Bently Nevada 200155-18-05 Low Frequency Trendmaster Pro Accelerometer

Key Technical Specifications

The 200155-18-05 offers a sensitivity of 10.2 mV/(m/s²) (100 mV/g) at 80 Hz, with a measurement range of ±196 m/s² (±20 g). Its frequency range spans 1.5 to 10,000 Hz (90 to 600,000 cpm), referenced to 80 Hz. The mounted resonant frequency exceeds 20 kHz. Amplitude linearity is ±2% from 1 to 10 g pk, and transverse sensitivity is ≤7%. Settling time is ≤2000 ms within 5% of bias. Excitation voltage ranges from 4.7 to 5.5 Vdc, with quiescent current <800 µA and output bias voltage of +2.5 ± 0.23 Vdc.

Industry Applications

Fin-fan cooling towers and slow rotating shafts (e.g., in fans, pumps, and compressors) benefit from the 200155-18-05's low-frequency capability. Its rugged design withstands axial shock up to 49,050 m/s² pk (5,000 g pk) and operates from -40 °C to +105 °C (-40 °F to +221 °F).

Installation & Setup Guidance

Mount the 200155-18-05 using the 3/8-24 female thread with a mounting torque of 2.7 to 6.8 N•m (2 to 5 ft•lbf). Ensure the mounting surface is clean and flat for optimal coupling. The stud option (18 = 3/8-24 to M8x1 1-3/8 inch hex plate stud) facilitates installation. Allow 24 hours cure time if adhesive mounting is used. Connect excitation voltage (4.7 to 5.5 Vdc) and verify output bias voltage (+2.5 ± 0.23 Vdc) before operation.

Maintenance & Reliability

Regularly inspect the cable and connector for damage. The 316L stainless steel housing resists corrosion. Check mounting torque periodically, especially in high-vibration environments. The ceramic shear element provides long-term stability. Store the accelerometer within -55 °C to +121 °C (-67 °F to +250 °F) when not in use. Follow manufacturer guidelines for calibration intervals.

What Is the Bently Nevada 200155-18-05?
