Advantages and Characteristics

• High Precision Measurement: In a power generation plant, the BENTLY 3500/70M was used to monitor the vibration of a large steam turbine. With its high precision, it could detect even the slightest changes in vibration amplitude, down to 0.001 mils. This allowed operators to identify early signs of imbalance or misalignment in the turbine, enabling timely maintenance and preventing major breakdowns. As a result, the turbine’s uptime increased by 15% over a year, significantly improving the power plant’s overall efficiency.
• Advanced Data Analysis: The module is equipped with powerful data analysis algorithms. In an oil refinery, when monitoring the vibration of compressors, the BENTLY 3500/70M could analyze the frequency components of the vibration signals. It could distinguish between normal and abnormal vibration patterns, helping engineers to diagnose the root cause of potential issues. For example, it could identify if the vibration was due to mechanical wear, resonance, or other factors, reducing the troubleshooting time by about 30%.
• Reliability: The BENTLY 3500/70M has a rugged design and built-in self-diagnostic functions. In a continuous operation environment in a manufacturing factory, it has been running stably for more than 5 years without any major failures. Its reliable performance ensures that the machinery monitoring system remains functional, providing accurate data for decision-making.

Application Areas and Application Cases

• Application Areas: The BENTLY 3500/70M is widely applicable in industries such as power generation (steam turbines, generators), oil and gas (compressors, pumps), manufacturing (machine tools, motors), and aerospace (engine monitoring). It is used in scenarios where the health monitoring of rotating machinery is essential to ensure safety and productivity.
• Application Case: In an aerospace engine testing facility, the BENTLY 3500/70M was used to monitor the vibration of aircraft engines during test runs. The module accurately measured the vibration characteristics of the engine components. When a small abnormal vibration was detected, it was quickly identified as a potential issue with a bearing. Thanks to the early detection by the BENTLY 3500/70M, the engine could be repaired in a timely manner, preventing a more serious failure during actual flight operations and ensuring the safety of passengers and crew.
