The Bently Nevada 3300/20-XX-03-01-00-00 is a device designed to monitor the axial position of a rotating shaft. It provides early warning of thrust bearing failure by detecting changes in shaft position relative to axial clearances.

Key Features

• Continuous Monitoring: Measures and monitors two independent channels of shaft axial position continuously.
• Early Warning: Detects changes in shaft position to indicate abnormal wear or damage, providing early warning of potential thrust bearing failure.
• Dual Channels: Offers redundancy and increased reliability with dual channels.
• Wide Range of Applications: Suitable for turbines, pumps, compressors, and fans.

Typical Applications

• Turbines: Monitors the axial position of the turbine rotor to detect bearing wear or damage.
• Pumps: Checks the axial position of the pump shaft to detect bearing wear, damage, and cavitation.
• Compressors: Monitors the axial position of the compressor shaft for bearing wear, damage, and seal leaks.
• Fans: Assesses the axial position of the fan shaft to detect bearing wear or damage.

Benefits

• Early Detection of Problems: Identifies issues with the thrust bearing before they cause catastrophic failure.
• Reduced Downtime: Helps minimize downtime and maintenance costs by detecting problems early.
• Increased Safety: Enhances safety by providing early warnings of potential failures that could lead to equipment damage or injury.
