PIEZOELECTRIC ACCELERATION AND VELOCITY SENSORS

MC-monitoring SA offers a range of piezoelectric sensors tailored to meet the rigorous demands of diverse industrial applications. Renowned for their durability and precision, these sensors are essential tools in environments where accurate vibration monitoring is critical.

Key features

• Acceleration or velocity output (depending on sensor type).
• Offers reduced sensitivity to transverse vibrations and excellent thermal stability, ensuring accurate readings.
• Our sensors are encased in stainless steel with an IP68 rating, ensuring they are protected against dust and moisture immersion.
• Features like dual case isolation and Faraday shielding minimize electrical noise and prevent ground loops, securing reliable outputs.
• Low noise electronics maintain precision across a broad operational.

Description

Piezoelectric sensors are a well-established technology. Our sensors are powered by a 4mA constant current source using an industry standard ICP-2 wire. Their hermetically sealed housing allows application in harsh environments. The sensors are available with an integral top cable or with top or side output connectors. Depending on the sensor type, the integrated electronics provide a signal proportional to acceleration (PAS) or velocity (PVS).

Ou Product Range

PAS Series

Specializes in acceleration measurement, this series features models like PAS-101 and PAS-103, each offering varying sensitivities and configurations to match different industrial requirements. Additionally, the PAS-138 Triaxial Accelerometer is included in this series, offering comprehensive three-dimensional vibration analysis capabilities. This model is particularly well-suited for settings where multidirectional measurement is crucial, such as in detailed diagnostics of machinery or structural integrity assessments.

PVS Series

Tailored for velocity measurement, with models such as PVS-111 and PVS-113 designed to provide specific solutions for varying monitoring conditions.

When should you choose a PAS Instead of a PVS?

Selecting between our PAS and PVS depends on your specific monitoring needs. Opt for a PAS when precise, high-frequency vibration data is crucial, as it excels in detecting rapid changes in acceleration which is vital for diagnosing issues like bearing failures or misalignment in machinery. Conversely, choose a PVS when you need to measure overall velocity, which is more indicative of the machine's operational condition. Essentially, PAS sensors are ideal for detailed, diagnostic insights, while PVS sensors are better for general health monitoring over time.

Custom Cable Assembly Options

In addition to our advanced sensors, we offer customizable cable assemblies equipped with robust connectors, high-temperature capabilities, and flexible lengths to meet various industrial requirements.

Product Customization Options

Select the ideal setup for your sensors with our range of customization options:

• Sensitivity Options (M1 vs M5): Choose M1 for standard sensitivity ideal for general applications, or M5 for higher sensitivity crucial for precise vibration detection in sensitive environments.
• Cable Exit Configurations: Opt for top cable exits to save vertical space or side exits for easier horizontal installations.
• Robust Connectors: Available in overmolded M12 or MIL options to ensure durable and reliable connections.
• High-Temperature Capabilities: Our cables are designed to withstand temperatures up to 90°C or 120°C, accommodating various industrial conditions.
• Flexible Lengths: Customize cable lengths according to your installation needs for optimal performance and setup ease.

These features ensure our sensors can be precisely adapted to meet the diverse and specific demands of your monitoring systems.
