330525 Velomitor XA Piezo-velocity
Sensor
Datasheet
Bently Nevada Machinery Condition Monitoring
Description
The Velomitor XA (eXtended Application) Sensor is a
ruggedized version of Bently Nevada's 330500 Velomitor
Sensor. Its 316L stainless steel case and unique, weatherproof
connector and cable assembly permit mounting without a
housing. The Velomitor XA Sensor cable assembly is suitable
for use in moist environments, and the Velomitor XA Sensor
design meets the requirements of IP-65 and NEMA 4X dust
ratings when properly installed with a mating extension
cable.
If you are measuring a machine housing to determine
where to install transducers, consider what kinds of
data you need to obtain. Most common machine
malfunctions (imbalance, misalignment, and so forth)
originate at the rotor and cause a change in rotor
vibration. The location you select on the housing must
accurately conduct rotor vibration to the transducer.
Install the transducer carefully. If you don't, the
transducer may not accurately detect vibrations and
can transmit invalid data. Bently Nevada provides
engineering services to accurately measure machine
housings and to install transducers.
