Bently Nevada 200150-06-05 General Purpose Accelerometer for Trendmaster Systems

Product Introduction

When vibration monitoring is critical for rotating machinery health, the Bently Nevada 200150-06-05 provides precise acceleration measurements for general purpose applications. This accelerometer is part of the Trendmaster 2000 or Trendmaster Pro family, designed to deliver reliable data for predictive maintenance programs. Manufactured in the USA, it combines robust construction with field-proven sensing technology.

Technical Specifications Breakdown

The 200150-06-05 offers a mounted resonant frequency exceeding 20 kHz (>1200 kcpm), ensuring accurate high-frequency vibration capture. Its quiescent current is less than 800 µA, indicating low power consumption for continuous monitoring. The mounting stud option 06 provides a 3/8-24 to 1/4 NPT adapter with a 3/4 inch hex stud, simplifying installation on various machine surfaces. Multiple approvals (CSA, ATEX, and IECEx) allow deployment in hazardous environments globally.

Industry Applications

This accelerometer excels in monitoring pumps, fans, compressors, and motors in industries such as oil and gas, petrochemical, power generation, and manufacturing. Its wide frequency range and high resonant frequency make it suitable for detecting bearing faults, imbalance, and misalignment in rotating equipment. The general purpose rating ensures compatibility with standard industrial environments without special handling.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Mount the 200150-06-05 using the provided 3/8-24 female thread and apply the recommended mounting torque range (2.7 to 6.8 N•m or 2 to 5 ft•lbf) for optimal coupling. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and flat to avoid signal degradation. Connect the accelerometer to a compatible Trendmaster 2000 or Trendmaster Pro monitor using the appropriate cable and connector. After installation, allow the unit to stabilize for 24 hours before taking baseline measurements.

Maintenance & Reliability

The 200150-06-05 features a hermetically sealed 316L stainless steel housing that withstands harsh conditions, including 100% condensing humidity. Its ceramic shear sensing element provides long-term stability and resistance to thermal variations. Periodic inspection of the mounting integrity and cable condition is recommended to maintain measurement accuracy. No internal adjustments or cleaning are required, reducing maintenance overhead.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

Before purchasing the 200150-06-05, verify that your monitoring system supports Trendmaster 2000 or Trendmaster Pro accelerometer inputs. Confirm the mounting thread compatibility with your equipment (3/8-24 female). For applications requiring specific approvals, note that option 05 includes CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications.
