BENTLY 3500/40M 176449-01 Proximitor™ Vibration Monitoring Module
Product Overview: BENTLY 3500/40M 176449-01
The BENTLY 3500/40M 176449-01 Proximitor™ vibration monitoring module is a high-precision industrial component designed for real-time mechanical health assessment in critical rotating equipment. As a core component of Bently Nevada’s 3500 Series Machinery Health Monitoring System, this module converts proximity probe signals into standardized outputs for vibration analysis, enabling early detection of faults such as misalignment, bearing wear, or imbalance. The 3500/40M 176449-01 integrates advanced eddy current technology with rugged hardware to deliver reliable performance in harsh industrial environments, from power plant turbines to offshore compressors.
Engineered for accuracy and durability, the 3500/40M 176449-01 supports two independent channels for simultaneous monitoring of shaft vibration and displacement. Its 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil) sensitivity and 0–2 mm linear measurement range ensure precise data acquisition, while dual redundant power inputs (24V DC) and hot-swappable design minimize downtime during maintenance. The module’s -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range and IP20 protection rating make it suitable for demanding applications, while its Modbus RTU/TCP communication interface enables seamless integration with distributed control systems (DCS) and supervisory control networks.
Within automation ecosystems, the 3500/40M 176449-01 acts as a cornerstone of predictive maintenance strategies, providing critical data to support real-time diagnostics and proactive equipment care. Its compatibility with Bently Nevada’s 3500 Rack enclosures (e.g., 3500/05) and compliance with API 670 standards positions it as an essential tool for industries requiring uninterrupted operation and minimal unplanned downtime.
