Description
Product Description
The Bently Nevada 3500/05-01-03-00-00-01 is a full-width 19-inch rack chassis engineered as the structural backbone of the 3500 Machinery Protection System. It provides the physical housing, electrical backplane distribution, and communication interconnection required for all monitoring, protection, and interface modules in the 3500 platform.
This rack serves as the central mounting platform for power supplies, monitoring modules, relay modules, communication gateways, and system interface components. It is designed for continuous operation in industrial environments requiring high reliability, modular expansion, and hot-swappable maintenance capability.
The configuration code “01-03-00-00-01” identifies a standard 19-inch chassis variant with factory-defined mechanical and backplane layout.
