Product Overview
When vibration monitoring systems demand reliable signal transmission in harsh industrial environments, the Bently Nevada 200152-25-00 delivers. This Accelerometer Interface Standard Cable, part of the 200151 series, features a connector on the accelerometer end only. It provides a secure, shielded connection for accurate data from rotating machinery.
Technical Specifications Breakdown
The 200152-25-00 offers a 25-meter cable length, ideal for connecting remote accelerometers to monitoring systems. Its construction uses 4-conductor, 22 AWG wire with a braided shield and drain wire (85% coverage, minimum), and a PVC outer jacket. This design minimizes electrical noise interference, ensuring signal integrity. The cable operates within a temperature range of -20 ºC to +100 ºC (-4 ºF to +212 ºF). Note that flexing below -20 ºC may damage the cable, so plan installations accordingly.
Industry Applications
Maintenance engineers rely on the 200152-25-00 for continuous vibration monitoring on pumps, compressors, turbines, and fans. In a typical setup, the cable connects a Bently Nevada accelerometer to a monitoring system, transmitting real-time data for early fault detection. This reduces unplanned downtime and extends equipment life.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Install the cable with a minimum bend radius of 73.7 mm (2.9 in) to prevent internal damage. The connectors provide an IP67 seal to transducers and mating hardware, protecting against dust and water ingress. Apply DC4 electrical insulating compound in the connectors for added moisture protection during thermal shock. Ensure the cable does not flex at temperatures below -20 ºC.
Maintenance & Reliability
Regularly inspect the cable for cuts, abrasions, or kinks, especially near connection points. The nickel-plated coupling nuts resist corrosion, but verify tightness periodically. The molded connectors enhance durability. For long-term reliability, avoid exposing the cable to temperatures above +100 ºC or below -20 ºC during operation.
Compatibility & Integration
This cable is designed for Bently Nevada accelerometers with compatible interfaces. It integrates seamlessly into existing vibration monitoring systems. The standard coupling nut (-00) ensures a secure fit. Verify connector compatibility with your accelerometer model before ordering.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
Before purchasing the 200152-25-00, confirm your accelerometer requires a connector on the accelerometer end only. The 25-meter length suits most industrial installations. For longer or shorter runs, contact SpareTechPLC for alternative lengths. SpareTechPLC stocks genuine Bently Nevada parts, ensuring fast delivery and reliable performance.
