Information

Overview Manuals Common Applications Product Precautions
The 3500/72M 149734-08 135489-01 is an Enhanced Reciprocating Rod Drop Monitor specifically designed for reciprocating compressors. By high-precision monitoring of the piston rod's vertical displacement, it provides real-time assessment of rider band wear and delivers critical alarms and safety interlocks, preventing catastrophic contact between the piston and cylinder wall. It serves as a core component for the predictive maintenance of reciprocating machinery. 
    • Rod distance monitoring
    • A single module typically provides 4 channels
    • Set "Warning" and "Danger" limits based on the displacement of the pole spacing
The four-channel Bently Nevada 3500/72M Recip Rod Position Monitor accepts input from proximity transducers, conditions the signal to provide dynamic and static position measurements, and compares the conditioned signals with user-programmable alarms. Each channel, depending on how you configure it, typically conditions its input signal to generate various parameters called measured values.

Monitoring Reciprocating High-Pressure Pumps that drive saltwater through filtration membranes.
 When using the Bently Nevada 3500/72M combination, it is essential to ensure strict phase synchronization with the Keyphasor signal to obtain accurate average rod drop readings. Special attention should be paid to the installation angle of the sensor probe relative to the piston rod and the periodic calibration of the rider band wear factor. Additionally, the stability of the sensor gap voltage must be closely monitored to prevent signal drift caused by dynamic impacts or mechanical loosening during reciprocating motion, which could trigger nuisance system alarms.
