Bently Nevada 200350-09-00-CN Accelerometer, 100 mV/g, IP68

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the 200350-09-00-CN are listed below for quick reference:

Real-World Applications for Vibration Monitoring

This accelerometer is well-suited for continuous monitoring of pumps, fans, compressors, and motors in industries such as oil and gas, power generation, and chemical processing. The wide frequency range (0.5–10,000 Hz) and high shock survivability (5,000 g pk) make it effective for detecting both slow-speed and high-frequency faults like bearing wear or imbalance. The IP68 rating ensures reliable operation in wet, condensing environments, reducing the risk of sensor failure.

Installation Guidance for Reliable Data

Proper mounting is critical for accurate vibration readings. The 200350-09-00-CN features a 1/4-28 female mounting thread and requires a mounting torque of 2 to 5 ft-lb (2.7 to 6.8 N-m). Use a clean, flat surface and apply a thin layer of coupling grease to ensure optimal signal transmission. The top-mounted 2-pin Mil-C-5015 connector simplifies cable routing. Always verify that the excitation voltage (18 to 28 VDC) and constant current (2 to 20 mA) match your monitoring system specifications.

Maintenance and Reliability Considerations

The welded hermetic seal and stainless steel housing provide protection against moisture and contaminants. Under normal operating conditions, periodic visual inspection of the cable and connector is sufficient. The discharge time constant (≥0.3 sec) supports accurate low-frequency measurements. For long-term reliability, avoid exceeding the specified temperature range or shock limits.

Choosing the Right Vibration Sensor for Critical Machinery

When monitoring rotating equipment in demanding industrial environments, selecting a reliable accelerometer is essential for early fault detection and unplanned downtime prevention. The Bently Nevada 200350-09-00-CN offers a proven solution for continuous vibration measurement, combining rugged construction with precise sensitivity.

Selection and Purchasing Advice

When selecting a replacement or new accelerometer, confirm that the sensitivity (100 mV/g) and frequency range align with your machinery's vibration characteristics. The 200350-09-00-CN is a country-specific variant (CN option) and does not include a mounting stud. Please verify current lifecycle status and availability with AutoDCSTech before ordering.
