Description
BENTLY 3500/50 286566-02 Tachometer Module
1. Product DescriptionThe
BENTLY 3500/50 286566-02 is a high-performance tachometer module designed for precise speed monitoring in rotating machinery. As part of the
BENTLY 3500 Series, it supports dual-channel operation, enabling simultaneous measurement of rotational speed from two independent sources. The module uses magnetic probes to detect frequency changes in speed signals, delivering ±0.1% accuracy for critical applications such as pumps, compressors, and turbines. With configurable alarm thresholds and Modbus/ Ethernet connectivity, it integrates seamlessly with industrial control systems for predictive maintenance.
