Bently Nevada 70M303 | Triaxial Wireless Vibration & Temperature Sensor

Shopify Product Title:
Bently Nevada 70M303 | Triaxial Wireless Vibration & Temperature Sensor | ISA100 | Condition Monitoring for Rotating Machinery

Product Description

The Bently Nevada 70M303 is a high-performance triaxial wireless condition monitoring sensor, designed to provide real-time monitoring of vibration and temperature on rotating industrial machinery. Ideal for low-to-medium criticality assets, the 70M303 eliminates the need for expensive cabling and installation, offering an efficient solution for applications where traditional wired sensors would be difficult or cost-prohibitive to install.

This triaxial accelerometer simultaneously captures vibration data in three orthogonal axes (X, Y, Z) and provides temperature monitoring of the machinery's surface, enabling operators to gain a holistic view of the equipment's health. With the ISA100.11a wireless protocol, the 70M303 transmits this data to a gateway for analysis in Bently Nevada’s System 1 software, supporting predictive maintenance efforts and early detection of potential failures.

Key Features

• Wireless Convenience:
  The 70M303 eliminates the need for traditional wired connections, reducing installation complexity and costs while maintaining continuous condition monitoring.

• Triaxial Vibration Monitoring:
  This sensor simultaneously monitors horizontal, vertical, and axial vibration, offering a comprehensive understanding of the machinery's mechanical health.

• Integrated Temperature Monitoring:
  Along with vibration, the 70M303 tracks surface temperature, providing insight into both the thermal and mechanical condition of the asset.

• Long Battery Life:
  Equipped with a replaceable lithium-thionyl chloride battery, the 70M303 can operate for up to 5 years depending on reporting intervals, offering a low-maintenance solution for continuous monitoring.

• Hazardous Area Certification:
  Designed to withstand harsh environments, the 70M303 is certified for use in Class I, Division 1 (Intrinsic Safety) hazardous locations.
