Bently Nevada 3500/54 133396-01 Industrial Control Module

The Bently Nevada 3500/54 133396-01 is a specialized vibration monitoring module designed for industrial machinery protection. It converts sensor signals from rotating equipment into actionable data, enabling predictive maintenance by detecting imbalances, misalignments, or bearing wear before failures occur. Commonly deployed in power plants, refineries, and heavy manufacturing facilities.

Engineers often deploy this module in critical systems like steam turbines, centrifugal compressors, and large motors where vibration analysis directly impacts operational safety. For example, a plant technician shared that installing 3500/54 modules on gas turbine generators helped identify early-stage blade erosion, avoiding $500k+ in potential repairs. Our inventory includes related models such as 3500/22M, 3500/32, and 3500/44 for system expansion or retrofits.

The module’s dual output capability stands out—simultaneously transmitting 4-20 mA signals to DCS systems while triggering relays for emergency shutdowns. Its frequency response (10 Hz–1 kHz) captures both low-frequency rotor vibrations and high-frequency bearing defects. Unlike basic modules, the 3500/54 integrates self-diagnostics that flag sensor cable faults or power fluctuations, reducing false alarms. Compatibility with Bently’s 3500 framework ensures seamless data sharing across protection, condition monitoring, and balancing functions.
