Description

Product Description

The BENTLY 3500/05-01-03-00-00-00 is a specialized rack/ chassis assembly designed as the foundational component for Bently Nevada’s 3500 Series machinery protection systems. The 3500 Series is the industry-leading platform for continuous monitoring and protection of critical rotating equipment including steam turbines, gas turbines, compressors, pumps, and generators. The BENTLY 3500/05 rack serves as the physical and electrical backbone for the entire monitoring system, providing mechanical support and power distribution for all installed modules including power supplies, monitors, communication modules, and I/O modules. The suffix digits represent specific configuration options: the first group likely indicates power supply configuration, the second may indicate rack size or slot count, and subsequent digits represent additional options such as communication interfaces or special features. The BENTLY 3500/05 rack is designed for installation in standard 19-inch instrument racks or cabinets, providing a rugged foundation for continuous operation in the demanding environments of power plants, compressor stations, and industrial facilities.
