Description

MC-monitoring's Fiberoptic Acceleration Sensors (FAS) represent a pinnacle of technological innovation in the field of optical sensor technology. With over 15 years of expertise and thousands of machines equipped globally, MC-monitoring stands as a leader in this domain. The pioneering FAS technology, patented since 2006, has been continually refined to offer unprecedented levels of stability and resolution, even in the most challenging operational environments.

These sensors are adeptly designed for effective vibration monitoring in power generators, particularly crucial in turbo and hydro generators where end-winding vibrations can lead to significant maintenance challenges. The FAS series, including the advanced FAS-200 model and its predecessors, is characterized by its non-conductive nature, making it immune to electromagnetic interferences — a vital feature for accurate measurements in high electromagnetic fields.

Whether it's the FAS-200 with its monolithic sensing element or the earlier models, each sensor in the FAS series brings robustness, precision, and reliability to the table. With options like dual-axis monitoring and ATEX certification, the FAS series caters to a wide range of industrial applications. The fiberoptic cable attached to each model facilitates versatile and straightforward installation across diverse settings.

In essence, MC-monitoring’s Fiberoptic Acceleration Sensors embody the fusion of cutting-edge innovation and practical functionality, making them an indispensable asset for a variety of industrial monitoring needs.
