Smart Sensors, Smarter Insights: Bently Nevada in Action

2025-11-19
Introduction

If you’ve ever wondered how huge machines in power plants, refineries, or offshore platforms stay running smoothly, the answer often lies in Bently Nevada. Part of Baker Hughes, Bently Nevada provides condition monitoring systems that keep a close eye on industrial machinery, alert operators to potential issues, and help prevent costly downtime.

Using industrial equipment monitoring and machine health monitoring, companies can catch problems early, extend the life of their machines, and improve safety. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at how Bently Nevada works, what products they offer, and why their solutions are making a real difference in industry today.


How Bently Nevada Protects Your Machinery

One of the main benefits of Bently Nevada is its condition monitoring capability. These systems track vibration, temperature, and other key parameters on critical machines like pumps, compressors, and turbines. When something goes wrong — even slightly — the system sends an alert so operators can act before a small issue becomes a major failure.

For example, Bently Nevada’s Remote Monitoring and Diagnostics (RMD) center in Singapore monitors machines across Asia-Pacific. Expert engineers use the data from machine health monitoring to give actionable advice without the need for constant on-site presence. This saves money, reduces risk, and ensures continuous operation. (hydrocarbonprocessing.com)

The Orbit 60 Series from Bently Nevada adds another layer of safety. It features a Condition Monitoring Module (CMM) that can only read data but cannot alter protection systems, ensuring that industrial equipment monitoring is secure. (bakerhughes.com)

Other advantages include:

  • Predictive maintenance through continuous machine health monitoring

  • Extended equipment life by reducing unexpected wear

  • Scalable installation using Bently Nevada 3500 Series expansion modules

  • Safe integration of industrial IoT sensors into plant networks

By combining industrial equipment monitoring, machine health monitoring, and remote expert services, Bently Nevada helps businesses prevent failures, reduce costs, and operate more reliably. For operators, it’s peace of mind. For plants, it’s smarter, safer, and more efficient machinery management.


Bentley Nevada includes a wide range of product lines,For example:


3300 XL 8 mm Eddy Current Sensor System

This eddy current sensor system offers a linear range of up to 80 mils (2 mm) and an output value of 200 mV/mil. It is designed to address critical issues in mechanical monitoring applications such as radial vibration, axial (thrust) position

, velocity, and phase (Keyphasor®) measurements, and meets the requirements of American Petroleum Institute Standard 670, Version 4.


3300 5 mm Proximity Probe System

Provides accurate and stable signal output across a wide temperature range, with a linear range of up to 80 mils (2 mm) and an output value of 200 mV/mil. It is suitable for both static (position) and dynamic (vibration) measurements and is primarily 

used for vibration and position measurement applications in liquid diaphragm bearing machinery, as well as Keyphasor® measurement and velocity applications.



330500 Velomitor® Bentley Nevada Piezoelectric Velocity Sensor

This is a general-purpose velocity sensor for frequencies between 4.5 and 5000 Hz.

330525 Velomitor® XA Bentley Nevada Piezoelectric Velocity Sensor .Our environmentally demanding 330500 Velomitor® sensor is designed for enclosure-less applications with NEMA 4X and IP65 ratings. The sensor's mounting

 bolts are pipe-threaded, eliminating the need for a flush mounting base 

with the chassis and the special surface treatments required by other velocity sensors, thus reducing installation costs.

 

3500 series monitors 

The 3500 series monitors are trusted products tested by countless users worldwide. The 3500 system provides continuous online monitoring for machinery protection applications. 

It is the most powerful and flexible system in our framework-based system, possessing many features and functionalities not

 found in other systems.
