BENTLY NEVADA 330400 and 330425 Accelerometer Acceleration Transducers

Description
These accelerometers are intended for critical machinery
applications where casing acceleration measurements are
required, such as gear mesh monitoring. The 330400 is
designed to address the requirements of American Petroleum
Institute Standard 670 for accelerometers. It provides an
amplitude range of 50 g peak and a sensitivity of 100 mV/g.
The 330425 is identical except it provides a larger amplitude
range (75 g peak) and a sensitivity of 25 mV/g.
If housing measurements are being made for overall
protection of the machine, thought should be given to the
usefulness of the measurement for each application. Most
common machine malfunctions (imbalance, misalignment,
etc.) originate at the rotor and cause an increase (or at least a
change) in rotor vibration. In order for any housing
measurement alone to be effective for overall machine
protection, a significant amount of rotor vibration must be
faithfully transmitted to the bearing housing or machine
casing, or more specifically, to the mounting location of the
transducer.
In addition, care should be exercised in the physical
installation of the transducer. Improper installation can result
in a degradation of the transducer’s performance, and/ or the
generation of signals which do not represent actual machine
vibration. Integration of the output to velocity can worsen
this. Extreme caution should be exercised if integrating to
velocity. For high quality velocity measurements the 330500
Velomitor Sensor should be used.
Upon request, we can provide engineering services to
determine the appropriateness of housing measurements for
the machine in question and/or to provide installation
assistance

Specifications
Parameters are specified from +20 to +30 °C
(+68 to +86 °F) and 100 Hz unless otherwise
indicated.
Operation outside the specified limits may
result in false readings or loss of machine
monitoring.

frequencies above 15 kHz, especially
at the transducers resonance will
significantly decrease this range.

735 m/s2 (75 g) peak overall
acceleration within the 10 Hz to 15

Bently Nevada recommends
installing with the Mounting base to
minimize base strain sensitivity for
serial numbers NOT preceded by the
