Industrial accelerometer goes to any
depth
A new compact industrial accelerometer from Monitran can operate completely submerged to a depth of 100 metres: ideal for vibration monitoring of underwater pumps or in outdoor weather conditions
Monitran has released the new MTN1100QW, a compact industrial accelerometer which is ideal for vibration monitoring of underwater pumps, roll bearings in the continuously wet conditions of paper mills, and applications where rotating machinery is experiencing outdoor weather conditions The new vibration sensor is much smaller than previous models, being a considerable 45% less in size, weighing just 120 grams, 30 grams lighter than before

The latest eddy current probes from Monitran, for non-contact vibration monitoring of pumps, have been designed to offer reliable AC or DC displacement measurement, with a 4-20mA output
These reductions allow the MTN1100QW to be used in more confined spaces.
More and more crucial process and production plant is being monitored for increasing vibration level trends, which helps the maintenance engineer predict and control when machine components can be serviced or replaced at the most convenient time.
The MTN1100QW accelerometer uses proven piezoelectric technology and is housed in a welded stainless steel body for robustness and is sealed to IP68, allowing submerged use up to 100 metres depth.
It measures over +/-50g with a frequency response range from 2Hz to 10kHz, offering a standard sensitivity of 100mV/g and operation at temperatures from -25 to 90C.
The accelerometer has a standard thread for mounting purposes but can also be used with a series of adaptors and studs offering a wide choice of thread types and fixing methods, including the popular 'Quick Fit' fitting for ease of use.
