Technical Specifications

Function and Working Principle

The 130539-12 Interconnecting Cable serves the crucial role of connecting Bently Nevada vibration sensors and proximity probes to the monitoring systems where the data is processed and analyzed. Here’s how it works:

• Data Transmission: The cable ensures reliable data transmission between the sensors (such as proximity probes and vibration sensors) and the monitoring system. It allows the measurement signals (e.g., vibration, displacement, position) to be sent from the sensor to the system for real-time monitoring and analysis.
• Shielding: The cable is designed with shielding to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI), which ensures that data integrity is maintained even in electrically noisy environments. This is crucial in industrial applications where equipment generates substantial electromagnetic fields.
• Durability and Flexibility: The cable is made to withstand harsh industrial environments, offering both flexibility for easy routing and durability against mechanical wear, vibration, and exposure to environmental factors like temperature fluctuations and moisture.
