Bently Nevada 200350-00-00-01 Seismic Transducer Module

Product Overview

The 200350-00-00-01 is a high-performance seismic accelerometer from the Bently Nevada 200350 series, precision-engineered in the USA for industrial vibration monitoring. Utilizing a ceramic shear sensing element, this transducer delivers a stabilized 100 mV/g sensitivity, making it ideal for detecting early-stage mechanical faults in rotating machinery. Its welded hermetic stainless steel housing and IP68 rating ensure long-term survivability in extreme environments, including 100% condensing humidity, while providing the millisecond-level data accuracy required for mission-critical machine protection systems.

Technical Configuration

Model Suffix Breakdown

The 200350-00-00-01 configuration is tailored for specific industrial mounting and safety requirements:

• 200350: Series identifier for premium seismic accelerometers.
• -00: Mounting Stud Option (1/4-28 SS with Brass tip, 0.5”).
• -00: Standard Tolerance (100 mV/g ± 20% sensitivity).
• -01: Global Agency Approvals (CSA, ATEX, and IECEx) for hazardous area deployment.

Technical Specifications

Installation & Maintenance Guide

The 200350-00-00-01 features a top-mounted 2-Pin Mil-C-5015 electrical connector for easy integration into existing wiring harnesses. When mounting the sensor, utilize the 1/4-28 SS mounting stud with a brass tip to ensure a rigid connection to the machine surface. Apply a mounting torque of 2 to 5 ft-lb (2.7 to 6.8 N-m) for optimal signal transmission. Proper installation ensures the frequency response remains linear up to 10,000 Hz. For international projects, a Certificate of Origin (COO) can be provided upon request to confirm its USA-made status.

Engineering Advantages

• Ceramic Shear Geometry: Superior sensing architecture that minimizes base strain and thermal transient interference.
• Extreme Ruggedness: Rated for shock survivability up to 5,000 g pk and operating temperatures down to -65°F (-54°C).
• Hazardous Area Certified: Pre-approved by CSA, ATEX, and IECEx, allowing for immediate global deployment in explosive atmospheres.
• Hermetic Reliability: The welded stainless steel housing prevents moisture ingress, even in 100% condensing humidity.

Technical FAQs

Q1: What is the benefit of the brass tip on the mounting stud?
A1: The brass tip on the 1/4-28 stud provides a softer contact point that helps prevent damage to the sensor's mounting threads while maintaining high-frequency acoustic coupling.

Q2: Can this accelerometer be submerged in water?
A2: While the module has an IP68 enclosure rating and thrives in 100% condensing humidity, it is designed for non-submerged applications. For direct immersion, please consult our technical team for specialized housing options.

Q3: How do I verify the electrical health of the sensor?
A3: Check the Output Bias Voltage (OBV); a healthy 200350-00-00-01 should maintain a bias between 8 and 12 V DC when supplied with the correct constant current excitation.
