Bently Nevada has a history of protecting equipment and keeping an eye on its condition. The product range from Bently Nevada has the ability to continuously monitor and protect a variety of equipment assets. The Bently Nevada 3500 System offers ongoing online monitoring appropriate for equipment protection applications and gathers machine data as part of an extensive preventive maintenance program for both field diagnostics and test stand use.

Industry depends on essential machinery every hour of every day, whether it is for power generation, compressing and pumping fluids, or powering process equipment. Failure of the machinery can be disastrous in certain circumstances, in addition to being inconvenient.

While the expense of repairs alone can be exorbitant, the partial or even complete loss of output brought on by key machinery failure — which can often cost millions per day — can be the difference between a year’s worth of profits and losses. Mechanical condition monitoring is not simply a good idea given the stakes; it is absolutely essential.

The ability to predict and avoid mechanical breakdowns by continuously monitoring vital asset parameters including vibration, temperature, speed, and a variety of other status indicators has been demonstrated in tens of thousands of industrial facilities worldwide by providing advantages such:

• Enhanced defense against catastrophic failures.
• Improved availability and dependability of machinery.
• Reduced procedure pauses
• Better planning for maintenance and outages.
• Lower expenditures for maintenance and repairs.
• Greater time between outages.
