Bently Nevada 16699-10-02-02 Electromagnetic Velocity Seismoprobe

Quick Overview

The 16699-10-02-02 is a high-performance Velocity Seismoprobe designed for the direct measurement of absolute casing vibration. Unlike proximity probes that track shaft relative motion, this seismic transducer monitors the machine housing's behavior, providing critical insights into the overall mechanical health of turbines, compressors, and motors. 

Technical Data

• Measurement Principle: Electromagnetic Velocity Sensing

• Sensitivity: Nominal 4.0 V/in/s (±10%)

• Frequency Response: 10 Hz to 1,000 Hz

• Output Signal: Analog Voltage (Proportional to Velocity)

• Cable Length: 10 m (Integral Cable)

• Operating Temp: -35°C to +120°C

• Mounting: Stud Mount (Magnetic accessory compatible)

• Weight: 0.5 kg

Key Features

• Extended 10m Integration: The extra-long 10-meter integral cable eliminates the need for intermediate connectors in large machinery decks, reducing potential failure points and maintaining signal integrity over distance.

• Specialized Casing Diagnostics: Optimized for detecting common structural faults such as mechanical imbalance, shaft misalignment, resonance, and structural looseness.

• Proportional Voltage Output: Delivers a stable analog signal that is directly proportional to vibration velocity, simplifying data interpretation and trending in condition monitoring software.

• High Thermal Stability: Designed to operate continuously in temperatures up to +120°C, making it suitable for mounting on hot turbine casings or high-pressure compressor housings.

• Broad Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with Bently Nevada 3500 Series racks and any standard data acquisition system that accepts velocity transducer voltage outputs.

• Industrial Durability: Built with an industrial-duty housing that protects internal electromagnetic components from harsh power generation and petrochemical environments.
