Bently Nevada 200350-00-00-00 Accelerometer: High-Performance Vibration Sensor

Product Introduction

When unexpected machinery vibrations threaten production uptime, the Bently Nevada 200350-00-00-00 accelerometer provides the precision and durability needed for continuous condition monitoring. This 200350 series sensor is engineered for demanding industrial applications, offering a sensitivity of 100 mV/g ±20% and a measurement range of ±50g. Manufactured in the U.S.A., this accelerometer is built to withstand harsh conditions with a stainless steel housing and welded hermetic sealing.

Technical Specifications Breakdown

The Bently Nevada 200350-00-00-00 excels with a frequency response of 30 to 600,000 cpm (0.5 to 10,000 Hz) at ±3 dB, ensuring accurate detection of both low-speed and high-speed machinery faults. Its broadband electrical noise is exceptionally low at 350 μg (3,434 μm/s²) over the 1–10 kHz range, enabling clear signal acquisition even in electrically noisy environments. The output bias voltage sits between 8 and 12 VDC, while the excitation voltage ranges from 18 to 28 VDC with a constant current excitation of 2 to 20 mA. The settling time is just 2.0 seconds within 1% of bias, and the output impedance is less than 150 ohms, facilitating easy integration with monitoring systems.

Industry Applications

This accelerometer is ideal for rotating machinery monitoring in industries such as oil and gas, power generation, and manufacturing. Its wide frequency range and high shock survivability (5,000 g pk) make it suitable for pumps, compressors, turbines, and fans. The IP68 enclosure rating allows operation in condensing humidity and non-submerged wet conditions, ensuring reliable performance in outdoor or washdown environments. The ceramic shear sensing element provides excellent stability and linearity (±1%) over the measurement range.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Mount the 200350-00-00-00 using the 1/4-28 female thread with a maximum torque of 2 to 5 ft-lb (2.7 to 6.8 N-m). The mounting stud option (¼-28 SS with brass tip, 0.5 inches) is included for secure attachment. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and flat to achieve optimal frequency response. The top-mounted 2-pin Mil-C-5015 electrical connector simplifies wiring, and the sensor's compact size (hex 11/16 inches, height 1.65 inches, weight 0.051 kg) allows installation in tight spaces.

Maintenance & Reliability

Routine inspection of the electrical connector and cable for wear or corrosion is recommended to maintain signal integrity. The welded hermetic seal and stainless steel housing provide long-term protection against moisture and contaminants, reducing the need for frequent replacements. The 100% relative humidity tolerance (condensing, non-submerged) further enhances reliability in humid environments. For continued accuracy, verify the bias voltage periodically and follow the manufacturer's guidelines for cleaning and storage.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

When selecting the Bently Nevada 200350-00-00-00, confirm that the sensitivity tolerance (100 mV/g ±20%) matches your monitoring requirements. The agency approvals option is set to "No Approvals" for this configuration, so verify if your site requires specific certifications.
