Bently Nevada 991-06-70-01-00 Thrust Position Transmitter

The Bently Nevada 991-06-70-01-00 is a precision thrust position transmitter engineered for continuous monitoring of axial shaft position in critical turbomachinery applications. This industrial-grade instrument converts proximity probe signals into industry-standard 4-20mA current loop outputs, enabling seamless integration with distributed control systems (DCS), programmable logic controllers (PLC), and SCADA platforms.

Technical Specifications

  • Model Number: 991-06-70-01-00
  • Series: 991 Thrust Position Transmitter
  • System Length: 5.0 meters (16.4 feet)
  • Output Signal: 4-20mA DC current loop (2-wire)
  • Measurement Range: 0 to 100 mils (0 to 2.54 mm) axial displacement
  • Accuracy: ±0.25% of full scale at 25°C
  • Linearity: ±0.5% of full scale over operating range
  • Power Supply: 12-30 VDC (loop-powered)
  • Load Resistance: Maximum 800Ω at 24 VDC
  • Operating Temperature: -30°C to +65°C (-22°F to +149°F)
  • Response Time: <100 milliseconds to 90% of final value
  • Housing Material: Stainless steel 316L for corrosion resistance
  • Environmental Rating: IP65 (dust-tight and water-resistant)

Advanced Measurement Technology

The 991-06-70-01-00 employs sophisticated signal conditioning circuitry to deliver exceptional performance:

  • Dual-Channel Processing: Accepts two proximity probe inputs for differential thrust measurement, automatically calculating net axial position
  • Temperature Compensation: Internal algorithms correct for thermal drift across the full operating range, maintaining ±0.25% accuracy
  • Noise Rejection: Advanced filtering eliminates electrical interference from variable frequency drives (VFD) and high-voltage switchgear
  • Self-Diagnostics: Continuous monitoring of probe health, cable integrity, and power supply status with fault indication
  • Scalable Output: Field-adjustable zero and span settings allow customization for specific machinery clearances

Application Scenarios

The 991-06-70-01-00 thrust transmitter is essential for protecting high-value rotating assets:

  • Steam Turbines: Monitor thrust bearing wear in power generation units, preventing catastrophic failures that could cost millions in downtime and repairs
  • Gas Turbines: Track axial rotor position in jet engines and industrial gas turbines where thermal expansion affects clearances
  • Centrifugal Compressors: Detect thrust bearing degradation in pipeline compressors before performance deteriorates or seizure occurs
  • Hydro Turbines: Measure runner axial movement in hydroelectric generators subjected to varying hydraulic loads
  • Large Motors: Protect critical induction motors and synchronous machines from magnetic center misalignment
  • Gearboxes: Monitor axial float in high-speed gear trains where excessive thrust indicates bearing failure or lubrication issues

Integration & Compatibility

The 991 transmitter seamlessly interfaces with existing monitoring infrastructure:

  • Proximity Probe Compatibility: Works with Bently Nevada 3300 XL, 3300 NSv, and legacy 7200 series proximity sensors
  • DCS Integration: 4-20mA output connects directly to Emerson DeltaV, Honeywell Experion, ABB 800xA, and Yokogawa Centum analog input cards
  • PLC Connectivity: Compatible with Allen-Bradley ControlLogix, Siemens S7, and Schneider Modicon analog modules
  • SCADA Systems: Interfaces with Wonderware, iFIX, and other supervisory platforms via analog input servers
  • Relay Logic: Supports connection to alarm panels and emergency shutdown (ESD) systems for critical trip functions

Installation & Commissioning

Proper installation ensures optimal measurement accuracy and long-term reliability:

  • Mounting Location: Install in a vibration-free area within 5 meters of proximity probes; avoid locations with temperature extremes
  • Wiring Practices: Use shielded twisted-pair cable for 4-20mA output; ground shield at DCS/PLC end only to prevent ground loops
  • Probe Alignment: Position proximity probes 180° apart on thrust collar for accurate differential measurement
  • Calibration Procedure: Set zero point with rotor at normal operating position; adjust span to match expected thrust range
  • Verification Testing: Simulate probe gap changes using calibration shims; verify 4-20mA output tracks linearly across full range

Operational Benefits

Deploying the 991-06-70-01-00 delivers measurable improvements in machinery reliability:

  • Early Fault Detection: Identify thrust bearing degradation 3-6 months before failure, enabling planned maintenance during scheduled outages
  • Reduced Downtime: Prevent unplanned shutdowns that cost $50,000-$500,000 per day in lost production
  • Extended Bearing Life: Optimize lubrication and loading conditions based on real-time thrust data, increasing bearing service life by 20-40%
  • Regulatory Compliance: Meet API 670 machinery protection standards required for critical rotating equipment
  • Insurance Benefits: Demonstrate proactive monitoring to reduce machinery breakdown insurance premiums

Maintenance & Troubleshooting

Routine maintenance ensures continued accuracy and reliability:

  • Quarterly Inspection: Verify 4-20mA output matches expected thrust position; check for cable damage or connector corrosion
  • Annual Calibration: Compare transmitter output against known gap standards; adjust zero and span if drift exceeds ±0.5%
  • Probe Replacement: When replacing proximity probes, recalibrate transmitter to account for probe-to-probe variations
  • Common Issues: Erratic output typically indicates loose probe connections or damaged extension cables; verify continuity and insulation resistance
  • Spare Parts Strategy: Maintain one spare transmitter per 10 installed units for critical machinery applications

Quality Assurance

Every 991-06-70-01-00 transmitter undergoes comprehensive factory testing:

  • 100% functional testing with simulated proximity probe inputs across full measurement range
  • Temperature cycling from -30°C to +65°C to verify compensation algorithms
  • Vibration testing per MIL-STD-810 to ensure housing integrity and circuit board reliability
  • EMI/RFI immunity testing to confirm operation in electrically noisy industrial environments
  • Backed by Bently Nevada's global technical support network and genuine OEM warranty
