Monitran has a new generation of MTN/1100 accelerometers designed to augment the performance, reliability and operating life of equipment through cost-effective vibration and condition monitoring.

Monitran has a new generation of MTN/1100 accelerometers specifically designed to augment the performance, reliability and operating life of industrial equipment through cost-effective vibration and condition monitoring.

Based on the proven sensor technology of the 1100 Series, the latest generation of accelerometers feature an even greater degree of functionality, combined with improved performance, to help engineers identify potential problems quickly and easily.

This allows for service costs to be cut and output to be increased as maintenance schedules can be planned well in advance, keeping downtime to a minimum.

The inherent flexibility of the MTN/1100 Series means the range is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications including paper machinery, pumps, compressors, fans, air handling units, oil, petrochemical and mining.

The MTN/1100 range also features OEM, intrinsically safe, and low-profile versions, with optional top and side cable entry capability for applications such as machine tools where access is often restricted.

Stainless-steel construction and IP67 sealing further contribute to the range's suitability for industrial applications, providing excellent frequency response of 2Hz to 8kHz +/-10% (3dB at 0.8Hz), superb repeatability, and 100mV/g +/-10% sensitivity for high accuracy in even the most demanding environments.

New technical features of the MTN/1100 Series include internal screening to eliminate the effects of radio frequency and electromagnetic interference as well as internal voltage surge protection, making the range particularly suitable for machine applications where power spikes are a concern.

Available with various mounts and a choice of connector assemblies including standard industry connectors, the MTN/1100 range is easy to install and set up.

In essence, the wide range of new features and benefits associated with the MTN/1100 Series means OEMs can add extra value to the products they manufacture, while end-users benefit from accurate, cost-effective and hassle-free vibration monitoring.
