Product Description
The Bently Nevada 3500/40 176449-01 Proximitor Monitor is a four-channel vibration and position monitoring module designed for machinery protection and condition monitoring. It processes signals from proximity transducers, measures parameters such as radial vibration, thrust position, eccentricity, differential expansion, and REBAM, and compares them with programmable alarm setpoints. This ensures early detection of machinery issues, enabling timely maintenance and preventing costly downtime.
