Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada P3403893-0416 Vibration Transmitter is a precision-engineered industrial vibration measurement device designed to convert dynamic vibration signals into standardized process outputs for monitoring and control systems. Developed by Bently Nevada, a global leader in machinery condition monitoring and asset protection, this transmitter plays a critical role in ensuring the reliability and safety of rotating equipment in industries such as oil and gas, petrochemical, power generation, and heavy manufacturing.
The P3403893-0416 vibration transmitter simplifies condition monitoring by providing a 4–20 mA output proportional to the measured vibration level. This output can be directly integrated into DCS (Distributed Control Systems), PLC (Programmable Logic Controllers), or SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems, enabling operators to observe machine vibration without requiring a dedicated vibration monitoring rack.
It supports a variety of sensor inputs, including accelerometers, velocity sensors, and proximity probes, depending on configuration. The transmitter performs real-time signal conditioning—amplifying, filtering, and converting raw vibration signals into process-ready analog outputs. Its robust housing and industrial-grade construction allow it to perform reliably in harsh environments with high temperatures, humidity, and electromagnetic interference.
The P3403893-0416 is ideal for applications where continuous, simplified vibration measurement is essential for predictive maintenance and early fault detection, helping to minimize downtime and extend the lifespan of critical assets.
