200350-00-00-01 | Bently Nevada 100 mV/g Accelerometer IP68

What Is the 200350-00-00-01?

When machinery vibration threatens uptime, the 200350-00-00-01 from Bently Nevada provides precise measurement. This accelerometer is part of the 200350 series, engineered for industrial monitoring. It offers a sensitivity of 100 mV/g ±20%, making it suitable for detecting subtle changes in rotating equipment.

Key Features & Technical Specs

• Sensitivity: 100 mV/g ±20% (10.2 mV/m/s² ±20%)
• Frequency range: 30 to 600,000 cpm (0.5 to 10,000 Hz) ±3 dB
• Measurement range: ±50 g
• Output bias voltage: 8 to 12 VDC
• Excitation voltage: 18 to 28 VDC
• Constant current excitation: 2 to 20 mA
• Enclosure rating: IP68
• Operating temperature: -65°F to +250°F (-54°C to +121°C)

A standout spec is the IP68 rating, which allows the 200350-00-00-01 to withstand continuous immersion in water. This makes it ideal for washdown areas or outdoor installations where moisture is a concern.

Real-World Applications

In industries like oil and gas, the 200350-00-00-01 monitors pumps and compressors. Its wide frequency range captures both low-speed and high-speed vibrations. For example, in a refinery, this accelerometer helps detect bearing wear early. Additionally, its welded hermetic sealing ensures reliable operation in corrosive atmospheres.

Installation & Setup

Mount the 200350-00-00-01 using its 1/4-28 female thread. Apply a mounting torque of 2 to 5 ft-lb (2.7 to 6.8 N-m) for optimal coupling. The 2-pin Mil-C-5015 connector simplifies wiring. Always verify the excitation voltage (18 to 28 VDC) and constant current (2 to 20 mA) from your power source before connecting.

Routine Care & Reliability

Because the 200350-00-00-01 is hermetically sealed, it requires minimal maintenance. Periodically inspect the cable and connector for damage. The ceramic sensing element offers long-term stability, reducing the need for recalibration. In high-humidity environments, the IP68 rating prevents moisture ingress, extending service life.
