The 200150-05-05 uses a ceramic shear sensing element in a 316L stainless steel housing. Its compact size (17.5 mm hex x 45.7 mm height) and lightweight design (58 g) simplify installation in tight spaces.

Applications and Use Cases

Maintenance engineers rely on the 200150-05-05 for continuous vibration monitoring in rotating machinery. It excels in general industrial applications where early fault detection reduces downtime. The accelerometer's wide temperature range (-40 °C to +105 °C) suits harsh environments. With 100% condensing humidity tolerance, it performs reliably in wet conditions.

Installation and Setup

Mount the 200150-05-05 using its 3/8-24 female thread. Apply a mounting torque of 2.7 to 6.8 N·m (2 to 5 ft·lbf). The mounting stud option (05) includes a 3/8-24 to 1/4-28 UNF adapter with a 1-3/8 inch hex plate. Allow 24 hours cure time after installation for optimal performance. Positive signal polarity (SIG+ relative to SIG-) simplifies wiring.

Maintenance and Reliability

Routine inspection of the accelerometer's cable and connector ensures long service life. The hermetically sealed design (leak rate <5x10⁻⁸ atm·cc/s) prevents moisture ingress. With axial shock limit of 49,050 m/s² (5,000 g pk), the 200150-05-05 withstands mechanical shocks. Regular verification of output bias voltage (+2.5 ± 0.23 Vdc) confirms proper operation.

Compatibility and Integration

The 200150-05-05 works with Trendmaster 2000 and Trendmaster Pro systems. It uses the ProTIM option for standard acceleration-to-velocity channel type (-01). Multiple approvals (CSA, ATEX, IECEx) allow use in hazardous areas. The accelerometer's 100 mV/g output integrates seamlessly with Bently Nevada monitoring platforms.
