Vibration transducers survive industrial extremes
Industrial vibration transducers are designed specifically for use in harsh, heavy plant applications where small, lightweight accelerometers have only a limited life.
Despite its small size, the 1020 accelerometer has a very good signal to noise ratiob making it especially suited to applications involving low vibration level investigations.
The frequency response is from 5Hz to 3kHz and the maximum shock load is 500G.
The operating temperature range is -60 to +125C and connection is by a 10x32 microdot type connector.
The 14mm wide case, machined from solid S303 stainless steel, has a plain, flat base to allow mounting using hard beeswax to avoid damage to the component under test.
When a more robust mounting is required, cyanoacrylate cement (superglue) may be used.
For use in wet environments, including underwater, a fully waterproof version is available.
