Description

The Bently Nevada 89477-17 is a high-quality interconnect cable engineered for reliable signal transmission in industrial vibration monitoring applications. This 17-foot (5.2-meter) cable is specifically designed to connect vibration sensors, such as the Bently Nevada Velomitor piezo-velocity sensor series, to monitoring systems like the Bently Nevada 3500 series. It features a robust, shielded construction to maintain signal integrity in demanding environments.

Features

• 2-conductor 18 AWG twisted pair configuration.
• Integrated shielding to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• Right-angle 2-socket plug at the sensor end for compact installation.
• Terminal lugs at the monitoring system end for secure connection.
• Designed for harsh industrial environments, including oil, gas, and power generation facilities.

Applications

• Vibration monitoring for rotating machinery such as pumps, compressors, and turbines.
• Signal transmission between proximity probes/accelerometers and monitoring instrumentation.
• General industrial maintenance and diagnostic systems.

Installation Guidelines

• Noise Reduction: To prevent signal noise, avoid routing this cable in the same cable trays or conduits as high-voltage power lines.
• Physical Protection: If the cable is exposed to solvents, moisture, or potential physical impact, route it through protective conduit.
• Mechanical Security: Secure the cable to a stationary part of the machine using cable ties or clamps to prevent cable whipping or vibration-induced fatigue.
• Handling: Ensure the connectors are clean and free of debris before mating. Do not overtighten terminal connections.

FAQ

What is the length of the 89477-17?

The 89477-17 is 17 feet (approximately 5.2 meters) in length.

What is the primary purpose of this cable?

It is used to transmit low-noise vibration signals from sensors, such as Velomitor piezo-velocity sensors, to Bently Nevada monitoring systems.

Can this cable be used in high-vibration environments?

Yes, it is designed for industrial use, but it must be properly secured to a stationary machine component to prevent fatigue from mechanical vibration.
