Bently Nevada 200350-11-00-00 Accelerometer: High-Performance Vibration Sensor

Product Introduction

When unplanned downtime threatens production targets, the Bently Nevada 200350-11-00-00 accelerometer delivers reliable vibration data to protect critical rotating machinery. This 200350 series sensor is designed for permanent installation in demanding industrial settings, providing accurate measurements from 30 to 600,000 cpm (0.5 to 10,000 Hz). With a sensitivity of 100 mV/g ±20% and a measurement range of ±50g, it captures both subtle changes and severe events.

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters define the 200350-11-00-00 performance. The output bias voltage of 8 to 12 VDC ensures stable signal transmission, while excitation voltage of 18 to 28 VDC with constant current of 2 to 20 mA powers the sensor reliably. Settling time within 1% of bias is just 2.0 seconds, enabling quick readiness after power-up. Output impedance below 150 ohms maintains signal integrity over long cable runs. The discharge time constant of ≥0.3 seconds prevents low-frequency distortion. Electrical isolation from the case exceeds 108 ohms, eliminating ground loop issues.

Industry Applications

In oil and gas facilities, the 200350-11-00-00 monitors pumps and compressors for early signs of bearing wear or imbalance. Its IP68 enclosure rating withstands 100% relative humidity, condensing, and non-submerged conditions, making it suitable for washdown areas. The stainless steel housing and welded hermetic sealing protect against corrosive environments. Power generation plants benefit from its shock survivability of 5,000 g pk, ensuring reliability during transient events.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Mount the 200350-11-00-00 using the M6x1 adhesive stud mount provided. Apply mounting torque between 2 to 5 ft-lb (2.7 to 6.8 N-m) to the 1/4-28 female thread. The 2-pin Mil-C-5015 electrical connector at the top simplifies wiring. Ensure the excitation voltage and constant current are within the specified ranges. Allow 2.0 seconds settling time before taking measurements.

Maintenance & Reliability

Routine inspection of the cable and connector integrity prevents signal degradation. The ceramic shear sensing element offers long-term stability. Verify the output bias voltage periodically to confirm proper operation. The IP68 rating allows cleaning with water jets without sensor damage.
