Bently Nevada 200152-25-00 Accelerometer Interface Standard Cable 25m

What Is the Bently Nevada 200152-25-00?

When harsh industrial environments demand reliable vibration data transmission, the Bently Nevada 200152-25-00 Accelerometer Interface Standard Cable delivers a robust connection. This 25-meter cable features a connector on the accelerometer end only, making it ideal for permanent installations where the cable runs directly from the accelerometer to a junction box or monitoring system. Part of the 200151 model family, this cable is engineered for durability and signal integrity in critical machinery protection applications.

Technical Specifications

Model: 200151 – Accelerometer Interface Standard Cable, Connector on Accelerometer End Only

Cable Length: 25 meters (specified as -25)

Coupling Nut: -00 Standard coupling nut

Construction: 4-conductor, 22 AWG with braided shield and drain wire (85% coverage, minimum), PVC outer jacket, nickel-plated coupling nuts

Minimum Bend Radius: 73.7 mm (2.9 in)

Operating Temperature Range: -20 ºC to +100 ºC (-4 ºF to +212 ºF). Cables may be used at lower temperatures if installation prevents flexing; flexing below -20 ºC may damage cables.

Seal: Connectors provide an IP67 seal to transducers and mating hardware. Connectors are molded to the cable. Addition of DC4 electrical insulating compound in connectors provides additional protection against moisture during thermal shock.

DC4 Cure Time: 24 hours

DC4 Temperature Range: -55 ºC to +121 ºC (-67 ºF to +250 ºF)

Industry Applications

In rotating machinery monitoring, the Bently Nevada 200152-25-00 connects accelerometers to vibration monitoring systems in applications such as steam turbines, compressors, pumps, and fans. The IP67 seal protects against moisture and dust ingress, making it suitable for outdoor or washdown environments. The 25-meter length allows flexible routing from the sensor to a safe mounting location for junction boxes or data acquisition units.

Installation Guidance

When installing the 200152-25-00, ensure the cable is routed with a bend radius greater than 73.7 mm (2.9 in) to prevent internal conductor damage. Secure the cable along its path using appropriate clamps or cable ties, avoiding sharp edges or abrasive surfaces. The coupling nut on the accelerometer end should be tightened to the manufacturer’s recommended torque to maintain the IP67 seal. If using DC4 electrical insulating compound, allow 24 hours cure time before exposing the connection to operational conditions.

Maintenance & Reliability

Regular visual inspection of the cable jacket and connectors is recommended to identify cuts, abrasions, or corrosion. The braided shield with 85% coverage ensures excellent noise immunity, but physical damage can compromise signal quality. For installations in extreme temperatures, verify that the cable is not flexed below -20 ºC to avoid permanent damage. The molded connector design reduces failure points compared to field-assembled connectors, improving long-term reliability.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

Before ordering the Bently Nevada 200152-25-00, confirm that your accelerometer requires a connector on the sensor end only and that a 25-meter cable length suits your installation. Verify compatibility with your monitoring system’s connector type. BluePLC Industrial stocks this cable and can assist with matching the correct part number to your application.
