Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada 200350-12-00-CN is a high-reliability, case-mounted industrial accelerometer designed to measure vibration on critical rotating and reciprocating machinery.
As part of the 200350 transducer family, this sensor relies on an internal piezoelectric sensing element that generates an electrical charge proportional to acceleration. This charge is electronically converted into a robust differential voltage signal, making it ideal for integration with monitoring platforms like the Trendmaster Pro Constant Current Direct Input Card or Seismic Direct Input Cards.

Compliance & Standards Alignment
- Manufactured in accordance with strict Bently Nevada quality assurance protocols, ISO specifications, and industrial safety directives.
- Designed to maintain signal integrity in high-EMI environments, resisting electromagnetic interference from nearby motors, variable-frequency drives, and heavy power cables.
Technical Note: The
-CNsuffix designation points to specific regional or multi-hazard compliance certifications (such as North American or ATEX/IECEx hazardous area scopes). Always cross-reference the exact certification stamp on the sensor housing against your local plant safety mandates before mounting it in an explosive atmosphere.
Storage & Asset Preservation Guidelines
- Store the accelerometer in its original factory packaging within a clean, dry, climate-controlled indoor environment.
- Keep the protective cap on the 2-pin MIL-C-5015 connector interface until final cable mating to protect gold-plated pins from dust or oxidation.
- Avoid heavy mechanical shocks, drops, or severe strikes to the housing body, as high-G shock impacts can damage internal piezoelectric crystals.
Physical Installation Prerequisites
- Ensure that the target machinery is shut down, isolated, and locked out (LOTO) if mechanical preparation or welding of mounting pads is required.
- Clean the target machine mounting spot down to bare metal, ensuring it is flat, smooth, and free of paint, rust, or grease to guarantee optimal high-frequency vibration transmission.
- Torque the mounting stud carefully according to Bently Nevada specification limits, applying a thin layer of silicone grease or thread lock if recommended for your surface interface.
Buyer’s FAQ & Logistics
Q: What Harmonized System (HS) code applies to this Bently Nevada accelerometer?
A: Industrial vibration sensors, seismic monitors, and electronic measuring transducers typically classify under HS code 9031.80 (Measuring or checking instruments, appliances and machines) or 9033.00. Confirm final details with your customs broker.
Q: Is a mating signal cable included with part 200350-12-00-CN?
A: Typically, the catalog part number refers strictly to the accelerometer sensor unit. Armored 2-socket extension cables (such as standard MIL-C-5015 compatible twisted-shielded lines) must be ordered separately based on your drop length.
Q: Is the listed online price final for procurement?
A: Note: Price is subject to market availability, batch compliance tiers, and global logistics lead times; contact our technical sales desk for a formal, time-sensitive quotation.
