Bently Nevada 200150-15-05 General Purpose Trendmaster Accelerometer

Product Introduction

When reliable vibration monitoring is critical for rotating machinery, the Bently Nevada 200150-15-05 provides a robust sensing solution. This general purpose accelerometer is designed for use with Trendmaster 2000 or Trendmaster Pro systems, offering dependable performance in industrial environments. Manufactured in the USA, it features multiple approvals including CSA, ATEX, and IECEx, ensuring compliance with global safety standards.

Technical Specifications

The 200150-15-05 accelerometer is built for general vibration measurement applications. Key specifications include a mounted resonant frequency greater than 20 kHz (>1200 kcpm) and a quiescent current of less than 800 µA. The mounting stud option is 15, which provides a 3/8-24 to 3/8-16 UNC adapter with a 3/4 inch hex stud for flexible installation. These parameters ensure accurate data collection and reliable operation in demanding conditions.

Industry Applications

This accelerometer is ideal for monitoring vibration on pumps, motors, fans, compressors, and other rotating equipment in industries such as oil and gas, power generation, and manufacturing. Its general purpose design makes it suitable for both continuous and periodic monitoring programs. When used with Trendmaster systems, it helps detect early signs of bearing wear, imbalance, or misalignment, enabling proactive maintenance and reducing unplanned downtime.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Proper mounting is essential for accurate vibration readings. The 200150-15-05 uses a 3/8-24 female mounting thread. The included stud option allows adaptation to 3/8-16 UNC threads. Apply the recommended mounting torque to ensure a secure mechanical connection. For best results, mount the accelerometer on a flat, clean surface directly on the bearing housing or machine casing. Avoid mounting on thin panels or resonant structures that could distort measurements.

Maintenance & Reliability

Routine inspection of the accelerometer and its cable connections helps maintain measurement accuracy. Check for physical damage, corrosion, or loose mounting periodically. The hermetically sealed design protects against moisture and contaminants, contributing to long-term reliability in harsh environments. For critical applications, consider periodic recalibration to verify sensitivity remains within specification.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

Before purchasing the 200150-15-05, verify compatibility with your existing Trendmaster 2000 or Trendmaster Pro system. Confirm the mounting thread requirements and cable length needed for your installation. BluePLC Industrial offers this accelerometer with fast shipping and expert support.
