Bently Nevada 177230-01-01-00 Seismic Transmitter

Product Introduction

The Bently Nevada 177230-01-01-00 Seismic Transmitter is a robust industrial-grade device designed for measuring casing vibration in critical rotating machinery such as pumps, compressors, fans, and turbines. Unlike proximity probe systems that monitor shaft vibration, this seismic transmitter focuses on casing-mounted vibration monitoring, making it particularly effective for machines where shaft access is limited or impractical.

It converts mechanical vibration into a reliable 4–20 mA output signal, which can be easily integrated into control systems such as DCS (Distributed Control Systems), PLC (Programmable Logic Controllers), and machinery protection systems. With high accuracy, a wide frequency response, and certifications for hazardous environments, the 177230-01-01-00 ensures consistent machine protection and operational reliability in demanding industrial applications.

Product Parameters

Product Applications

The Bently Nevada 177230-01-01-00 is widely applied in industrial environments where machine casing vibration must be monitored to protect equipment from damage.

• Pumps: Ensures pump vibration levels remain within safety thresholds to avoid cavitation or bearing wear.

• Compressors: Monitors casing vibration for imbalance or misalignment in high-load compressors.

• Fans & Blowers: Detects structural vibration issues that can lead to efficiency losses.

• Turbines: Provides casing vibration monitoring in auxiliary and process turbines.

• Hazardous Environments: Certified for use in explosive atmospheres, making it suitable for oil & gas and chemical industries.

• General Machinery Protection: Integrates with DCS/PLC systems for real-time monitoring and automated protection responses.
