Performance Metrics
The 200350-01-00-00 excels in accuracy and durability. Its amplitude linearity of ±1% ensures precise readings across the measurement range. The mounted resonant frequency of 1500 kcpm (25 kHz) allows detection of high-frequency vibrations, while broadband electrical noise of 350 μg (3,434 μm/s²) keeps signal clarity high. With a discharge time constant of ≥0.3 seconds, the accelerometer maintains stable output even during slow-varying events. These specifications make the Bently Nevada 200350-01-00-00 a trusted choice for critical rotating machinery.
Real-World Applications
-
Turbine Monitoring: Installed on steam and gas turbines to detect imbalance, misalignment, and bearing wear, enabling early intervention and reducing unplanned downtime.
-
Pump Vibration Analysis: Used on centrifugal pumps in water treatment and chemical plants to monitor vibration levels and protect against cavitation and mechanical failure.
-
Compressor Protection: Deployed on reciprocating and centrifugal compressors to ensure smooth operation and extend service life by triggering alarms before catastrophic damage occurs.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Proper mounting is crucial for accurate vibration measurement. The 200350-01-00-00 uses a 1/4-28 female mounting thread. Apply the recommended mounting torque of 2 to 5 ft-lb (2.7 to 6.8 N-m) to ensure a secure and stable connection. For best results, mount the accelerometer directly onto a flat, machined surface. Use the provided stainless steel mounting stud (¼-28 to M6 x 1.00) if an M6 thread is required. Ensure the electrical connector (2-Pin Mil-C-5015) is oriented upward to avoid strain on the cable.
Maintenance & Reliability
The welded hermetic sealing and stainless steel construction of the 200350-01-00-00 provide excellent resistance to moisture and contaminants. With an IP68 rating, it withstands continuous immersion in water, making it ideal for washdown environments. To maintain long-term reliability, inspect the mounting stud and connector periodically for corrosion or damage. Verify output bias voltage regularly to ensure the accelerometer remains within its 8 to 12 VDC range. This low-maintenance design reduces total cost of ownership and maximizes uptime.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
When selecting the Bently Nevada 200350-01-00-00, confirm the mounting thread configuration (¼-28 female) matches your installation point. The unit includes a stainless steel mounting stud for M6 adaption. This model has no agency approvals, so verify if your facility requires specific certifications.
