Bently Nevada 170133-050-00 Proximitor Transducer I/O Module

Hardware Specifications

Signal Function and Measurement

The module interfaces with an eddy-current proximity probe. As the gap between the probe tip and the shaft changes, the probe produces a corresponding voltage change. The monitoring system then uses this signal to assess shaft vibration or relative position, depending on the installed configuration.

The scale factor describes the relationship between shaft displacement and output voltage. Therefore, the probe, extension cable, target material, and calibration must match the required measurement range. For accurate selection, check the complete transducer system rather than relying on the module number alone.

Configuration and Compatibility

The supplied information associates the -050 suffix with a 5 m transducer system. However, it does not confirm the exact meaning of the final -00 suffix. Check the ordering information before using this model as a direct replacement.

Also, verify the installed monitor, probe model, extension cable, and calibration requirements before commissioning. Do not assume that a module supports another proximity probe family simply because the model numbers look similar.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does the 170133-050-00 module do?

A: It provides an interface for a compatible Proximitor transducer in a machinery monitoring system. The resulting signal supports shaft vibration and position measurements.

Q: What does the 5 m configuration mean?

A: It identifies the specified transducer system length. Therefore, the probe and extension cable must match the intended system configuration and calibration.

Q: What should buyers check before ordering a replacement?

A: First, confirm the complete model number and suffixes. Next, check probe compatibility, cable length, scale factor, calibration range, and compatibility with the installed 1701 monitoring hardware.
