Daniel Brooks –
The 3500/40M-01-00 proximitor monitor module was purchased for a refinery vibration monitoring upgrade. The module was 100% new and matched the original OEM specifications perfectly. PowerGearX provided fast shipping and responsive support, which made a big difference during our tight maintenance window. After installation, the proximitor signals were clean and accurate, allowing us to fine-tune shaft position monitoring on critical pumps. This module plays a key role in preventing unplanned downtime. We’ve worked with several suppliers before, and the service level here was clearly above average. Everything from packaging to documentation was handled professionally.
