Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada 3500/25 125800-01 + 149369-01 Enhanced Keyphasor Module is a critical component of the 3500 Machinery Protection System, specifically designed to deliver high-precision rotational phase reference signals for use in advanced vibration analysis and dynamic balancing.
This enhanced module represents a significant improvement over the standard Keyphasor configurations by offering expanded signal processing capabilities, dual-channel functionality, and greater flexibility in sensor input types. The 3500/25 Enhanced Keyphasor Module provides Keyphasor signals that enable the system to determine the rotational position of a shaft, which is essential in diagnostics like Bode plots, orbit plots, and shaft centerline monitoring.
It plays a vital role in high-speed rotating machinery applications where real-time accuracy is critical—such as turbines, compressors, and generators—especially in industries like oil & gas, power generation, and petrochemical processing. The module’s performance, stability, and configurability make it an industry-standard solution for phase-based machine analysis.
