Bently Nevada Velocity Sensors & Accelerometers

Overview

The evolution of our accelerometer sensors, velocity-sensing tools, pressure sensors,

and vibration sensors can be traced back to our velocity sensors.

These high-sensitivity units offer a self-generating moving-coil design used by geologists

to measure movement in the Earth’s crust. Today, we still refer to “seismic” sensors for

condition monitoring or general purpose in a nod to their origin.

These early sensors led to the introduction of different types of accelerometers,

including rugged solid-state piezoelectric accelerometers, ushering in today’s integrated

capacitive configurations that deploy signal processing circuitry for output signals using

velocity rather than acceleration.

Our capacitive calibration experience and expertise in how accelerometers work across

the dynamic range, developed over decades, offer a selection of first-rate, high-sensitivity

casing-mounted capacitive accelerometers and velocity sensors with a variety of models

for specific applications.

Bently Nevada's line of accelerometers, velometers, and other acceleration and velocity

sensing tools each come with features to help keep your machinery in its best condition.

Both can handle extreme heat. The velocity sensor is made to be self-powered,

radiation-resistant, and flexible to suit your plant, while the acceleration sensor protects

from electrical hazards and offers portable data collectors.
