Bently Nevada 200150-17-05 General Purpose Accelerometer for Trendmaster Systems

Product Introduction

When vibration monitoring in rotating machinery demands reliable, accurate data from a rugged sensor, the Bently Nevada 200150-17-05 general purpose accelerometer delivers. Designed for use with Trendmaster 2000 or Trendmaster Pro systems, this accelerometer provides essential vibration measurements in industrial environments. Its compact, hermetically sealed 316L stainless steel housing withstands harsh conditions, while multiple approvals ensure compliance with global safety standards.

Technical Specifications

The 200150-17-05 is a general purpose accelerometer with a sensitivity of 10.2 mV/(m/s²) (100 mV/g) at 80 Hz. It offers a measurement range of ±245 m/s² (±25 g) and a frequency range of 10 to 1000 Hz (600 to 60,000 cpm). The mounted resonant frequency exceeds 20 kHz (>1200 kcpm), ensuring accurate readings across its operating band. Amplitude linearity is within ±2% (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 <800 µA and output bias voltage of +2.5 ± 0.23 Vdc. The accelerometer operates from -40 °C to +105 °C and withstands axial shock up to 49,050 m/s² pk (5,000 g pk).

Industry Applications

In a chemical processing plant, a pump bearing housing experiences high-frequency vibration that can lead to premature failure if undetected. The 200150-17-05 accelerometer mounts directly to the bearing housing using its 3/8-24 female thread. Its ceramic shear sensing element captures vibration data from 10 Hz to 1000 Hz, feeding the Trendmaster Pro system for continuous analysis. This early detection allows maintenance teams to schedule repairs before catastrophic failure, reducing unplanned downtime. Similarly, in a paper mill, the accelerometer monitors dryer roll bearings, where high humidity and temperature extremes challenge lesser sensors. The hermetically sealed 316L stainless steel construction and 100% condensing humidity rating ensure reliable operation in these demanding conditions.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Mount the 200150-17-05 accelerometer directly to the machine surface using the provided 3/8-24 female thread. Apply the specified mounting torque of 2.7 to 6.8 N•m (2 to 5 ft•lbf) to ensure proper coupling without damaging the sensor. The mounting stud option 17 includes a 3/8-24 to 3/8-16 UNC 1-3/8 inch hex plate stud for flexible installation. Allow 24 hours cure time if using adhesive mounting. Connect the sensor to the Trendmaster system using appropriate cabling, ensuring polarity matches (SIG+ positive with respect to SIG-). Verify output bias voltage within +2.5 ± 0.23 Vdc after installation.

Maintenance & Reliability

Periodically inspect the accelerometer and its mounting for signs of corrosion or loosening. The hermetically sealed design (5x10⁻⁸ atm•cc/s maximum leakage) protects internal components from moisture and contaminants. For long-term reliability, verify that the operating temperature stays within -40 °C to +105 °C. The 200150-17-05 requires no routine calibration, but system-level checks should follow manufacturer guidelines. If performance degrades, replace the sensor rather than attempting field repairs.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

Before ordering the 200150-17-05, confirm compatibility with your Trendmaster 2000 or Trendmaster Pro system. Verify the mounting thread matches your installation point (3/8-24 female). For applications requiring specific approvals, the 05 option includes CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications. Contact BluePLC Industrial for current availability and lifecycle status.
