Bently Nevada 16710-46 3-conductor shielded 22 AWG (0.5 mm2) armored cable

Description

The Bently Nevada 16710-46 is a component of the 330450 High Temperature Acceleration System, designed for vibration measurement in high-temperature industrial environments. As part of the system's segregated design, it supports installation where the sensing element is exposed to elevated temperatures while the signal conditioning electronics remain in a cooler location. This configuration helps maintain reliable acceleration measurement, reduces potential connector-related failures, and is suitable for demanding machinery monitoring applications such as turbines, compressors, and other rotating equipment.

Frequently asked questions

Q:What is the Bently Nevada 16710-46?
A:The Bently Nevada 16710-46 is a 46-foot (approx. 14.0 meters) armored 3-conductor interconnect cable used within the 330450 High Temperature Acceleration System.

Q:Why does the 16710-46 cable feature a stainless steel armor design?
A:This cable is primarily installed around heavy rotating machinery like steam turbines and compressors. The stainless steel braided armor serves two main purposes: mechanical protection against cuts, abrasions, or foot traffic, and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) immunity. Together with the internal shielding, it blocks electrical noise from high-voltage motors or VFDs, securing clean vibration data.

Q:If the 16710-46 cable is damaged, can I replace it individually, or do I need to replace the entire system?
A:Yes, it can be replaced individually. The 16710-46 is available as a standalone spare part. If damaged, you only need to purchase a replacement cable with the exact same length suffix (-46) to maintain calibration. You do not need to replace the expensive sensor head or charge amplifier. However, a loop check is recommended after installation to verify overall system accuracy.

Application areas

The Bently Nevada 16710-46 interconnect cable (as part of the 330450 High Temperature Acceleration System) is specifically engineered for heavy-duty rotating machinery operating in extreme-temperature and harsh industrial environments.

• Gas Turbines: Tracking acceleration and mechanical stress on structural frames, exhaust frames, and compressor sections.
• Hot Oil and Process Pumps: Monitoring heavy-duty pumps transferring high-temperature fluids or refinery-byproducts.
• Iron & Steel Mills: Used on blast furnace air blowers, hot rolling mill drive trains, and exhaust fans subjected to intense radiant heat.
• Chemical Processing: Monitoring high-temperature agitators, mixers, and reactors where process temperatures exceed standard sensor limits.
