Bently Nevada 200350-09-00-00 Accelerometer 100 mV/g

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 200350-09-00-00 is a precision vibration transducer engineered for permanent installation on industrial machinery. This accelerometer utilizes a ceramic shear sensing element to provide a stable output bias voltage and exceptional linear response. With an incredibly light net weight of 0.051 kg (approx. 1.8 oz), it minimizes mass loading effects on the monitored equipment, ensuring the vibration data collected is a true representation of the machine's health. The 2-pin Mil-C-5015 top-exit connector provides a secure, industry-standard interface for data acquisition systems.

Core Technical Advantages

This Bently Nevada 200350 model offers a sensitivity of 100 mV/g with an amplitude linearity of ±1%. It is designed to operate over a vast frequency range from 0.5 to 10,000 Hz, making it suitable for detecting both low-frequency structural issues and high-frequency bearing or gear mesh faults. The 0.051 kg sensor features a high mounted resonant frequency of 25 kHz, preventing interference from sensor-generated noise. Built with stainless steel and hermetic sealing, it maintains an electrical isolation of over 10⁸ ohms, protecting the signal integrity from ground loops and electromagnetic interference.

Technical Specifications

Mechanical & Environmental Resilience

The 200350-09-00-00 is built for the world's toughest industrial environments. Despite its 0.051 kg weight, it boasts a shock survivability of up to 5,000 g peak and an IP68 rating, ensuring complete resistance to dust and moisture ingress. It operates reliably in extreme temperatures ranging from -54°C to +121°C (-65°F to +250°F). The 1/4-28 female mounting thread allows for secure attachment to machine casings with a recommended torque of 2.7 to 6.8 N·m, providing the rigid coupling necessary for high-frequency vibration transmission.

Engineering Advantages

Engineers value the Bently Nevada 200350-09-00-00 for its low broadband electrical noise (350 μg) and superior transverse sensitivity (≤7%). These specifications ensure that the data reported is precise and untainted by off-axis vibrations or internal electrical interference. The use of a constant current excitation (2 to 20 mA) allows for long cable runs without signal degradation, which is essential in large-scale plants. The compact 0.051 kg stainless steel housing is resistant to corrosive chemicals, making it ideal for the oil and gas, power generation, and wastewater treatment industries.
