The Bently Nevada 200350-02-00-01, also cataloged as the 200350 Accelerometer, operates as a dedicated vibration sensing component for casing acceleration measurement within Bently Nevada 2300 Vibration Monitoring systems.

Model Configuration Overview

The 200350 series configuration identifies the mechanical mounting, electrical sensitivity, and hazardous area approval options. The 02-00-01 variant provides a stainless steel mounting interface, 100 mV/g sensitivity, and CSA, ATEX, IECEx approvals.

Hardware Specifications

The 200350-02-00-01 accelerometer converts mechanical casing vibration into an electrical acceleration signal. The sensor uses a stainless steel housing with a 1/4-28 female mounting thread and supports direct connection to vibration monitoring equipment.

The unit provides a nominal sensitivity of 100 mV/g with a tolerance of +/-20%. The mounting stud configuration supports mechanical installation requirements for industrial vibration monitoring applications.

Rotor Dynamics Signal Measurement

Bently Nevada vibration sensors are designed for machinery condition monitoring where vibration amplitude and frequency response are evaluated by monitoring systems. The sensor output is used for vibration analysis, including rotor dynamics evaluation, mechanical imbalance detection, and casing vibration trending.

Signal installation requires proper cable shielding and grounding practices to minimize electrical interference. Shield termination should follow the monitoring system grounding specification to reduce measurement noise and cross-talk effects.

Eddy Current and Vibration Signal Interface Considerations

The 200350 accelerometer belongs to the Bently Nevada vibration monitoring ecosystem, where sensor scaling and signal conditioning are matched with monitoring hardware input requirements. Unlike eddy-current proximity probes that measure shaft displacement and gap voltage, this accelerometer provides casing acceleration measurement signals.

The sensor is applied where acceleration-based vibration data is required for machinery diagnostic calculations and vibration protection logic.
