Bently Nevada 200350-13-00-00 200350 Accelerometer with Magnetic Base Kit

Product Overview

When machinery vibration threatens uptime, the Bently Nevada 200350-13-00-00 200350 Accelerometer delivers precise, reliable data. This industrial-grade sensor features a magnetic base kit (Mounting Stud 13) for quick, secure attachment to ferrous surfaces. With a sensitivity of 100 mV/g ±20% and a frequency range of 30–600,000 cpm (0.5–10,000 Hz), it captures both low-speed and high-frequency vibrations essential for predictive maintenance. The 200350-13-00-00 is manufactured in the U.S.A. and carries no agency approvals (Option 00). Its compact design (height 1.65 in / 4.24 cm, hex size 11/16 in / 1.8 cm) and light weight (0.051 kg) make it easy to install in tight spaces.

Technical Specifications Breakdown

The 200350-13-00-00 offers a measurement range of ±50 g, ensuring it can handle moderate to high vibration levels without saturation. Transverse sensitivity is ≤7%, minimizing cross-axis errors. Amplitude linearity holds within ±1%, providing accurate readings across the operating range. The mounted resonant frequency is 1500 kcpm (25 kHz), well above typical machine frequencies, reducing measurement distortion. Broadband electrical noise (1–10 kHz) is only 350 μg (3,434 μm/s²), preserving signal clarity. Output bias voltage sits between 8 and 12 VDC, while excitation voltage ranges from 18 to 28 VDC with constant current excitation of 2 to 20 mA. Settling time (within 1% of bias) is 2.0 seconds, and output impedance is <150 ohms. The discharge time constant is ≥0.3 seconds, and electrical isolation (case) exceeds 10⁸ ohms.

Industry Applications

This accelerometer excels in rotating machinery monitoring—pumps, fans, compressors, and motors—where early fault detection prevents catastrophic failure. In oil and gas facilities, the IP68 enclosure rating allows operation in 100% relative humidity, condensing environments (non-submerged). The operating temperature range of -65°F to +250°F (-54°C to +121°C) suits extreme outdoor or process-adjacent locations. Compared to similar piezoelectric accelerometers, the 200350-13-00-00 offers a wider frequency range and lower noise floor, making it a superior choice for high-fidelity vibration analysis.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Mount the 200350-13-00-00 using the magnetic base kit on a clean, flat ferromagnetic surface. The mounting thread is 1/4-28 female; maximum mounting torque is 2 to 5 ft-lb (2.7 to 6.8 N-m). Use the 2-pin Mil-C-5015 electrical connector located at the top. Ensure excitation voltage (18–28 VDC) and constant current (2–20 mA) match the signal conditioner. Allow 2.0 seconds settling time after power-up before taking measurements. The ceramic shear sensing element provides excellent stability and wide dynamic range.

Maintenance & Reliability

Routine inspection of the magnetic base and connector seals is recommended. The welded hermetic sealing and stainless steel housing protect against moisture and corrosion. With shock survivability of 5,000 g pk, this sensor withstands accidental impacts. For continuous monitoring, verify bias voltage stays within 8–12 VDC. No internal cleaning or disassembly is required—simply keep the connector dry and free of debris.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

When ordering the 200350-13-00-00, confirm your signal conditioner supports constant current excitation of 2–20 mA and accepts a 100 mV/g sensitivity. The magnetic base kit (Mounting Stud 13) is ideal for temporary or semi-permanent installations on flat steel surfaces. For applications requiring agency approvals, consider other tolerance options.
