Bently Nevada 16699-01-02-02 Piezoelectric Velocity Seismoprobe

Quick Overview

The 16699-01-02-02 is a high-precision Velocity Seismoprobe designed to measure absolute casing vibration on critical rotating machinery. Unlike proximity probes that measure shaft relative motion, this piezoelectric velocity sensor captures the vibration of the machine housing itself. 

• Model Number: 16699-01-02-02

• Measurement Type: Piezoelectric Velocity Sensor

• Frequency Range: 10 Hz – 1,000 Hz

• Sensitivity: 4.0 V/in/sec ±10%

• Output Signal: Voltage proportional to velocity

• Operating Temp: -35°C to +120°C

• Cable Length: 2 m (6.6 ft)

• Weight: 0.5 kg

• Mounting: Stud mount or compatible magnetic base

Key Features

• High-Output Sensitivity: Provides a powerful 4.0 V/in/sec signal, ensuring high signal-to-noise ratios even when monitoring machinery at a distance from the rack.

• Broad Diagnostic Coverage: The 10 Hz to 1,000 Hz frequency response is specifically tuned to capture the most common mechanical faults, including 1X and 2X vibration components.

• Rugged Industrial Enclosure: Built with an industrial-grade housing that protects the internal piezoelectric crystals from moisture, oil, and dust in harsh plant environments.

• Versatile Mounting: Supports permanent stud mounting for continuous protection or magnetic base mounting for temporary diagnostic surveys.

• High Temperature Stability: Rated for operation up to +120°C, allowing the sensor to be mounted directly onto hot turbine or compressor casings without performance degradation.

• System Synergy: Fully compatible with Bently Nevada 3500 series monitors, facilitating a seamless "sensor-to-rack" protection solution.
