Bently Nevada 3500/22-01-02-00 Transient Data Interface Module

The Bently Nevada 3500/22-01-02-00 Transient Data Interface Module is a key component in the Bently Nevada 3500 Series machinery protection system. This module specializes in capturing transient vibration events — short, rapid changes in vibration that indicate early-stage faults such as bearing defects, shaft rubbing, or impacts. The ability to monitor these fleeting signals allows maintenance teams to detect mechanical issues before they escalate into costly failures.

Designed to seamlessly integrate into the 3500 Series platform, the 3500/22-01-02-00 module ensures accurate data capture and reliable communication between vibration sensors and control systems. Its robust build and proven performance make it well-suited for demanding industries like power generation, oil and gas, petrochemical, and manufacturing, where early fault detection is critical for maintaining equipment uptime and operational safety.
