The Bently Nevada 991-10-XX-01-00 Thrust Transmitter is part of Bently Nevada’s series of advanced monitoring equipment designed for accurate measurement of axial displacement (thrust) in rotating machinery. This transmitter plays a crucial role in safeguarding high-value equipment such as turbines, compressors, and motors by providing real-time monitoring of thrust forces, which can indicate potential bearing wear, misalignment, or other issues that could lead to machinery failure.

Series: 991 Series

Model: 991-10-XX-01-00

Type: Thrust Transmitter, designed to measure axial displacement, or the movement along the axis of a rotating shaft.

991-10-XX-01-00 Signal Output: 4-20 mA – a standard, linear current output that can be directly integrated with control systems such as DCS (Distributed Control Systems) or PLCs.

991-10-XX-01-00  Specifically used for axial or thrust displacement monitoring, which is critical in detecting problems like shaft misalignment or bearing wear before they lead to more significant machinery damage.

Output Signal: 4-20 mA – Linear output where 4 mA corresponds to the minimum axial displacement (or threshold) and 20 mA corresponds to the maximum allowable or set displacement limit.

991-10-XX-01-00 Typically configured for a range that is tailored to the specific application, such as up to ±1.0 mm or ±2.5 mm of axial displacement.

Power Supply: 24 VDC – This is the standard industrial power supply for this series of transmitters.

Operating Temperature: Typically ranges from -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F), making the device suitable for various industrial conditions, including extreme temperatures.

4-20 mA Output for System Integration: The 991-10-XX-01-00  4-20 mA output ensures easy integration with existing monitoring systems, enabling continuous and remote monitoring of thrust levels in machinery.

991-10-XX-01-00  Monitoring thrust in turbines, especially steam or gas turbines, where axial displacement is critical to detecting misalignments and preventing catastrophic damage.

991-10-XX-01-00 Used to measure axial displacement in compressors and motors, ensuring proper alignment and preventing mechanical failure due to excessive thrust forces.

991-10-XX-01-00  Provides a critical tool for monitoring thrust in bearing systems, allowing maintenance teams to detect signs of wear or malfunction before failure occurs.

This 991-10-XX-01-00 transmitter enables condition-based maintenance strategies, allowing for more efficient planning and reducing unexpected downtime caused by thrust-related issues.

By monitoring thrust forces, the 991-10-XX-01-00 transmitter helps identify potential issues early, allowing for predictive maintenance that can extend the life of rotating equipment.

991-10-XX-01-00 Continuous monitoring helps prevent catastrophic failures by detecting abnormalities before they lead to major damage or unscheduled downtime.

By keeping track of axial displacement, the 991-10-XX-01-00 thrust transmitter enhances the safety of equipment and operations, ensuring that rotating machinery operates within safe parameters.
