3500/45 176449-04 Other Names:
Position Monitor 3500/45 176449-04
3500/45 176449-04 Channel Position Monitoring Module
The Bently Nevada 3500/45 176449-04 Position Monitor is a four-channel position monitoring device from Bently Nevada and a core component of the 3500 Series Machinery Protection System. This product focuses on real-time monitoring of key parameters such as axial displacement, differential expansion, and case expansion of rotating machinery (such as turbines, compressors, and fans). It compares input signals from sensors such as eddy current sensors and LVDTs with user-programmable alarm thresholds, enabling online protection and condition monitoring of the machinery. Designed to comply with API 670 standards, it is widely used in demanding industries such as power generation, petrochemicals, metallurgy, and papermaking.
High-Precision Measurement
Provides high-precision shaft position monitoring with micron-level accuracy, suitable for critical equipment such as turbines and compressors.
Supports vibration monitoring, enabling simultaneous analysis of mechanical vibration data to assess equipment health.
Multi-Channel and Compatibility
A four-channel design accepts inputs from sensors such as eddy current sensors, LVDTs (DC/AC), and rotary potentiometers.
Modular Design: Compatible with other 3500 series modules (such as vibration and speed monitoring modules), supporting integrated system construction.
Real-Time Monitoring and Alarming
Real-time data acquisition and analysis, supporting instant alarms (such as for excessive axial displacement and abnormal differential expansion).
Users can set alarm thresholds through the 3500 Framework Configuration Software, which supports comprehensive alarm outputs for critical values.
High Reliability
Compliant with API 670 standards, it is suitable for continuous online monitoring in industrial environments.
Designed with an emphasis on durability, it is suitable for heavy industries such as power generation, chemical engineering, and metallurgy.
