Features:
- 2-Wire Loop-Powered Design for Simplified Control System Integration
- Direct Signal Conditioning from 3300 NSv Proximity Probe to 4-20 mA Output
- Available with 5 m and 7 m System Length Cable Configuration Options
The 991-01-XX-02-05 serves as a dedicated thrust transmitter for original equipment manufacturers of centrifugal air compressors or small pumps, motors, and fans. This 991-01-XX-02-05 device continuously accepts input from the Bently Nevada 3300 NSv proximity probe and its matching extension cable, with system length options available in 5 m and 7 m configurations. The 991-01-XX-02-05 conditions the proximity signal into appropriate engineering units proportional to the shaft's axial position and delivers a standard 4 to 20 mA output directly to the machinery control system. This 2-wire, loop-powered 991-01-XX-02-05 is specifically designed for OEMs who require a simple, proportional thrust signal input without the complexity of full-scale vibration monitoring architectures.
The 991-01-XX-02-05 provides essential thrust monitoring functions critical to the axial displacement measurement path and directly affects the proper, normal operation of machinery protection systems in rotating equipment. As a compact signal conditioning transmitter, the 991-01-XX-02-05 functions as a vital bridge between non-contact proximity sensing technology and conventional analog control inputs. One 991-01-XX-02-05 unit is required per thrust measurement point, installed between the 3300 NSv probe assembly and the host control system where machinery protection alarming and logic decisions are executed.
For installation and integration applications, the 991-01-XX-02-05 connects directly to the 3300 NSv proximity probe positioned to detect axial shaft movement on the monitored machine. The transmitter performs internal signal conditioning using circuitry specified in the 991 series design, eliminating the need for additional external converters. Using this method, the 991-01-XX-02-05 continually processes proximity input and outputs a stable 4 to 20 mA signal representing real-time thrust position. For facilities upgrading existing machinery protection systems, the 991-01-XX-02-05 offers a streamlined upgrade path by providing standardized 4 to 20 mA thrust monitoring capability that integrates directly with existing control loop infrastructures without requiring extensive system reconfiguration.
The 991-01-XX-02-05 Bently Nevada Thrust Transmitter may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Centrifugal Air Compressors: Real-time tracking of thrust balance changes caused by aerodynamic variations or surging.
- Industrial Pumps: Monitoring multi-stage boiler feedwater pumps, process pumps, and small high-speed fluid pumps against excessive thrust bearing wear.
- Electric Motors & Generators: Detecting rotor positioning shifts due to magnetic center misalignment or external thrust forces.
- Small Fans & Blowers: Safeguarding balance components in confined or space-constrained plant layouts.
- Matched Extension Cables: Must connect via matching 75Ω coaxial FEP-insulated extension cables.
- Calibration Target: Engineered with a standard linear scale factor of 7.87 mV/µm (200 mV/mil) when utilizing a flat 4140 steel target profile.
- Direct PLC/DCS Integration: The main 4-20 mA current loop wires directly into standard Analog Input channels of standard Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Distributed Control Systems (DCS), or safety-rated machinery protection processors.
- Diagnostic "Prox Out" Output: Incorporates an unisolated, dedicated BNC coaxial terminal and terminal blocks labeled PROX OUT and COM. This delivers raw dynamic gap voltage signals (200 mV/mil) directly to portable data collectors or software like the Bently Nevada ADRE system for advanced rotor orbit and vibration diagnostics.
- Not OK / Signal Defeat Circuit: Instantly drops loop current below 3.6 mA within 100 microseconds of a probe defect or a severed connection, ensuring the control system recognizes a component fault rather than triggering a false machinery trip.
- Power-up Inhibit Circuit: Dampens lines during startup voltage transients to suppress inaccurate data spikes.
- External Loop Tuning: Non-interacting zero and span potentiometers are accessible right below the cover label for rapid loop calibration checks.
