M8 connector provides compact vibration sensors

Hansford Sensors is now using the compact M8 connector to produce the smaller range of HS-130 accelerometers.

This reduction in size gives the HS-130 accelerometer a much smaller footprint making it suitable for monitoring vibration levels on smaller machinery and allowing them to be used where space is limited.

Hansford said that the connectors are robust and secure, simple to install and offer easy manipulation.

A wide choice of mounting options are offered to meet factory requirements.

Sealed to IP67, the M8 connector is a part of an industry standard and can be supplied in a wide variety of tailored assemblies of differing lengths.

Hansford has already applied the M12 connectors across its HS-100, HS-100S, HS-420 and HS-421 approved series of vibration sensors, most of which are also available in ATEX approved versions for intrinsically safe use.

All models are constructed in welded stainless steel and offer either top or side entry for the electrical connection.

Both the M8 and M12 mating connectors are available in straight or right-angle versions.

Typical applications for the HS-130 include pharmaceutical, food, marine and printing installations, plus intricate packaging and handling machinery.
