What Is the Bently Nevada 200350-00-00-01?
When unexpected machinery vibrations threaten production uptime, the Bently Nevada 200350-00-00-01 200350 Accelerometers deliver precise, reliable data to detect faults early. This accelerometer belongs to the 200350 series and is designed for continuous vibration monitoring in rotating and reciprocating equipment. With a sensitivity of 100 mV/g ±20% and a measurement range of ±50g, it captures subtle changes in machine health. The unit operates within a frequency range of 30-600,000 cpm (0.5-10,000 Hz), making it suitable for a wide variety of industrial assets.
Key Technical Specifications
The 200350-00-00-01 accelerometer features a ceramic shear sensing element housed in a welded hermetic stainless steel enclosure. Its output bias voltage ranges from 8 to 12 VDC, while excitation voltage is 18 to 28 VDC with constant current excitation of 2 to 20 mA. The device settles within 1% of bias in 2.0 seconds, ensuring fast response after power-up. Output impedance is less than 150 ohms, and the discharge time constant is at least 0.3 seconds. Electrical isolation from the case exceeds 108 ohms, protecting against ground loops. The accelerometer withstands shock survivability of 5,000 g peak and operates in temperatures from -65°F to +250°F (-54°C to +121°C). Its IP68 enclosure rating allows use in condensing humidity and non-submerged wet conditions.
Real-World Applications
In industries such as oil and gas, power generation, and pulp and paper, the 200350-00-00-01 monitors pumps, compressors, fans, and turbines. Its wide frequency range captures both low-speed imbalance and high-frequency bearing faults. The ±50g measurement range accommodates moderate vibration levels typical of rotating machinery. The IP68 rating makes it ideal for outdoor or washdown areas where moisture and dust are present. By providing accurate vibration data, this accelerometer helps maintenance teams schedule repairs proactively, reducing unplanned downtime and extending equipment life.
Installation and Mounting Guidance
Mount the accelerometer using the 1/4-28 female mounting thread. Apply a mounting torque of 2 to 5 ft-lb (2.7 to 6.8 N-m) to ensure proper mechanical coupling. The mounting stud option 00 specifies a ¼-28 SS with brass tip, 0.5 inches long. Position the sensor on a flat, clean surface for optimal frequency response. Use the 2-pin Mil-C-5015 electrical connector located at the top of the unit. Verify that the excitation voltage and constant current supply match the specified ranges to avoid damage.
Maintenance and Reliability
Periodically inspect the accelerometer for physical damage, corrosion, or loose mounting. Check the electrical connector for moisture ingress or pin damage. The welded hermetic sealing and stainless steel housing provide long-term durability in harsh environments. Regular calibration verification ensures the sensitivity remains within the ±20% tolerance. Following these simple steps maximizes sensor lifespan and data accuracy, supporting cost-effective predictive maintenance programs.
