330400 and 330425 Accelerometer Acceleration

Transducers
Bently Nevada* Asset Condition Monitoring

Description
These accelerometers are intended for critical machinery applications where
casing acceleration measurements are required, such as gear mesh monitoring.
The 330400 is designed to address the requirements of American Petroleum
Institute Standard 670 for accelerometers. It provides an amplitude range of 50
g peak and a sensitivity of 100 mV/g. The 330425 is identical except it provides a
larger amplitude range (75 g peak) and a sensitivity of 25 mV/g.

Caution
If housing measurements are being made for overall protection of the machine,
thought should be given to the usefulness of the measurement for each
application. Most common machine malfunctions (imbalance, misalignment,
etc.) originate at the rotor and cause an increase (or at least a change) in rotor
vibration. In order for any housing measurement alone to be effective for overall
machine protection, a significant amount of rotor vibration must be faithfully
transmitted to the bearing housing or machine casing, or more specifically, to
the mounting location of the transducer.

In addition, care should be exercised in the physical installation of the

transducer. Improper installation can result in a degradation of the transducers
performance, and/or the generation of signals which do not represent actual
machine vibration. Integration of the output to velocity can worsen this.
Extreme caution should be exercised if integrating to velocity. For high quality
velocity measurements the 330500 Velomitor* Sensor should be used.

Upon request, we can provide engineering services to determine the

appropriateness of housing measurements for the machine in question and/or
to provide installation assistance.
