The 3500/40M Proximitor Monitor from Bently Nevada provides four-channel monitoring for proximity transducers. It delivers precise vibration, position, and differential expansion measurements. This system supports programmable alarm functions for machinery protection and provides critical data to operations teams.
Key Functions
- Radial Vibration: Measures shaft vibrations in multiple modes.
- Thrust Position: Detects axial movement of rotating machinery.
- Differential Expansion: Monitors temperature-induced structural expansion.
- Eccentricity: Evaluates rotor alignment and imbalance.
- REBAM® (Rolling Element Bearing Analysis Monitor): Detects bearing defects and performance trends.
Channels can be configured in pairs to perform up to two functions simultaneously.
