Bently Nevada 3500/05-01-03-00-00-00 19-Inch System Rack

Product Description

The Bently Nevada 3500/05-01-03-00-00-00 System Rack is the mechanical and electrical foundation of the 3500 Machinery Protection System. It is designed to securely mount, power, and interconnect all 3500 series monitoring, communication, and power supply modules within a standardized 19-inch rack format.

This rack integrates a high-reliability backplane that distributes power and enables internal communication between installed modules. Precision slot alignment ensures correct module seating, consistent signal integrity, and long-term operational stability in critical rotating machinery applications.

The 3500/05 rack supports both AC and DC power supplies and allows redundant power configurations for uninterrupted machinery protection. Rear-side wiring access simplifies installation, troubleshooting, and future system expansion. Its rigid construction provides mechanical stability and effective airflow management for continuous industrial operation.
