Bently Nevada 200355-01-00-00 Accelerometer: 100 mV/g ±20% Sensor

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the 200355-01-00-00 are listed below for quick reference:

Application Scenarios for Reliable Vibration Monitoring

This accelerometer is designed for permanent installation on rotating machinery such as pumps, fans, compressors, and turbines. Its 100 mV/g sensitivity suits general-purpose vibration monitoring, while the wide frequency range captures both low-speed and high-frequency events. The IP68 enclosure rating allows operation in wet, condensing environments without submersion. For example, in a paper mill with high humidity, the welded hermetic seal protects the sensing element from moisture ingress.

Installation Guidance for Optimal Performance

Mount the sensor using the 1/4-28 female mounting thread onto a clean, flat surface. Apply the recommended mounting torque of 2 to 5 ft-lb (2.7 to 6.8 N-m) using a calibrated torque wrench to ensure consistent coupling. Use the provided BeCu mounting stud (¼-28 to M6 x 1.00) for proper thread engagement. Connect via the 2-pin Mil-C-5015 top-mounted connector. Allow 2.0 seconds settling time after power-up before taking measurements.

Maintenance and Reliability Considerations

Periodically inspect the sensor cable and connector for damage or corrosion. Verify output bias voltage (8 to 12 VDC) during routine checks to confirm the sensor is powered correctly. The ceramic shear sensing element provides long-term stability, and the stainless steel housing resists corrosion in harsh environments. No internal adjustments are required; the sensor is factory-calibrated.

Selecting the Right Vibration Sensor for Critical Machinery

When monitoring rotating equipment, the accelerometer you choose directly impacts data quality and machine protection. The Bently Nevada 200355-01-00-00 offers a proven solution for demanding industrial environments, combining robust construction with precise measurement capabilities. This guide helps you evaluate whether this sensor fits your application needs.

Compatibility and System Integration

The 200355-01-00-00 operates with an excitation voltage of 18 to 28 VDC and constant current excitation of 2 to 20 mA, making it compatible with most Bently Nevada vibration monitoring systems and third-party data collectors. The output impedance is less than 150 ohms, allowing direct connection to standard PLC or DCS analog input modules. Verify that your system accepts the 100 mV/g sensitivity and ±50 g measurement range.

Purchasing Advice from AutoDCSTech

When selecting this accelerometer, confirm that the mounting stud option (¼-28 to M6 x 1.00 BeCu) matches your installation requirements. The tolerance option 00 provides 100 mV/g ±20% sensitivity.
