Bently Nevada 200355-10-00-00 200350 Accelerometer for Vibration Monitoring

Product Overview

When rotating machinery experiences unbalance or misalignment, the Bently Nevada 200355-10-00-00 provides precise vibration data to protect your assets. This 200350 series accelerometer delivers reliable performance in harsh industrial environments.

Manufactured by Bently Nevada in the U.S.A., the 200355-10-00-00 features a sensitivity of 100 mV/g ±20% (10.2 mV/m/s² ±20%). Its ceramic shear sensing element ensures accurate readings across a frequency range of 30 to 600,000 cpm (0.5 to 10,000 Hz). With a measurement range of ±50 g and transverse sensitivity ≤7%, this accelerometer captures both low and high amplitude vibrations.

Industry Applications

This accelerometer excels in applications requiring continuous vibration monitoring of critical rotating equipment. Typical uses include:

Pumps and Compressors: Detecting bearing wear and imbalance early reduces unplanned downtime.

Motors and Generators: Monitoring vibration levels helps extend service life and improve reliability.

Fans and Blowers: The wide frequency range captures both low-speed and high-speed faults.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Proper mounting is essential for accurate readings. Use the 1/4-28 adhesive stud mount (Mounting Stud option 10) to attach the accelerometer securely. Apply a mounting torque of 2 to 5 ft-lb (2.7 to 6.8 N-m) to ensure consistent coupling. The top-exit 2-pin Mil-C-5015 connector simplifies wiring in tight spaces. Verify excitation voltage between 18 and 28 VDC with constant current from 2 to 20 mA before powering the sensor.

Maintenance & Reliability

The stainless steel housing and welded hermetic sealing provide excellent protection against moisture and contaminants. With an IP68 enclosure rating, this accelerometer withstands continuous immersion in water. The ceramic shear sensing element offers long-term stability and resistance to thermal variations. Inspect the connector and cable periodically for signs of wear or corrosion. Given the IP68 rating, the unit requires minimal routine maintenance in clean environments.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

Before ordering the 200355-10-00-00, confirm that your monitoring system supports the 100 mV/g sensitivity and requires the 1/4-28 adhesive stud mount. This model carries no agency approvals (option 00). For applications needing certified safety ratings, please contact BluePLC Industrial for alternative options.
