BENTLY 3500/22M 138607-01AE Proximitor Interface Module
Product Overview: BENTLY 3500/22M 138607-01AE
The BENTLY 3500/22M 138607-01AE Proximitor Interface Module is a high-precision industrial component designed for mechanical health monitoring in Bently Nevada’s 3500 Series Machinery Health Monitoring System. As a core module within this advanced platform, the 3500/22M 138607-01AE converts proximity probe signals into standardized outputs for real-time vibration and displacement analysis, enabling early fault detection in rotating equipment such as turbines, compressors, and motors. Engineered for reliability in harsh industrial environments, this module bridges the gap between eddy current probes and monitoring systems, delivering critical data to support predictive maintenance strategies.
Featuring dual-channel input capability, the 3500/22M 138607-01AE supports simultaneous monitoring of two proximity probes (e.g., 106M1081-01), each with a linear measurement range of 0–2 mm. Its 7.87 V/mm sensitivity ensures precise detection of shaft vibrations, while built-in signal conditioning filters out noise for accurate analysis. The module’s hot-swappable design allows replacement without system shutdown, minimizing downtime, and its -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range ensures resilience in extreme conditions. Compatible with 3500 Rack enclosures (e.g., 3500/05), the 3500/22M 138607-01AE forms a vital link in automation systems, translating mechanical movements into actionable insights for operational efficiency.
