Low-profile vibration sensor

February 2004 Sensors & Transducers

The low-profile MTN/1135 accelerometer is designed to facilitate inexpensive vibration monitoring in difficult-to-reach locations - without compromising accuracy or reliability.

Developed in response to customer demand and based on Monitran's proven sensor technology, the MTN/1135 is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications including rotating spindles, machine tools, presses and similar heavy-duty equipment employed throughout the manufacturing and automotive sectors.

Particularly suited to vibration monitoring of DC servo drives and AC motors, the MTN/1135 features an innovative mounting unit that enables the sensor to rotate around the centre of the mounting point without entangling or twisting its connecting cable.

The device's slim profile, comprising a flat-faced sensor and mount, further facilitates easy access in difficult-to-reach locations allowing it to be mounted from any direction. Unlike competing sensor devices that often have a rounded profile, this sensor can be easily installed using a spanner.

It provides a broad frequency response (0,8 Hz to 8 kHz +5%) with 100 mV/g +10% sensitivity at 80 Hz. Featuring stainless-steel construction and IP67 rating, it is suitable for industrial applications, it is available in various mounts and an integral stainless-steel overbraided single-core PTFE cable in a choice of lengths, the MTN/1135 offers an unrivalled degree of flexibility.
