Description
The Bently Nevada 3300/55 Dual Velocity Monitor is a critical component of the 3300 Series machinery protection system. It is engineered to provide continuous monitoring of casing vibration velocity by interfacing with Velomitor piezo-velocity sensors. This module features two independent channels that compare real-time vibration data against user-defined alarm setpoints, ensuring reliable protection for rotating equipment such as turbines, compressors, motors, and pumps.
Features
- Dual-channel velocity monitoring for independent vibration analysis.
- Compatible with standard Velomitor piezo-velocity sensors.
- Integrated alarm and danger relay outputs for automated machinery trip functions.
- Provides proportional 4-20 mA outputs for integration with external control and data acquisition systems.
- Designed for seamless integration into the 3300 rack-based monitoring architecture.
Applications
This monitor is primarily used in industrial environments for the protection of critical rotating machinery. It is suitable for monitoring casing vibration in high-speed turbines, centrifugal compressors, large industrial motors, and pumps where velocity-based vibration monitoring is required to detect mechanical degradation or imbalance.
