Bently Nevada 165855-16-CN Cylinder Pressure Transducer

Product Overview

The 165855-16-CN cylinder pressure transducer from Bently Nevada is designed for precise pressure monitoring in reciprocating compressors, engines, and other high dynamic industrial machinery. It is widely used in power generation, oil and gas production, petrochemical processing, and mechanical testing systems where accurate cylinder pressure measurement is required to improve combustion efficiency and reduce mechanical stress and unplanned downtime.

This transducer supports a pressure range up to 345 bar (5000 psia), making it suitable for high pressure industrial applications with demanding operating conditions. The armored construction improves mechanical durability in harsh environments with vibration and thermal cycling. It operates on a 18 to 30 VDC supply and maintains low current consumption below 15 mA, enabling stable integration into industrial monitoring systems. The frequency response up to 5500 Hz allows accurate capture of fast pressure variations in reciprocating machinery. The CN approval option supports country specific hazardous area compliance requirements for industrial installations.
