The Bently Nevada 16699-03 Velocity Seismoprobe is a rugged vibration transducer designed to measure absolute casing vibration in rotating machinery. It converts mechanical vibration into an electrical signal, providing reliable velocity measurements for condition monitoring and protection systems.
Measurement Type: Absolute vibration (velocity) of machine casings and structures
Design: Moving-coil velocity transducer
Frequency Range: Typically 10 Hz – 1,000 Hz (depending on configuration)
Output Signal: Proportional to vibration velocity
Mounting: Vertical, horizontal, or angled orientation
Applications: Turbines, compressors, pumps, motors, and other rotating machinery
Application Scenarios
Monitoring casing vibration in large rotating equipment
Detecting imbalance, misalignment, and mechanical looseness
Integration into Bently Nevada 3300/3500 monitoring systems
Predictive maintenance and machinery protection
FAQ
Q: What is the primary function of the 16699-03 Seismoprobe? A: It measures absolute casing vibration velocity for machinery monitoring and protection.
Q: How does it differ from Velomitor sensors? A: The Seismoprobe uses a moving-coil design, while Velomitors are solid-state piezoelectric velocity transducers.
Q: Where is this sensor typically used? A: In turbines, compressors, pumps, and other critical rotating machinery requiring vibration monitoring.
