Bently Nevada 3500/63-01-00 | Axis Position Monitor in 3500 Series

· Single channel design, capable of receiving signals from proximity probes such as eddy current sensors. This type of sensor can accurately measure the distance changes 

between the shaft surface and the probe, which is crucial for monitoring the position of the shaft.

· The input signal range is generally+10.0V to -24.0V, and the module will limit signals that exceed this range internally to ensure the accuracy and stability of signal 

processing.

· For axis position measurement, it can be accurate to the micrometer level, and the measurement range depends on the connected sensors and specific application 

scenarios, usually meeting the requirements of most rotating machinery axis position monitoring. For example, high-precision position data can be provided when 

monitoring the axial displacement of large steam turbine shafts.

· Usually powered by 24V DC, it can operate normally within a certain voltage fluctuation range (such as 18-30V DC) to adapt to the fluctuation of power supply in industrial 

sites.

· The working temperature range is generally -30 ° C to+65 ° C, the storage temperature is -40 ° C to+85 ° C, and the humidity is 95% non condensing. It has good dust 

prevention, shock resistance, and electromagnetic interference resistance characteristics, and can adapt to harsh industrial environments, such as stable operation in steel 

plants, chemical plants, and other environments.

· Equipped with a relay output interface, when the monitored axis position parameter exceeds the set threshold, an alarm signal can be triggered to control external devices 

through relay output, such as triggering an alarm light or shutting down the system. There may also be analog output interfaces for outputting axis position data to other 

monitoring devices or control systems, such as outputting 4-20mA analog signals.

· Mainly used to monitor the shaft position of rotating machinery such as steam turbines, compressors, pumps, etc. In steam turbines, precise monitoring of axial and radial 

displacement of the shaft is necessary. Excessive axial displacement may cause friction between moving and stationary components, while abnormal radial displacement may 

indicate shaft bending or bearing failure. By monitoring the axis position in real-time, potential issues can be identified in a timely manner to prevent equipment damage.

· Abnormal changes in axis position are often early signals of rotating mechanical failures. Through the monitoring data of the 3500/63-01-00 module, technicians can analyze 

the trend of shaft position changes and predict possible faults, such as shaft misalignment and bearing wear. Taking maintenance measures before a malfunction occurs can greatly reduce equipment downtime and repair costs.

· This module can be integrated with other monitoring modules of the Bently Nevada 3500 series (such as vibration monitoring module, temperature monitoring module, etc.) 

as well as external control systems (such as DCS, PLC). When the axis position is abnormal, it can work together with other modules, for example, by combining vibration data 

to determine the severity of the fault, and triggering corresponding protective actions through the automation control system, such as automatic shutdown or adjusting 

equipment operating parameters, to ensure the safe operation of the equipment.
