BENTLY 136711-01

Product introduction

The 136711-01 from Bently Nevada is a precision-engineered vibration sensor extension cable designed specifically for connecting proximity probes to monitoring systems in the 3500 Machinery Protection ecosystem. This 3-meter shielded cable assembly serves as the critical signal pathway between rotating machinery sensors and protection modules, ensuring accurate transmission of vibration and position data that forms the foundation of machinery health monitoring. Bently Nevada’s 136711-01 is engineered to maintain signal integrity from sensor to monitor, providing the high-quality input data that ultimately flows through communication gateways like the 140734-01 to operators and analytics platforms.

Bently Nevada’s 136711-01 addresses the unique challenges of signal transmission in industrial environments where electrical noise and environmental factors can degrade sensitive vibration measurements. Its specialized construction minimizes signal loss and interference, ensuring that critical vibration signatures remain intact for accurate analysis by 3500 series monitors. By preserving the integrity of low-level sensor signals, the 136711-01 plays an essential role in enabling reliable machinery protection and condition monitoring across power generation, oil and gas, and manufacturing industries.

Core advantages and technical highlights

Signal integrity preservation: The 136711-01 features precision twisted-pair conductors with PTFE insulation that minimizes capacitance and signal attenuation over its 3-meter length. This design ensures that high-frequency vibration components—essential for detecting early-stage machinery faults—remain intact during transmission from proximity probes to monitoring modules, providing the accurate input data needed for reliable protection decisions.

Extreme environment durability: Constructed to perform in harsh industrial conditions, the 136711-01 operates reliably across a -40°C to +125°C temperature range. Its chemical-resistant fluoropolymer jacket withstands exposure to oils, solvents, and industrial cleaning agents, while the robust connector design ensures secure mating even in vibration-prone installations near rotating machinery.

Advanced noise immunity: Equipped with 100% coverage tinned copper braid shielding and a dedicated drain wire, the 136711-01 provides exceptional protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This shielding is particularly critical in environments with variable frequency drives, motors, and other industrial equipment that generate electrical noise which could otherwise corrupt sensitive vibration measurements.

System-optimized design: The 136711-01 features a 5-pin micro-D connector specifically engineered for compatibility with Bently Nevada’s 3300 XL proximity probes and 3500 series monitoring modules. This precision interface ensures proper electrical termination and mechanical alignment, minimizing signal degradation at connection points while facilitating easy installation and replacement.

Typical application scenarios

In power generation turbine installations, the 136711-01 connects proximity probes mounted on turbine bearings to 3500/42M vibration monitors. Routing through turbine enclosures with high electrical noise from generator systems, the cable’s advanced shielding preserves the integrity of shaft vibration and position signals. This accurate data transmission ensures that subtle machinery issues are detected early, with information flowing through 140734-01 communication gateways to operators before significant damage occurs.

Oil refineries utilize the 136711-01 in pump and compressor monitoring applications, where it connects bearing proximity probes to local monitoring modules. The cable’s chemical-resistant jacket withstands exposure to hydrocarbons and cleaning agents common in these environments, while its temperature tolerance accommodates the elevated ambient conditions near process equipment. Reliable signal transmission ensures that vibration data remains accurate for both protection system operation and predictive maintenance analytics.

Manufacturing facilities deploy the 136711-01 in motor and gearbox monitoring systems, providing secure connectivity between embedded proximity probes and 3500 series monitors. The cable’s flexible design allows routing through tight machinery spaces while maintaining proper shielding, ensuring that vibration data remains free from interference from nearby motors and drives. This reliable connection supports both real-time protection and long-term performance trending through systems connected to the 140734-01.
