Measures vibration in three axes

The constant current device has three isolated AC outputs corresponding to the X, Y and Z axes, and a top-entry 4 pin M12 connector. Standard sensitivity is 100mV/g at 80Hz, and the acceleration range is +/-80g.

The internal electronics use a new PCB design and are isolated to minimise noise, with increased bias voltage stability. The case is sealed to IP66 and is available in stainless steel, or aluminium for reduced weight.

"Until now triaxial sensors have been relatively expensive," said Andy Anthony, Monitran's managing director, "so we developed this unit to meet customer demand for a sensibly priced, low profile device."

Among the advantages of using triaxial sensors are reduced data collection times, a reduction in wiring and more consistent reliability in readings. Typical application sectors include aerospace, automotive and general research and development.
