Bently Nevada 177230-00-01-05 Loop Powered Seismic Vibration Transmitter

Description

Bently Nevada 177230-00-01-05 Loop Powered Seismic Vibration Transmitter

Product Description

The 177230-00-01-05 is a compact loop-powered seismic velocity transmitter from Bently Nevada (Baker Hughes). It integrates a piezoelectric accelerometer with signal conditioning electronics inside a rugged stainless steel housing, used to measure overall casing vibration velocity of rotating and reciprocating machinery. This model has a velocity range of 0–12.7 mm/s (0–0.5 in/s RMS) and 10 Hz to 1 kHz frequency response. It outputs standard 4–20mA loop signal proportional to vibration magnitude for PLC, DCS or SCADA input, and also provides an auxiliary raw dynamic vibration signal for advanced spectrum and waveform analysis. Certified for hazardous locations with ATEX, IECEx and CSA approvals, this transmitter requires no on-site configuration and is designed for long-term continuous condition monitoring of general industrial rotating assets.
