Description
Description
The Bently Nevada 16710-82 is a high-reliability, 3-conductor shielded interconnect cable engineered for use with Bently Nevada accelerometers, including the 330400 and 330425 series. This cable is specifically designed for critical machinery protection applications where robust signal integrity is required in harsh industrial environments. It features flexible stainless steel armor to provide superior protection against crushing, mechanical impact, and abrasion, while the shielding effectively mitigates EMI/RFI interference.
Features
- 3-conductor shielded configuration for noise immunity
- 22 AWG (0.5 mm2) wire gauge
- Flexible stainless steel armor for enhanced durability in industrial settings
- Equipped with a 3-socket plug on one end and terminal ring lugs on the other
- Designed for compatibility with API 670 compliant accelerometers
Applications
- Turbine monitoring (radial vibration and axial thrust)
- Centrifugal and axial compressor health monitoring
- Shaft stability tracking in utility power plant generators
- High-speed pump and large motor monitoring in oil, gas, and manufacturing sectors

Installation Guidelines
-
Inspection: Prior to installation, visually inspect the cable assembly for any signs of damage to the armor or the connector ends. Ensure the 3-socket plug is free of debris and pins are not bent.
-
Routing: Route the cable away from high-temperature surfaces and moving machinery parts. Avoid sharp bends that could compromise the integrity of the internal conductors or the protective armor.
-
Termination: Ensure terminal lugs are securely fastened to the monitoring system input terminals to prevent signal loss or intermittent readings.
-
Environment: While armored, the cable should be secured using appropriate cable ties or conduits to prevent vibration-induced fatigue at the connection points.
FAQ
What is the primary function of the 16710-82 cable?
It acts as a signal transmission path between accelerometers (such as the 330400 and 330425 series) and the associated monitoring system, ensuring accurate data collection for machinery protection.
What are the connector types on this cable?
The 16710-82 features a 3-socket plug at the sensor end and terminal ring lugs at the monitoring system end for secure, permanent connections.
Is this cable suitable for high-vibration environments?
Yes, the inclusion of flexible stainless steel armor makes this cable specifically suitable for harsh industrial environments where mechanical wear and vibration are present.
