Bently Nevada 990 Vibration and Thrust Transmitters
- Brand: Bently Nevada
- Type: 990
GE Bently Nevada offers a very wide variety of vibration and thrust transmitters, each designed to handle the rigors of industrial environments and many capable of being installed in hazardous areas when appropriate means are used.
The 990 Vibration Transmitter is intended primarily for the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of centrifugal air compressors or small pumps, motors, or fans who prefer to provide a simple 4 to 20 mA proportional vibration signal as the input to their machinery control system.
The 991 Thrust Transmitter is intended primarily for the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of centrifugal air compressors or small pumps, motors, or fans who prefer to provide a simple 4 to 20 mA proportional axial displacement (thrust) signal as the input to their machinery control system.
Features and Benefits
The features of the 990 Vibration Transmitter include:
- Integrated Proximitor* Sensor requires no external unit
- Non-isolated “PROX OUT" and "COM" terminals plus a coaxial connector to provide a dynamic vibration and gap voltage signal output for diagnostics.
- Non-interacting zero and span potentiometers under the Transmitter label supports loop adjustment.
- Test Input pin for quick verification of loop signal output, using a function generator as the input.
- A Power-up Inhibit circuit eliminates signal errors due to line voltage transients.
- A Not OK/Signal Defeat circuit prevents high outputs or false alarms due to a faulty proximity probe or loose connection.
- Choice of DIN-rail clips or bulkhead mounting screws as standard options simplifies mounting.
- Potted construction for high humidity (up to 100% condensing) environments.
- Compatibility with 3300 NSv proximity probe allows transducer installation in small areas with minimal clearance, typical of centrifugal air compressors.
