Brand New Bently Nevada 16925-25 Vibration Sensor Cable

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 16925-25 serves as a high-performance, non-armored interconnect cable engineered to link vibration and seismic sensors to centralized monitoring racks. This 25-foot (7.6 m) cable facilitates the seamless transmission of critical machinery health data in industrial environments. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New original hardware, manufactured in the USA. Its 3-conductor, shielded design ensures that sensitive signals from proximity probes or seismic transducers reach the diagnostic system without degradation from electromagnetic interference.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• Superior EMI Suppression: The 16925-25 features a dense braided copper shield with at least 85% coverage. This construction traps electrical noise from high-voltage motors and variable frequency drives (VFDs), preventing false vibration readings and ensuring the integrity of your machinery protection logic.

• Low Capacitance Signal Path: With a capacitance rating of ≤100 pF/m, this cable minimizes signal attenuation over its 25-foot span. This low-loss characteristic allows the monitoring system to capture high-frequency vibration data accurately, essential for detecting early-stage bearing wear or shaft cracks.

• High-Flex Industrial Durability: Designed for applications involving repeated bending and complex routing, this cable carries a high-flex rating exceeding 1 million cycles. It withstands the constant vibration of industrial machinery decks without developing internal conductor fatigue or shorts.

• Extreme Thermal Operating Range: The cable maintains physical and electrical stability from –40 °C to +120 °C. This wide tolerance permits installation near steam lines or in unconditioned outdoor enclosures across diverse climates.

• Streamlined Routing: The non-armored, flexible jacket allows technicians to pull the cable easily through narrow conduits and tight bends within control cabinets. This flexibility significantly reduces installation time during system commission or retrofit projects.

Installation Guidelines

Properly route the 16925-25 away from high-power AC lines to maintain its low-noise performance. Ensure the braided copper shield is correctly grounded at the monitoring rack end according to Bently Nevada standard practices; this prevents ground loops while maximizing EMI protection. Because this is a non-armored version, we recommend using flexible liquid-tight conduit in areas where the cable may face physical impact or sharp edges.

FAQs

• Can I use the 16925-25 with non-Bently Nevada sensors?

  While designed for Bently Nevada monitoring systems, this is a high-quality 3-conductor shielded cable. However, you must verify impedance and capacitance requirements for third-party hardware to ensure measurement accuracy.

• Does this cable require special tools for termination?

  The 22 AWG conductors work with standard industrial crimping tools or screw-type terminal blocks found in Bently Nevada I/O modules. Ensure the shield remains intact as close to the terminal as possible.

• How do I know if I need the armored version instead?

  If your installation exposes the cable to foot traffic, falling debris, or high-pressure washdowns, consider an armored variant. The 16925-25 is best suited for conduit-protected runs or internal cabinet wiring where flexibility is prioritized over impact resistance.

• Is this a genuine Bently Nevada product?

  Yes. We supply only 100% Brand New, original Bently Nevada 16925-25 cables in factory-sealed condition, ensuring the American-made quality and reliability your machinery protection system demands.
