Simple pump vibration monitoring probes
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
New vibration sensor has choice of output signals
A new vibration sensor is designed to meet the requirements of building service managers, who are using vibration monitoring systems to help provide trouble-free utility services for their workplace
The new range allows engineers to monitor vibration levels of pumps, fans, motors, drilling rigs and all types of rotating machinery, that are in potentially explosive operating conditions.
This covers environments of inflammable gases, fumes, chemicals, powders, dust, etc found in industries such as mining, offshore drilling, petrochemical, quarrying.
Each unit has full ATEC and Eex certification and like most Monitran sensors is robustly constructed throughout in stainless steel, welded and sealed to IP67.
This, together with the high temperature resistant and stainless steel over braided cable ensures that the sensors offer reliability, optimum performance and long service in tough operating conditions.
The models 1100IC and 1107IC can be used directly with most commercially available intrinsically safe data collectors or interfaced through standard barrier equipment, whilst model 1185IC has a 4-20mA output, ideal for real-time alarm and monitoring systems.
Depending on the chosen model, frequency responses of 0.8Hz to 12kHz are available with operating temperature ranges covering a maximum of -55 to 140C.
All models offer a choice of mounting threads and the popular 'Quick-Fit' options for fast fitting of the sensors.
