Description

Product Overview

The 3500/05-02-04-00-00-01 is a compact, rack-mount chassis from Bently Nevada’s 3500 machinery protection series. Designed for installations where space is limited, this mini-rack accommodates up to seven modules, providing the structural frame and electrical backplane for continuous machinery protection. Its rear-access wiring configuration simplifies installation in control cabinets and skid-mounted equipment.

This chassis supports full integration of Rack Interface Modules (RIM), power supplies, monitors, relays, and communication modules, ensuring complete API‑670-compliant vibration monitoring for small-footprint systems.
