Product introduction

The 106M1081-01 from Bently Nevada is a precision-engineered mounting adapter kit, specifically designed to ensure accurate and secure installation of velocity sensors in industrial machinery monitoring systems. As a critical accessory in Bently Nevada’s sensor mounting ecosystem, this adapter kit provides the mechanical stability and positional precision required to maintain measurement integrity in vibration monitoring applications.

Engineered for compatibility with Bently Nevada’s 330103 and 330104 series velocity sensors, the 106M1081-01 addresses the challenges of proper sensor positioning on machinery surfaces. Its adjustable design allows precise alignment of sensors relative to measurement points, ensuring optimal vibration transfer and consistent data collection. When paired with sensors like the 330104-00-05-10-02-CN and termination panels such as the 146031-02, this mounting kit forms an essential component of reliable machinery health monitoring systems in power generation, petrochemical, and manufacturing facilities.

Core advantages and technical highlights

Precision alignment capabilities: The 106M1081-01 features both angular (±5°) and vertical (0-10mm) adjustment ranges, enabling precise positioning of velocity sensors to ensure optimal contact with machinery surfaces. This adjustability compensates for surface irregularities and machining tolerances in equipment housings, ensuring the sensor maintains proper orientation for accurate vibration measurement. Proper alignment using this kit reduces measurement errors caused by off-axis vibration pickup.

High-integrity mounting: Constructed from 316 stainless steel, the adapter kit provides exceptional mechanical stability and vibration transfer characteristics critical for accurate measurement. The rigid mounting platform minimizes resonance and signal attenuation between the machinery surface and sensor, ensuring that subtle vibration patterns are faithfully transmitted to the sensor. This high-integrity mounting is essential for detecting early-stage machinery degradation.

Industrial durability: The 106M1081-01 is built to withstand harsh industrial environments, with 316 stainless steel components offering superior corrosion resistance compared to standard steel mounts. All hardware features zinc plating for additional protection, making the kit suitable for use in humid, caustic, or outdoor environments. The assembly maintains structural integrity across an extreme temperature range (-54°C to 177°C), ensuring reliable performance in high-heat applications like turbine monitoring.

System compatibility: Designed specifically for Bently Nevada’s 330103 and 330104 series velocity sensors, the 106M1081-01 ensures perfect mechanical interface between sensor and machinery. The kit’s mounting hole pattern matches industry-standard machinery access ports, simplifying installation on new and existing equipment. This compatibility eliminates the need for custom fabrication, reducing installation time and ensuring proper sensor performance.

Safety-rated design: The adapter kit’s robust construction and secure mounting hardware make it suitable for use in hazardous areas, compatible with ATEX Zone 2 classifications when installed with appropriate sensors. The non-sparking materials and secure fastening prevent 松动 under vibration, maintaining safety integrity in potentially explosive environments.

Typical application scenarios

In gas turbine power plants, the 106M1081-01 provides secure mounting for 330104-00-05-10-02-CN velocity sensors on turbine bearing housings. The adjustable design allows precise alignment even on curved or irregular surfaces, ensuring accurate vibration measurement from critical machinery components. The stainless steel construction withstands the high temperatures and occasional moisture exposure typical in turbine enclosures, maintaining mounting integrity over extended service intervals.

Within petrochemical refineries, the adapter kit is used to mount velocity sensors on compressor and pump bearing housings in corrosive environments. Its 316 stainless steel construction resists degradation from hydrocarbon vapors and cleaning agents, while the secure mounting prevents sensor movement that could compromise measurement accuracy. The kit’s compatibility with ATEX Zone 2 requirements allows safe installation in areas with potentially explosive atmospheres.

In manufacturing facilities, the 106M1081-01 ensures proper sensor positioning on motor and gearbox housings throughout production lines. The adjustable mounting compensates for variations in equipment surfaces, ensuring consistent measurement across identical machinery assets. This consistency enables meaningful comparison of vibration data between similar equipment, improving diagnostic accuracy and simplifying maintenance decision-making.

Installation, commissioning and maintenance instructions

Installation preparation: Before installing the 106M1081-01, ensure the machinery surface is clean, flat, and free of paint, corrosion, or debris. Verify the mounting location provides direct vibration transfer—typically within 150mm of bearing housings. Check that the surface can support the combined weight of the adapter kit and sensor (approximately 1.0kg). For hazardous area installations, confirm compatibility with zone classifications.

Mounting procedure: Secure the adapter plate to the machinery surface using the provided bolts, torquing to 12 Nm (8.85 ft-lbs) using a calibrated torque wrench. Attach the sensor to the adapter using the mounting stud, ensuring the sensor’s measurement axis is perpendicular to the machinery surface. Use the angular adjustment to align the sensor, then secure the position with jam nuts. Make final vertical positioning adjustments to ensure proper sensor clearance from rotating components, maintaining a minimum 2mm gap where required.

Alignment verification: After installation, verify sensor alignment using a spirit level or laser alignment tool to ensure the sensor axis is perpendicular to the vibration direction. Check that all hardware is properly torqued and that the sensor does not contact any rotating or moving parts. Power up the monitoring system and verify vibration signals are within expected ranges, adjusting sensor position if necessary to optimize signal quality.

Maintenance suggestions: Inspect the 106M1081-01 quarterly for signs of loose hardware, corrosion, or mechanical damage. Re-torque all bolts to specification during each inspection, as vibration can gradually loosen fasteners over time. Clean the adapter plate and sensor mounting surface annually to remove accumulated dirt or corrosion that could affect vibration transfer. In corrosive environments, inspect for pitting or material degradation and replace components if necessary to maintain mounting integrity.
