The 190501-12-00-05 Velomitor CT Transducer from Bently Nevada is a low-frequency velocity sensor engineered for casing vibration monitoring in cooling towers and air-cooled heat exchangers. Optimized for low-RPM applications, it provides accurate vibration data for predictive maintenance and machinery protection.
This transducer is designed to detect common mechanical faults such as unbalance and misalignment by measuring vibration transmitted from rotors to casings. Its piezoelectric sensing element ensures stable performance across temperature variations, while rugged construction withstands moisture, dust, and harsh industrial environments. Unlike standard accelerometers, the Velomitor CT is optimized for low-RPM machinery (90–300 RPM), making it ideal for large fans, pumps, and gearboxes.
When properly mounted on bearing housings or rigid casing points, the 190501-12-00-05 delivers precise velocity measurements that support predictive maintenance strategies. It integrates seamlessly with Bently Nevada monitoring systems and can be paired with 3300XL proximity probes for comprehensive machinery health coverage.
