Bently Nevada 3500/45 176449-04 Position Monitor Module

The Bently Nevada3500/45 176449-04 is a Position Monitor Module belonging to the 3500 Series Machinery Protection System.

This module is designed for applications where accurate mechanical position measurement is required. It continuously monitors position-related parameters and provides early warning of abnormal mechanical movement that may indicate thrust bearing problems, thermal expansion issues, or equipment alignment changes.

The 3500/45 supports configurable measurement functions including:

• Axial (Thrust) Position

• Differential Expansion

• Standard Single Ramp Differential Expansion

• Non-standard Single Ramp Differential Expansion

• Dual Ramp Differential Expansion

• Complementary Differential Expansion

• Case Expansion

• Valve Position

Each channel can be configured through 3500 Rack Configuration Software, allowing engineers to adapt monitoring functions according to machine requirements. 

Bently Nevada 3500/45 176449-04

Manufacturer:
Bently Nevada

Series:
3500 Machinery Protection System

Part Number:
