3500/45 Module | Bently Nevada Displacement Monitoring Unit

Product Description

The Bently Nevada 3500/45 (Part No. 176449-04) is a Position Monitor Module designed for the 3500 Series Machinery Protection System. It provides precise measurement and monitoring of shaft position and displacement in critical rotating equipment. By receiving input from proximity probes, rotary position transducers (RPTs), linear variable differential transformers (LVDTs), and potentiometers, it ensures accurate and continuous feedback for machinery protection and performance diagnostics.

Engineered for use in turbines, compressors, and large industrial motors, the 3500/45 module supports two independent input channels, each configurable for alarm and trip outputs. The data captured by the module helps operators prevent equipment damage and enhance operational safety. Moreover, it integrates seamlessly with System 1® software, allowing real-time condition monitoring and advanced analytics for predictive maintenance.

This module’s rack-mounted design enables simple installation within the 3500 system chassis. It is built with industrial-grade reliability, ensuring consistent performance under demanding environmental conditions.
