Bently Nevada 200350-12-00-01 Accelerometer: High-Performance Vibration Sensor

Product Introduction

As industrial machinery evolves, the need for precise vibration monitoring has never been greater. The Bently Nevada 200350-12-00-01 accelerometer, part of the 200350 series, delivers reliable performance in harsh environments. With a sensitivity of 100 mV/g ±20% and a frequency range of 30-600,000 cpm (0.5-10,000 Hz), this sensor captures critical vibration data to prevent unplanned downtime. Manufactured in the U.S.A., the 200350-12-00-01 is engineered for applications requiring robust, accurate measurements.

Technical Specifications Breakdown

The 200350-12-00-01 offers a measurement range of ±50g, ensuring it handles both subtle and severe vibrations. Its transverse sensitivity is ≤7%, minimizing cross-axis errors. Amplitude linearity of ±1% guarantees consistent output across the operating range. The mounted resonant frequency reaches 1500 kcpm (25 kHz), providing high-frequency response. Broadband electrical noise (1-10 kHz) is only 350 μg (3,434 μm/s²), enabling clean signals. Output bias voltage ranges from 8 to 12 VDC, while excitation voltage is 18 to 28 VDC with constant current excitation of 2 to 20 mA. Settling time is 2.0 seconds, and output impedance is less than 150 ohms. The discharge time constant is ≥0.3 seconds, and electrical isolation from the case exceeds 108 ohms.

Industry Applications

In the oil and gas sector, the 200350-12-00-01 monitors pumps and compressors, leveraging its IP68 enclosure rating and operating temperature range of -65°F to +250°F (-54°C to +121°C) to withstand extreme conditions. For power generation, its 5,000 g pk shock survivability ensures reliability during turbine startups and faults. The CSA, ATEX, and IECEx agency approvals make it suitable for hazardous locations, such as chemical processing plants, where safety compliance is critical.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Mount the 200350-12-00-01 using the M8x1.25 adhesive stud mount (mounting stud option 12). Apply a mounting torque of 2 to 5 ft-lb (2.7 to 6.8 N-m) to the 1/4-28 female thread. The sensor features a top-mounted 2-pin Mil-C-5015 electrical connector for easy wiring. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and flat to achieve optimal frequency response. The ceramic shear sensing element provides stable performance over time.

Maintenance & Reliability

Regular inspection of the 200350-12-00-01 is recommended to maintain accuracy. Check the welded hermetic stainless steel housing for signs of corrosion or damage, especially in condensing humidity environments (100% relative humidity, non-submerged). Verify output bias voltage periodically to detect sensor degradation. The IP68 rating allows temporary immersion, but avoid prolonged submersion. Follow manufacturer guidelines for calibration intervals to ensure consistent measurements.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

When selecting the 200350-12-00-01, verify the tolerance option (00 = 100 mV/g ±20%) and agency approvals (01 = CSA, ATEX, IECEx). The hex size is 11/16” (1.8 cm), and the height is 1.65” (4.24 cm), with a weight of 0.051 kg. For complete technical specifications, contact BluePLC Industrial.
