SCOUT Portable Vibration Analyzers

main-portable-scout100

 

Based on a design with a proven track record of quality and innovation, Bently Nevada's all-new SCOUT series data collector, analyzer and balancer has been engineered from the ground up to offer leading-edge reliability, accuracy and usability.

 

The SCOUT platform offers the power and convenience of dual- or four-channel measurement and dual-plane balancing to support all your plant condition monitoring needs from route-based data collection to machinery analysis and balancing. Its balancing functions enable the quick diagnosis and correction of dynamic unbalance, the most common form of unbalance.

 

SCOUT's combination of accuracy, intuitive operation, ease of use and outstanding storage capacity ensures our analyzers deliver a premium return on investment and one of the lowest total costs of ownerships in the industry. SCOUT also includes the powerful Ascent® software in the purchase price.
