Bently Nevada 200150-14-05 General Purpose Accelerometer for Trendmaster Systems

Product Introduction

When a rotating machinery monitoring system requires reliable vibration sensing in hazardous environments, the Bently Nevada 200150-14-05 provides a robust solution. This general purpose accelerometer is designed for use with Trendmaster 2000 or Trendmaster Pro systems, delivering accurate acceleration-to-velocity measurements for predictive maintenance programs. Manufactured in the U.S.A., this sensor combines proven sensing technology with multiple international approvals, making it suitable for global industrial applications.

Technical Specifications Breakdown

The 200150-14-05 accelerometer features a mounted resonant frequency greater than 20 kHz (>1200 kcpm), ensuring reliable performance across its operating range. Its quiescent current is less than 800 µA, indicating low power consumption suitable for continuous monitoring. The mounting stud option 14 specifies a 3/8-24 to 3/8-24 UNF thread with a 3/4 inch hex stud, providing secure attachment to machinery. Approvals include CSA, ATEX, and IECEx (option 05), enabling deployment in classified areas without additional certification work.

Industry Applications

In petrochemical plants, the 200150-14-05 monitors critical pumps and compressors, detecting early signs of bearing wear or imbalance. Its general purpose design suits applications where reliable vibration data is essential for scheduling maintenance and avoiding unplanned downtime. For power generation facilities, this accelerometer integrates with Trendmaster systems to track turbine and generator vibrations, supporting condition-based maintenance strategies that reduce operational costs.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Mount the 200150-14-05 using the provided 3/8-24 female thread, applying proper torque to ensure a solid mechanical connection. Use the 3/4 inch hex stud for wrench engagement. Connect the sensor to a compatible Trendmaster 2000 or Trendmaster Pro input module, verifying polarity: SIG+ positive with respect to SIG- for acceleration from base to connector. Allow the sensor to stabilize after installation before taking baseline readings.

Maintenance & Reliability

Regular inspection of the accelerometer and its mounting is recommended to ensure consistent data quality. Check for any signs of corrosion or physical damage, especially in harsh environments. The sensor's hermetically sealed construction protects against moisture and contaminants, contributing to long service life. Periodic verification of sensitivity and frequency response helps maintain measurement accuracy over time.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

Before ordering the 200150-14-05, confirm compatibility with your existing Trendmaster system and verify that the mounting stud option matches your machinery's thread requirements.
