Description
The
190501-12-00-05 is a configuration of the
Bently Nevada Velomitor CT Velocity Transducer, specifically optimized for low-frequency casing vibration measurements. This unit features a plate stud (Option 12: Plate Stud 3/8-in 24 to M8x1) for mounting, a standard MIL-C-5015 connection interface (Option 00), and no agency approvals (Option 05/00 - standard non-hazardous configuration). Designed for machines operating at or above 90 rpm, such as cooling towers and air-cooled heat exchangers, this piezoelectric velocity sensor provides continuous monitoring of casing vibration velocity.
The Velomitor CT is engineered to detect rotor-related malfunctions, including unbalance and misalignment, by measuring vibration transmitted to the machine casing or bearing housing. It is a robust, solid-state device that delivers a signal output proportional to the vibration velocity, ensuring reliable data for machinery protection systems.
Features
- Designed for low-frequency applications (100 to 300 rpm typical).
- Option 12: Plate Stud (3/8-in 24 to M8x1) mounting configuration.
- Option 00: Industry-standard 2-pin MIL-C-5015 connection interface.
- Solid-state construction with 316L stainless steel case.
- Internal electronics isolated from the case to minimize ground loop interference.
- Sensitivity: 3.94 mV/mm/s (100 mV/in/s) at 100 Hz.
Applications
- Cooling tower fan assemblies
- Air-cooled heat exchanger fans
- Low-speed rotating machinery
- Bearing housing vibration monitoring
- Casing vibration protection

Installation Guidelines
- Ensure the transducer is installed on a clean, flat surface on the bearing housing or machine casing for optimal signal transmission.
- Use the specified plate stud for secure mechanical coupling.
- Maintain the recommended mounting torque to prevent resonance shifts.
- Use shielded cable to protect the signal from external electromagnetic interference.
- Avoid installation in locations where the transducer may be submerged; the unit is designed for 100% condensing humidity but not for continuous submersion.
