Bently Nevada 200150-03-05 General Purpose Accelerometer for Trendmaster Systems

Solving Vibration Monitoring Challenges in Harsh Industrial Environments

When a critical rotating machine begins to show subtle vibration changes, plant engineers need reliable data to prevent unplanned downtime. The Bently Nevada 200150-03-05 general purpose accelerometer delivers precise acceleration measurements for Trendmaster 2000 and Trendmaster Pro systems, even in challenging conditions. With multiple approvals including CSA, ATEX, and IECEx, this sensor is built for global use in hazardous areas.

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 200150-03-05 is a general purpose accelerometer designed for use with Trendmaster 2000 or Trendmaster Pro condition monitoring systems. Manufactured in the U.S.A., this sensor features a 3/8-24 to 1/2-20 UNF mounting stud with a 1-3/8 inch hex plate (option 03). The 05 approval option provides multiple certifications: CSA, ATEX, and IECEx, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial safety requirements.

Key Technical Specifications

Mounted Resonant Frequency: >20 kHz (>1200 kcpm), ensuring high-frequency response for early fault detection.

Quiescent Current: <800 µA, indicating low power consumption for continuous operation.

Mounting Stud Option: 03 = 3/8-24 to 1/2-20 UNF 1-3/8 inch hex plate stud for secure installation.

Approvals: 05 = Multiple Approvals (CSA, ATEX, and IECEx) for global hazardous area compliance.

Industry Applications

Oil & Gas Pipeline Monitoring

In remote pipeline compressor stations, the 200150-03-05 accelerometer provides reliable vibration data to Trendmaster systems. Its robust stainless steel housing and hermetic sealing withstand harsh weather and corrosive environments. The multiple approvals simplify compliance for international projects.

Power Generation Turbine Monitoring

Steam and gas turbines require precise vibration monitoring to detect bearing wear or imbalance early. The accelerometer's high resonant frequency (>20 kHz) captures high-frequency signals that indicate developing faults, helping maintenance teams schedule repairs before catastrophic failure.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Mount the 200150-03-05 using the provided 3/8-24 female thread with a mounting torque of 2.7 to 6.8 N•m (2 to 5 ft•lbf). Ensure the mounting surface is clean and flat for optimal signal transmission. The sensor uses a 3/8-24 to 1/2-20 UNF stud adapter for versatile installation. Connect to a Trendmaster 2000 or Trendmaster Pro system using the appropriate cable (not included). Allow 24 hours cure time for any adhesive mounting if used.

Maintenance & Reliability

This accelerometer requires minimal maintenance due to its hermetically sealed design. Periodically inspect the cable and connector for damage. Verify the mounting torque annually or after any machine maintenance that could disturb the sensor. The 316L stainless steel housing provides excellent corrosion resistance in most industrial environments.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

Before ordering the 200150-03-05, verify compatibility with your Trendmaster system version. Confirm the mounting thread requirement matches your machine's mounting point.
