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

Introduction to the Bently Nevada 200350-01-00-01 Accelerometer

When machinery vibration threatens uptime, the 200350-01-00-01 from Bently Nevada provides precise monitoring. This accelerometer is part of the 200350 series, engineered for reliable vibration sensing in demanding conditions. With a sensitivity of 100 mV/g ±20% and a frequency range of 30 to 600,000 cpm (0.5 to 10,000 Hz), it captures a wide spectrum of vibration data.

Key Features and Technical Specifications of the 200350-01-00-01

• Measurement Range: ±50g, suitable for moderate to high vibration levels.
• Frequency Range: 30 to 600,000 cpm (±3 dB) covers low to high frequencies.
• Output Bias Voltage: 8 to 12 VDC ensures stable signal transmission.
• Excitation Voltage: 18 to 28 VDC with constant current 2 to 20 mA.
• Enclosure Rating: IP68 for submersion in condensing humidity.
• Operating Temperature: -65°F to +250°F (-54°C to +121°C).
• Housing Material: Stainless steel with welded hermetic sealing.
• Electrical Connector: 2-Pin Mil-C-5015 top exit.

A standout spec is the mounted resonant frequency of 1500 kcpm (25 kHz), which minimizes measurement interference from structural resonances. This ensures accurate vibration data even in stiff mounting conditions.

Applications and Use Cases for the 200350-01-00-01

In rotating machinery monitoring, the 200350-01-00-01 excels due to its wide frequency response and robust IP68 rating. For example, in pump and fan applications where condensation is common, the sealed stainless steel housing prevents moisture ingress. Its ±50g range also suits gearbox monitoring where occasional shock loads occur. Additionally, the ceramic shear sensing element provides stable performance over temperature variations.

Installation and Setup Guide

Mount the 200350-01-00-01 using the 1/4-28 female thread with a mounting torque of 2 to 5 ft-lb (2.7 to 6.8 N-m). The mounting stud option 01 is ¼-28 to M6 x 1.00 stainless steel. Ensure the mating surface is clean and flat to achieve the specified frequency response. Connect the 2-pin Mil-C-5015 connector per the system wiring diagram. Allow a settling time of 2.0 seconds (within 1% of bias) after power-up before taking measurements.

Maintenance and Reliability Tips

Periodically inspect the cable and connector for damage, especially in high-vibration or wet environments. The IP68 rating allows for occasional submersion, but verify the connector is properly mated. Check the output bias voltage periodically; a drift outside 8 to 12 VDC may indicate sensor degradation. For long-term reliability, follow the manufacturer's recommended inspection intervals.
