Bently Nevada vb and SCOUT100 Series

Based on a design with a proven track record of quality and

innovation, the vb and SCOUT series data collectors, analyzers

and balancers have been engineered from the ground up to offer

leading-edge reliability, accuracy and usability.

The vb and SCOUT platforms bring industry-leading Bently

Nevada condition monitoring expertise to the world of portable

data collection and analysis, giving you access to a dependable,

efficient, and cost-effective condition monitoring solution that is

deployable across your entire plant.

Easy and efficient up to four-channel capability

The SCOUT100-EX and SCOUT140-EX analyzers offer the power

and convenience of dual- or four-channel measurement

and dual-plane balancing. The balancing function enables

quick diagnosis and correction of dynamic unbalance,

the most common form of unbalance. vb and SCOUT’s

combination of accuracy, intuitive operation, ease of use

and outstanding storage capacity enables our analyzers to

deliver a premium return on investment.

The vb and SCOUT series are compatible with powerful software

solutions—System 1™ Evolution and Ascent™.
