Fan upgrades cut maintenance costs
SKF fan upgrade solutions employ self-aligning bearings, advanced plummer (pillow) block housings and automatic lubrication systems.
The MCT is available as a basic model or as a stand-alone monitor.
The basic model provides a sensor input, buffered BNC and screw-terminal outputs and a 4-20mA output suitable for direct connection to a process control system.
The monitor option offers an alarm module front panel, a trip-multiply function, two alarm relays and one transducer relay.
The MCT has the capability to convert part of the wideband input signal to a signal that is proportional to the value of the velocity signal.
It can be tailored to specific applications due to having both factory set and user selectable configuration options.
The design uses surface mount technology (SMT), ensuring a compact unit.
CE approved, the MCT has an operating temperature of -20 to +80C.
The power supply voltage is +24V DC (23 to 28V) and includes polarity and transient protection. Request a free brochure from SKF UK ...
