Bently Nevada 990-05-50-01-05 Sensors & Switches

The Bently Nevada 990-05-50-01-05 is a loop-powered 4-20 mA vibration transmitter. It provides non-contact displacement monitoring for industrial machinery through PLC and DCS integration.

The Bently Nevada 990-05-50-01-05 serves as a high-precision, loop-powered vibration transmitter. This device integrates directly with Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and Distributed Control Systems (DCS). It converts proximity probe signals into a standard 4-20 mA output. Consequently, operators receive continuous machinery health data without dedicated monitoring racks. This streamlined approach allows for cost-effective protection of less critical rotating assets. Furthermore, it provides a reliable interface for real-time vibration displacement tracking.
