Machinery Speed Monitoring Solution – Bently Nevada 3500/50 133388-02 | 3500 Series
Where This Product Is Used
The Bently Nevada 3500/50 Tachometer Module (P/N 133388-02) is a core component of the 3500 Series Machinery Protection System, purpose-built for continuous speed and overspeed monitoring in rotating machinery across critical industrial environments:
- Steam & Gas Turbines – Real-time shaft speed tracking and overspeed trip protection in power generation plants
- Centrifugal & Axial Compressors – Speed monitoring for surge prevention and process control in oil & gas facilities
- Pumps & Fans – Rotational speed feedback for variable-speed drive systems in water treatment and HVAC
- Gearboxes & Expanders – Multi-channel speed ratio monitoring in petrochemical and refinery applications
- Marine Propulsion Systems – Shaft RPM monitoring for vessel drive trains and auxiliary machinery

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the 3500/50 133388-02 replace an older 3500/50 with a different suffix (e.g., -01)?
A: Suffix variants may differ in firmware revision or hardware configuration. Always verify compatibility with your rack configuration file before substitution. Contact us for cross-reference support.
Q: Does this module support Keyphasor® inputs?
A: The 3500/50 accepts standard tachometer signals. Keyphasor® functionality is handled by the dedicated 3500/25 Keyphasor Module in the same rack.
Q: Is the 3500/50 compatible with System 1 Evolution software?
A: Yes. The module integrates with both legacy System 1 and System 1 Evolution (S1Evo) platforms via the 3500 rack communication gateway.
Q: What probe types are compatible?
A: The module accepts signals from eddy-current proximity probes (3300/3500 series Proximitors), passive magnetic pickups, and active Hall-effect sensors.
Q: Can I use this module for overspeed trip in a SIL 2 loop?
A: The 3500/50 is SIL 1 capable as a single module. SIL 2 architectures require redundant voting configurations — consult your functional safety engineer and Bently Nevada’s SIL documentation.
