- Armor Option: Blue cable without armor (code -02)
- Coupling Nut: Nylon coupling nut (code 02)
- Minimum Bend Radius: 63.5 mm (2.5 in)
- Operating Temperature Range: -20 ºC to +100 ºC (-4 ºF to +212 ºF)
- Construction: 4-conductor, 22 AWG with braided shield and drain wire (85% coverage, minimum), PVC outer jacket, nickel-plated coupling nuts
- Seal: Connectors provide an IP67 seal to transducers and mating hardware; connectors are molded to the cable; DC4 electrical insulating compound in connectors adds moisture protection during thermal shock
These specifications ensure the 200151-40-02-02 cable withstands industrial conditions while maintaining signal integrity.
Industry Applications
The Bently Nevada 200151-40-02-02 is ideal for connecting accelerometers in rotating machinery monitoring, such as turbines, compressors, and pumps. Its IP67 seal protects against moisture and dust in outdoor or washdown environments. The nylon coupling nut offers corrosion resistance, making it suitable for chemical plants and refineries.
Installation & Setup Guidance
When installing the 200151-40-02-02 cable, ensure the minimum bend radius of 63.5 mm is not exceeded to avoid damaging the conductors. The connectors should be hand-tightened to achieve the IP67 seal; do not use tools that may over-torque the nylon coupling nut. For applications below -20 ºC, avoid flexing the cable to prevent damage.
Maintenance & Reliability
Regularly inspect the cable for cuts, abrasions, or signs of moisture ingress at the connectors. The molded connectors and DC4 compound provide long-term reliability, but periodic checks ensure continued performance. The PVC outer jacket resists many industrial chemicals, extending service life.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
When ordering the Bently Nevada 200151-40-02-02, verify the cable length (4.0 meters) and armor option (blue without armor) match your installation requirements. The nylon coupling nut is suitable for most environments; for higher temperature or chemical exposure, consult SpareTechPLC for alternative options. Contact SpareTechPLC for current availability and lifecycle status before ordering.
