What Is the Bently Nevada 200350-02-00-CN 200350 Accelerometer?
When unplanned downtime threatens production targets, the Bently Nevada 200350-02-00-CN 200350 Accelerometer delivers precise vibration data to protect critical rotating machinery. This industrial accelerometer, manufactured in the U.S.A., is part of the trusted 200350 series and provides accurate measurements in harsh environments.
Technical Specifications Breakdown
The 200350-02-00-CN offers a sensitivity of 100 mV/g ±20% (10.2 mV/m/s² ±20%), ensuring reliable output for vibration analysis. Its frequency range spans 30 to 600,000 cpm (0.5 to 10,000 Hz), covering low-speed to high-speed machinery. The measurement range of ±50g accommodates moderate vibration levels, while transverse sensitivity ≤7% minimizes cross-axis errors. Amplitude linearity of ±1% guarantees consistent performance across the operating range. The mounted resonant frequency reaches 1500 kcpm (25 kHz), enabling high-frequency response. Broadband electrical noise is only 350 μg (3,434 μm/s²), preserving signal integrity. Output bias voltage sits between 8 and 12 VDC, with excitation voltage from 18 to 28 VDC and constant current excitation of 2 to 20 mA. Settling time is 2.0 seconds within 1% of bias, and output impedance is less than 150 ohms. The discharge time constant is ≥0.3 seconds, and electrical isolation from case exceeds 108 ohms.
Industry Applications
In the oil and gas sector, the 200350-02-00-CN monitors pumps and compressors for early signs of bearing wear or imbalance. Its IP68 enclosure rating allows continuous operation in wet, condensing environments. For power generation, this accelerometer tracks turbine vibrations, leveraging its wide frequency range to detect both low-speed rotor issues and high-frequency blade pass events. The ceramic shear sensing element provides stable measurements over time, reducing maintenance intervals.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Mount the 200350-02-00-CN using the 1/4-28 female thread with a mounting stud option of ¼-28 to M8 x 1.25 BeCu. Apply a mounting torque of 2 to 5 ft-lb (2.7 to 6.8 N-m) to ensure proper coupling. The 2-pin Mil-C-5015 electrical connector at the top simplifies wiring. Verify excitation voltage between 18 and 28 VDC and constant current between 2 and 20 mA before powering the sensor. Allow 2.0 seconds settling time after power-up for stable bias voltage.
Maintenance & Reliability
The welded hermetic sealing and stainless steel housing protect against moisture and corrosion, supporting 100% relative humidity (condensing, non-submerged) conditions. With shock survivability of 5,000 g pk, the sensor withstands accidental impacts. Periodic inspection of the connector and cable integrity ensures long-term reliability. The ceramic sensing element and shear geometry reduce drift, extending calibration intervals.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
Before ordering, confirm the mounting thread requirement: the 200350-02-00-CN includes a 1/4-28 female thread with a ¼-28 to M8 x 1.25 BeCu stud option. The agency approvals option "CN" indicates country-specific certifications. Verify that your monitoring system accepts a 100 mV/g sensitivity and 8 to 12 VDC output bias. SpareTechPLC offers this Bently Nevada accelerometer with fast shipping and expert support to match your application needs.
