Bently Nevada 200150-20-05 Accelerometer for Trendmaster 2000/Pro

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 200150-20-05 is a general purpose accelerometer designed for use with Trendmaster 2000 or Trendmaster Pro systems. Manufactured in the USA, this sensor provides reliable vibration measurement for a wide range of industrial machinery. The 200150-20-05 features a 3/8-24 thread mounting stud with a magnetic mount base, simplifying installation on ferrous surfaces. With multiple approvals including CSA, ATEX, and IECEx, it is suitable for use in hazardous environments.

Technical Specifications

Key specifications for the 200150-20-05 include a mounted resonant frequency greater than 20 kHz (>1200 kcpm) and a quiescent current of less than 800 µA. These parameters ensure accurate vibration sensing across a broad frequency range. The accelerometer is designed for general purpose applications, providing robust performance in demanding industrial settings.

Industry Applications

The Bently Nevada 200150-20-05 is ideal for condition monitoring of rotating equipment such as pumps, motors, fans, and compressors. Its high resonant frequency allows detection of both low and high frequency vibrations, making it suitable for predictive maintenance programs. The multiple approvals enable deployment in areas requiring safety certifications, including oil and gas, chemical processing, and power generation facilities.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Mount the 200150-20-05 using the 3/8-24 thread stud or magnetic base on a clean, flat surface. Ensure proper contact for optimal vibration transmission. Torque the mounting stud to manufacturer recommendations (2.7 to 6.8 N·m or 2 to 5 ft·lbf). Connect the accelerometer to a compatible Trendmaster 2000 or Trendmaster Pro monitoring system using the appropriate cable. Verify output bias voltage and quiescent current after installation to confirm proper operation.

Maintenance & Reliability

Periodically inspect the accelerometer and its mounting for signs of corrosion or loosening. The 316L stainless steel housing provides excellent resistance to harsh environments. Check cable connections for wear or damage. Regular calibration checks ensure measurement accuracy over time. Follow manufacturer guidelines for maintenance intervals based on operating conditions.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

When selecting the 200150-20-05, verify compatibility with your Trendmaster system and confirm the mounting thread requirement (3/8-24). The magnetic mount base offers flexibility for temporary or permanent installations. For complete technical specifications, please contact BluePLC Industrial.
