 0.5-meter cable, making it ideal for applications where space and flexibility matter. The 10 mm standoff adapter (“10” in the model) and 78 mm probe penetration depth (“078”) offer precise positioning, while the PG21 x M20 fitting (“07”) ensures secure conduit connections—all built with glass-reinforced polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) thermoplastic and corrosion-resistant AISI 304/303 stainless steel components. This combination delivers exceptional durability, with IP66 and CSA Type 4X protection ratings to shield against dust, water, and harsh chemicals.
Beyond its physical resilience, the 32000-16-05-10-078-07-02 is fully compliant with API 670 standards, a must for oil and gas, petrochemical, and power generation industries. It operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -51°C to +177°C, adapting to extreme industrial conditions, and when paired with approved transducer systems and I.S. barriers, it’s suitable for intrinsically safe hazardous areas. What truly sets this housing apart is its user-centric design: external access to the probe and extension cable means gap adjustments or replacements can be done without disassembling the machine, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.
For businesses that refuse to compromise on machinery condition monitoring, the Bently Nevada 32000-16-05-10-078-07-02 is more than a component—it’s a long-term investment in reliability. Its durable build, industry compliance, and easy maintenance align with the needs of high-stakes industrial operations, while our dedicated testing services add an extra layer of confidence. If you’re looking to upgrade your proximity probe housing or replace aging units, trust the 32000-16-05-10-078-07-02 to deliver consistent performance, backed by a team that prioritizes quality and accountability.
