Bently Nevada 200151-60-03-00 Accelerometer Standard Cable
Product Introduction 200151-60-03-00
The Bently Nevada 200151-60-03-00 Accelerometer Standard Cable provides a durable and reliable connection between accelerometers and monitoring instrumentation. This 6.0-meter cable features connectors factory-molded on both ends, ensuring a robust interface that withstands industrial environments. The blue PVC outer jacket with armor offers enhanced mechanical protection, while the 4-conductor 22 AWG construction with braided shielding delivers consistent signal integrity. Specifically designed for accelerometer applications, this cable maintains performance across a wide temperature range.
Technical Specifications 200151-60-03-00
The 200151-60-03-00 employs a 4-conductor, 22 AWG configuration with a braided shield and drain wire. The shield provides minimum 85% coverage, effectively reducing electromagnetic interference in noisy industrial settings. Moreover, the cable incorporates a PVC outer jacket that resists oils, chemicals, and abrasion commonly found in machinery environments. The nickel-plated coupling nuts on both connectors offer excellent corrosion resistance and ensure secure mating to transducers and mating hardware.
Cable Length and Armor Details 200151-60-03-00
This specific model variant includes the -60 option, indicating a cable length of 6.0 meters. The -03 option specifies a blue cable with armor, which provides additional protection against mechanical damage during installation and operation. The standard coupling nut (-00 option) ensures universal compatibility with Bently Nevada accelerometers and interface hardware. The overall minimum bend radius measures 63.5 mm (2.5 inches), allowing flexible routing in confined spaces without compromising cable performance.
Environmental Performance
The 200151-60-03-00 operates reliably within a temperature range of -20°C to +100°C (-4°F to +212°F). For applications requiring lower temperatures, the cable may function at temperatures below -20°C provided the installation prevents flexing or bending during operation. However, flexing the cable below -20°C may cause permanent damage, so users should consider fixed routing in cold environments. Furthermore, the connectors carry an IP67 rating, delivering a dust-tight seal and protection against temporary immersion in water.
Connector and Sealing Features
The connectors on the 200151-60-03-00 are molded directly to the cable, creating a unified assembly that eliminates potential failure points at termination joints. The IP67 seal ensures reliable performance even in dusty or wet conditions commonly found in industrial facilities. Additionally, users can apply DC4 electrical insulating compound inside the connectors for extra moisture protection during thermal shock events. This compound cures within 24 hours and extends the connector's temperature range from -55°C to +121°C (-67°F to +250°F), accommodating extreme environmental transitions.
Installation Considerations
Installation of the 200151-60-03-00 requires attention to bend radius limitations and temperature constraints. First, avoid routing the cable with bends tighter than 63.5 mm to prevent internal conductor damage. Next, ensure the cable routing does not expose it to continuous flexing at temperatures below -20°C. When installing in areas with thermal cycling, applying DC4 compound in the connectors provides additional moisture resistance during rapid temperature changes. Finally, verify that the coupling nuts are securely tightened to maintain the IP67 seal integrity.
