What Is the Bently Nevada 200350-02-00-00?
When critical machinery vibrates unexpectedly, how do you catch the early warning signs before failure? The Bently Nevada 200350-02-00-00 200350 Accelerometers deliver precise vibration data for industrial asset protection. Manufactured in the U.S.A., this accelerometer is part of the trusted 200350 series designed for harsh environments.
Key Technical Specifications
The 200350-02-00-00 offers a sensitivity of 100 mV/g ±20% (10.2 mV/m/s² ±20%) with a measurement range of ±50g. Its frequency range spans 30 to 600,000 cpm (0.5 to 10,000 Hz) at ±3 dB, making it suitable for a broad spectrum of rotating machinery. The transverse sensitivity is ≤7%, and amplitude linearity is ±1%. Mounted resonant frequency reaches 1500 kcpm (25 kHz). Broadband electrical noise from 1 to 10 kHz is 350 μg (3,434 μm/s²). Output bias voltage ranges from 8 to 12 VDC, requiring an excitation voltage of 18 to 28 VDC with constant current excitation of 2 to 20 mA. Settling time within 1% of bias is 2.0 seconds, output impedance is less than 150 ohms, discharge time constant is ≥0.3 seconds, and electrical isolation from the case exceeds 108 ohms. The operating temperature range spans -65°F to +250°F (-54°C to +121°C), with shock survivability of 5,000 g pk. It handles 100% relative humidity (condensing, non-submerged) and carries an IP68 enclosure rating. The mounting thread is 1/4-28 female with a maximum mounting torque of 2 to 5 ft-lb (2.7 to 6.8 N-m). The sensing element is ceramic with a shear geometry. Housing is stainless steel with welded hermetic sealing. The electrical connector is a 2-Pin Mil-C-5015 positioned at the top. The mounting stud option is 02 = ¼-28 to M8 x 1.25 Stainless Steel, tolerance is 00 = 100 mV/g ±20%, and agency approvals option is 00 = No Approvals. Hex size is 11/16” (1.8 cm), height is 1.65” (4.24 cm), and weight is 0.051 kg.
Industry Applications
In industries like oil and gas, power generation, and manufacturing, the 200350-02-00-00 monitors rotating equipment such as pumps, compressors, and turbines. Its wide frequency range and ±50g measurement range capture both low-speed and high-speed vibrations. The IP68 rating and stainless steel housing allow deployment in wet or dusty environments without compromising data quality.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Mount the accelerometer using the 1/4-28 female thread with a torque of 2 to 5 ft-lb (2.7 to 6.8 N-m). The mounting stud option (¼-28 to M8 x 1.25 stainless steel) simplifies attachment to various machine surfaces. Ensure the 2-Pin Mil-C-5015 connector is securely mated and the top connection position is accessible for cable routing. Verify the excitation voltage (18 to 28 VDC) and constant current (2 to 20 mA) from your monitoring system before powering up.
Maintenance & Reliability
Routine inspection of the cable and connector integrity helps maintain signal quality. The welded hermetic sealing and stainless steel housing resist corrosion and moisture ingress. Given the IP68 rating, the accelerometer can withstand temporary submersion, but periodic checks for physical damage or contamination are recommended. The ceramic sensing element and shear geometry provide long-term stability under continuous vibration.
Compatibility & Integration
The 200350-02-00-00 integrates with Bently Nevada monitoring systems and other industrial data acquisition platforms that accept IEPE-type accelerometer inputs. The output bias voltage (8 to 12 VDC) and low output impedance (<150 ohms) ensure compatibility with most standard vibration monitoring modules. No additional signal conditioning is required beyond constant current excitation.
