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

Product Overview

When machinery vibration threatens uptime in rotating equipment, the Bently Nevada 200150-05-CN provides precise acceleration measurement for predictive maintenance. This general-purpose accelerometer is designed for use with Trendmaster 2000 or Trendmaster Pro systems. It delivers reliable vibration data for a wide range of industrial applications. Manufactured in the U.S.A., this sensor features a 3/8-24 to 1/4-28 UNF 1-3/8 inch hex plate stud mounting option and carries CN country-specific approvals.

Technical Specifications

The Bently Nevada 200150-05-CN offers a sensitivity of 10.2 mV/(m/s²) (100 mV/g) at 80 Hz, with a measurement range of ±245 m/s² (±25 g). Its frequency range spans 10 to 1000 Hz (600 to 60,000 cpm), referenced to 80 Hz. The mounted resonant frequency exceeds 20 kHz (>1200 kcpm). Amplitude linearity is ±2% from 1 to 10 g pk, and transverse sensitivity is ≤7%. Settling time is ≤300 ms. Excitation voltage ranges from 4.7 to 5.5 Vdc, with quiescent current less than 800 µA and output bias voltage of +2.5 ± 0.23 Vdc.

Industry Applications

This accelerometer excels in monitoring fans, pumps, compressors, and motors in industries such as oil and gas, power generation, and manufacturing. Its rugged design ensures reliable performance in harsh environments. For example, in a refinery, the 200150-05-CN can detect early bearing wear in critical pumps, allowing scheduled maintenance before unplanned shutdowns. Compared to lower-sensitivity sensors, this model provides superior resolution for low-level vibration analysis.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Mount the accelerometer using the provided 3/8-24 female thread. Apply the recommended 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 coupling. Connect the sensor to the Trendmaster system using appropriate cabling. Allow 24 hours cure time for adhesive mounting if applicable. Verify proper polarity: SIG+ positive with respect to SIG- for acceleration from base to connector.

Maintenance & Reliability

This accelerometer features hermetic sealing (5x10⁻⁸ atm·cc/s maximum) and operates in 100% relative humidity, condensing, non-submerged. The 316L stainless steel housing and connector resist corrosion. The ceramic shear sensing element provides long-term stability. Inspect the sensor periodically for physical damage or loose connections. Replace if output bias voltage drifts outside specifications. With proper care, this unit delivers years of reliable vibration monitoring.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

Before ordering, verify that your Trendmaster system supports this accelerometer model. Confirm the mounting stud option matches your installation requirements.
