Features:
- The solid-state piezo-velocity design supplies a direct housing-velocity signal without moving sensor parts.
- The 00 configuration leaves the mounting adaptor open to the actual machine interface rather than assuming a supplied thread.
- The 02 configuration identifies the European ATEX ordering option for an approval-sensitive procurement.
330500-00-02 is intended for absolute vibration at bearing housings, casings and suitable structures; the mounting location matters because rotor motion has to reach that surface.
Its integrated electronics convert the piezoelectric response into a velocity signal, supporting a monitor channel that is configured for that measurement type.
The complete order code distinguishes both the mechanical-adaptor choice and agency-approval selection, so a family-name match alone does not establish the supplied configuration.
Apter Power supports documentation review and sourcing for the Bently Nevada 330500-00-02 Velomitor Piezo-velocity Sensor.

Important Notice: Match the exact mounting and approval options to the installed measurement point using Baker Hughes documentation.
- Integrated piezoelectric electronics deliver a velocity signal directly, so the monitoring input needs a velocity-sensor scale rather than a raw accelerometer scale.
- The published 4.5 Hz–5 kHz, ±3 dB response defines the frequency band that can be used for a broad machine-vibration review.
- The ±2% linearity statement stops at 152 mm/s peak even though the maximum stated velocity range is 1270 mm/s peak; these are different selection limits.
- Transverse sensitivity below 5% helps distinguish motion along the sensing axis from cross-axis response when interpreting a trend.
- The 00 configuration is supplied without a mounting adaptor, leaving the thread interface to the selected installation kit.
- Because the sensing assembly has no moving parts, horizontal and vertical orientations are both available when the machine surface is suitable.
- The 25.3 mm diameter and 63.2 mm body height define the space needed around the measurement point, separate from packaging dimensions.
- A 316L stainless-steel case supports installation on the selected bearing housing or casing, while contact quality remains a separate mounting issue.
- The hermetically sealed 2-pin MIL-C-5015 connection determines the mating end of the sensor cable.
- The published bias of −12 ±3 VDC at Pin A gives the monitoring team a defined electrical reference for this sensor family.
- Case isolation is part of the specified sensor construction and matters when electrical noise at the mounting surface is being assessed.
- With 02173006 cable, Baker Hughes specifies a 305 m maximum run; its shorter 63 m recommendation applies under the stated high-vibration, high-frequency and cable-capacitance conditions.
- Monitor bearing-housing vibration on machinery with rolling-element bearings.
- Measure casing vibration where motion from the rotor reaches the housing surface.
- Measure structural vibration in a suitable machine-mounted monitoring arrangement.
- Use velocity-unit measurements when that signal is the useful condition-monitoring variable.
