Product Overview
When machinery vibration threatens uptime, the Bently Nevada 200150-05-05 provides precise, reliable measurement. This general-purpose accelerometer, part of the Trendmaster 2000 or Trendmaster Pro family, delivers accurate data for condition monitoring in rotating equipment. Designed for general applications, it pairs with the ProTIM option for standard acceleration-to-velocity channel type (-01).
The Bently Nevada 200150-05-05 is manufactured in the U.S.A. and features a mounting stud option of 3/8-24 to 1/4-28 UNF with a 1-3/8 inch hex plate stud. Its multiple approvals (CSA, ATEX, and IECEx) make it suitable for hazardous environments.

Real-World Applications
The 200150-05-05 excels in monitoring rotating machinery such as pumps, motors, fans, and compressors. Its wide frequency range captures both low-speed and high-speed vibration signatures, enabling early detection of imbalance, misalignment, or bearing wear.
In a typical plant, this accelerometer mounts directly on bearing housings to feed data into a Trendmaster system. With its ±25 g measurement range, it handles moderate vibration levels common in general industrial equipment.
Because of its multiple approvals, the Bently Nevada 200150-05-05 suits installations in potentially explosive atmospheres, providing reliable monitoring without compromising safety.
Installation & Setup
Proper mounting is critical for accurate readings. Use the 3/8-24 female thread and apply the recommended mounting torque of 2.7 to 6.8 N•m (2 to 5 ft•lbf). Ensure the mounting surface is clean and flat to maximize frequency response.
Orient the accelerometer so that the sensing axis aligns with the primary vibration direction. Connect SIG+ and SIG- to the corresponding terminals on the ProTIM module. Allow the unit to settle for at least 300 ms after power-up before taking measurements.
Maintenance & Reliability
Routine checks should include verifying the mounting torque and inspecting the cable for damage. The hermetically sealed 316L stainless steel housing protects against moisture and contaminants, ensuring long-term stability.
With a temperature range of -40 ºC to +105 ºC, the 200150-05-05 operates reliably in harsh environments. Its ceramic shear sensing element provides excellent stability over time, reducing the need for frequent recalibration.
Compatibility & Integration
This accelerometer integrates seamlessly with the Trendmaster 2000 and Trendmaster Pro systems. It is specifically designed for the ProTIM option with standard acceleration-to-velocity channel type (-01). The output signal is a standard IEPE-style voltage, making it compatible with most condition monitoring platforms.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
Before ordering, verify your system’s excitation voltage (4.7 to 5.5 Vdc) and ensure the mounting thread matches your application. The 200150-05-05 includes a 3/8-24 to 1/4-28 UNF adapter stud for flexibility.
