Why This Sensor Matters

This seismoprobe generates its own signal without external power. Consequently, it simplifies wiring in hazardous or remote installations. The moving coil inside a magnetic field produces voltage directly. Furthermore, the rugged housing resists oil, dust, and mechanical shock.Bently Nevada Velocity Seismoprobe

Machine operators typically mount the on bearing housings or structural frames. The device then captures low-frequency vibration tied to imbalance, misalignment, or looseness. Meanwhile, its passive nature eliminates the need for signal conditioning modules in many setups.Bently Nevada 16699-10-02-02 Velocity Seismoprobe: 20 mV/mm/s sensitivity, 10–1,000 Hz range, 140 g weight.
