Monitran launches low-profile accelerometer
The MTN/1100SHC accelerometer is specifically designed to provide effective vibration and shock monitoring in a wide range of OEM, industrial and machinery applications, where space is limited.
The new eddy current probe offers highly accurate, non-contact measurement, with the ability to operate at a distance of up to 20mm from its target, which provides operators with the flexibility to adapt to a wide variety of applications.
In common with all the probes in Monitran's eddy current range, the new unit can operate in temperatures ranging from -30C to +180C, with a sensitivity of +/-5% at 120C.
The new probe has a simple but resilient stainless steel construction and probe tips are encapsulated to prevent the ingress of oil and water.
Consequently, accuracy is maintained and the need for maintenance or replacement procedures is minimised, even in harsh operating conditions.
The probe is available in four model types covering measurement ranges from 0 to 2mm to 0 to 20mm and in a choice of either flange mounting or threaded bodies.
A range of optional accessories, including probe holders, extension cables and driver housings are available to facilitate their use in machine condition monitoring applications.
