Product Overview
When machine vibration threatens equipment reliability, the Bently Nevada 9200-03-05-05-00 provides precise velocity measurements for early fault detection. This Two-Wire Velocity Seismoprobe Transducer is an Industrial Automation Module designed for continuous vibration monitoring in rotating machinery. With a sensitivity of 20 mV/mm/s (500 mV/in/s) and a dynamic operating range of 2.54 mm peak-to-peak displacement, it delivers accurate data even in harsh industrial environments.

Industry Applications
The Bently Nevada 9200-03-05-05-00 excels in condition monitoring for turbines, compressors, pumps, and fans. Its 4.5 Hz minimum operating frequency (270 cpm) makes it suitable for slow-speed machinery. In a typical installation, the transducer mounts at 90° (±2.5°) using a 1/2-20 UNF stud, providing stable readings even under high vibration. By delivering early warnings of imbalance, misalignment, or bearing wear, this transducer helps reduce unplanned downtime and extends equipment life—a direct return on investment.
Maintenance and Reliability
Built with a neoprene gasket and anodized aluminum housing, the Bently Nevada 9200-03-05-05-00 withstands dust, moisture, and temperature extremes. Its sealed design requires minimal maintenance: periodic visual inspection for cable integrity and connector tightness is sufficient. The transducer’s sensitivity temperature coefficient of 0.2%/°C ensures stable performance across the operating range, reducing the need for frequent recalibration. With proper care, this module delivers years of reliable service, lowering total cost of ownership.
Selection Guide and Purchasing Advice
Before ordering the Bently Nevada 9200-03-05-05-00, verify your system requirements: the mounting angle (90° ±2.5°), connector type (terminal block top mount, Option 05), and stud size (1/2-20 UNF-3A, Option 05). This unit comes with no agency approvals (Option 00), so confirm if SIL or ATEX certification is needed for your application.
